I am sorry to inform every one of the death of my good friend of over 50 years Haydn Foster Sensei, one of the last three original British Aikido pioneers from its 1950s, from its inception by Kenshiro Abbe Sensei.

Rest in peace my dear friend

I am sorry to hear this, Henry. Every time I hear that another one of the old giants of Aikido has passed away, I can't help but think that our own responsibilities for trying to live up to them just increased again. These pioneers got this whole thing going... we owe it to them to keep it going strong. Condolences to all who knew the man.
