It is with great sadness we have learnt of the passing of Sensei Katsumi Hakoishi.
Sensei Hakoishi was an 8th Dan with the JKF and he played a vital role in the development of Wado-Kai Karate and within the JKF & WKF.
A personal and long-time friend of the NIKW’s chief Instructor Sensei Brunton, their friendship spanned the decades. Training together to refine and develop the art of Karate-Do.
Sensei Brunton has said “I am deeply saddened by the passing of my long term friend, my deepest sympathies and thoughts are with his family at this time.”
