A great karateka, and a very important person for Okinawan Goju-Ryu has passed away. Sensei Leon Pantanowitz spent his whole life protecting traditional karate and passing it to all of us. The development of IOGKF today owes a lot to him. As IOGKF members, we will carry his legacy, train hard, preserve and pass this art to our next generation. His spirit will be with us forever
May he rest in peace,
Tetsuji Nakamura
IOGKF Administrative Director / IOGKF Canada Chief Instructor
