Our deepest condolences to JKS SA and Norman Shihans family and friends.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our beloved Shihan Norman Robinson.
He passed away peacefully early this morning.

Shihan Norman was a true icon. A mentor, leader, and friend whose influence extended far beyond the dojo. His passion for karate, his wisdom, and his generous spirit lit up every room and touched countless lives across South Africa and the world.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife Sally, his children Joanne, Tina, Garth, and Mark, his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and the entire Robinson family. May you find comfort in the cherished memories and strength in the love that surrounds you.

Shihan, your legacy will live on in all of us.
Oss. πŸ•ŠοΈ
