The world feels a little less bright today. Yesterday we lost a legend. Sensi Dan Brown, the man who gave us the gift the gift of Judo. Without him, our community just wouldn't have been the same. He shared his wealth of knowledge and passion with the community for SO many years. Everything he did, he did from the kindness of his heart. Anyone who has ever came into contact with him would quickly learn that even though he often tried not to show it , he had the BIGGEST heart. He would do anything for anyone who needs it. He was a mentor, coach, an inspiration and has touched the lives of so many. Sensi ensured that his dojo wasn't just a dojo but a home and a safe place to go. He made you feel like you were a part of this big, beautiful Judo family. He poured his heart and soul into Judo. He loved his students with his all. Being in the dojo, teaching his students is what brought him the most joy. I have never met anyone more passionate about something as he was about Judo. The world, the community, life and Judo just won't be the same without him. Poppy I love you so much and we will make sure your legacy forever lives on 🥋❤️
