Sensei Kisaburo Watanabe

We at the Budokwai were deeply saddened by the death of Sensei Kisaburo Watanabe. 

A much revered and respected Sensei and friend, he arrived at The Budokwai in 1962. His portrait hangs in the main dojo and his legacy will never be forgotten. Our sincerest condolences are with his wife, two daughters and the many, many friends.
