NEWS - OUR THOUGHTS

 

On 30th April 2009 Hideki Okamoto 8th DAN JKA an international

director of JKA in Middle East and Africa passed away from cancer age 67.

 
Okomoto Sensei visited Scotland in 2006 and along with

Ueki Sensei (grading the present JKA WFS committee members

to their current grades). We will never forget the training with the chop

sticks at JKA HQ in 2008 or his stories from his time in the Middle

East which left most of us speechless. He was truely a gentleman

and someone who will never be forgotten.

Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time and we pray

that his soul rests in peace.
