Aloha Shihan Lowe, OSU

      Yachiyo and I attended Shihan Lowe's funeral today. It was very moving ceremony with many well known karatekas in attendance. The Canadian delegation in their bright red blazers, the Hawaii Shihans and Senseis in their dark blue blazers stood out making the ceremony special Kyokushin style.



Many local Karate Senseis were here to say theor farewells. Shihan Correigal from Canada gave a moving tribute to Shihan Lowe and family members gave insight to Shihan Lowe as a loving and caring husband and parent.  Michael, Shihan Lowe's son, placed his father's black belt on his casket.
       The Burial Service was held at Nuuanu Mortuary and Gardens under the bright Hawaiian sun. It was closed with Matsui Kancho leading all in a Chudan Tsuki farewell.
        Shihan Lowe is now with Oyama Sosai and looking over Kyokushinkai's future.

Aloha Shihan Lowe.... OSU!

Update (^^)

(^^) Aloha everyone! It has been awhile since I last posted. We just had our annual promotion test yesterday. I had the video camera all set up but.........forgot to push the record button. Oh well,
The kids and mommies all did well. We will passing out new belts at the next class.
It seems as though both Yachiyo and I have caught a cold. With my recent pneumonia episode, I really need to make sure it doesn't get worse! Should be back to normal next weekend with the Monthly newsletter and One Point Lessons.
