Kawahara Sensei's Passing..

Sadly, we have lost another of the North American Shihankai, and a lynchpin of aikido in Canada.. Below is an email from the Canadian Aikido Federation..

I will miss his grins as he physically showed the jujitsu origins of various aikido techniques..

"Dear CAF Members,

It is with the deepest regret and profound sorrow that I inform you of the death of Kawahara Shihan.

He passed away in Victoria on Thursday evening. During his last days he was kindly attended to by a number of his students who communicated to him the great respect and affection that so many of us felt.

More information will follow as it becomes available.

Sincerely,
George Hewson

CAF President"
