Shihan Hirokazu Kanazawa 10th Dan (3rd May 1931 – 8th December 2019)
Kanazawa Shihan inspired hundreds of thousands of karateka around the world. He was an incredible karateka and a gentleman.
I can still picture him demonstrating his kata with grace, power and precision. He was truly one of a kind.
He would often come to the UK and when he did, it was the highlight of my training.
Luckily there's lot's of amazing karateka continuing his teaching style and we still have lots of video footage and memories of this great master. Oss!
