It is with great sadness to share the news of the passing of Hanshi Asano.
Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

29.10.1939 – 19.01.2026

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of our father, Hanshi Shiro Asano.

He dedicated his life to spreading the art and discipline of Karate; shaping skilled Karate-ka, instilling spirit, values, and confidence, and leading and building the family of SKIF-GB.

To so many of you, he was more than an instructor; he was a role model, a mentor, a guide, a friend, and someone who stood tall. He brought energy, a sense of humour, humility, and a big heart into every room he entered.

He was larger than life, brave, honest, and always the life and soul of the party; someone who lived fully, laughed loudly, and gave generously. His legacy lives on in the countless personal memories each of you will carry: lessons from the dojo that stayed with you long after training ended, trips away, and conversations shared over a beer and a social after “hard training”.

This is very recent and as such there are no arrangements yet. Our family kindly ask that you respect our privacy at this sad time.

Thank you for being part of his Karate family, which he loved with all his heart. His spirit lives on in every student he taught and every life he has touched over the last 86 years.

We will forever love and miss him. In his own words:

“One life, must enjoy, Oss!”
