It is with great sadness that I have received the news of Sensei Leon’s death.
I was looking forward to seeing him among our other IOGKF colleagues in Okinawa next month. He will be sorely missed among the ranks of his huge karate family and friends.
We have held a minutes silence at the beginning of each class out respect for him as a person of karate and friend.
My condolences to his family and relatives.
