It is with great sorrow that I have to announce the passing of our Soke Roger Wilkes 10th Dan and founder of Kyushin Ryu Ju Jitsu Association.
Soke dedicated his life to martial arts, to our Association and to all of our students. He will be sorely missed but his legacy will remain through continued teaching of Ju Jitsu in his name, and those that taught him.
From all of us at KRJJA you will be forever in our hearts and minds Soke.
Thank you for all you have done and for the knowledge and respect you have passed on.
Our Sensei, Mentor and Friend.
Soke Roger Wilkes 🙏
