These are the Legends who we have lost ,even though they are gone we will never forget their contribution to Sport Karate and the path they paved for all of us .These warriors open doors for all ,whether you were a traditional martial artist or a MMA person or a Sport Karate Warrior.
We will miss your smile and your attitude in American Sport Karate.
Rest in Peace, brothers and sisters
