It is with great sadness and regret that I have to announce the passing of a great Wado Sensei, Yoshitsugu (Yoshi) Shinohara 8th Dan Shihan.
As many British Wadokai members will remember, especially during the 1970's to 1990's, he was one of the leading instructors through our UKKF, UKKW, and EKA years. We have all benefited from the teachings of this great Sensei. He will be sorely missed by us all. Our deepest condolences go out to his Family, Friends and Deshi. GE Swift Hanshi. |
