Our beloved Tomoyose sensei RIP

[Van Canna]

A sad day for the Uechi world...Such a humble warrior and great family friend.

We will dedicate the class at the Hut this Saturday to him. Paul Giella

Yes, Paul, nice gesture, and Tomoyose sensei did visit the hut once....where I remember doing my power forms for him that he really liked. He always had a way of making someone feel good. God bless him.

He was a wonderful person and a great teacher. The Uechi world has lost a treasure.

The forty-nine day period of mourning for our grandmaster (as in grandfather; the teacher of our teacher) has now passed. According to the Buddhist tradition, his spirit is now free to move on. Let us say again "Sayonara, Tomoyose Sensei", and an everlasting thankyou.
