Hamilton Wado-Kai are saddened to hear of the passing of a great teacher and gentle-man, Hakoishi Katsumi Sensei who passed away in Japan. Our heartfelt condolences to his family, students and Wado who mourn this sad loss.

It is hard to describe Hakoishi Sensei as he was a different persona to different people, but wherever he was and whomever he was with, he always took pleasure in teaching over and above what you needed to know. He was a fount of knowledge, a jokester, a jetsetter, and so much more.

We will remember you fondly Hakoishi Sensei. Rest in Love.
ご生前のご功績を偲び、心からご冥福をお祈り申し上げます。
