Dear Julia,

I just read about the passing of your father. I never met him but he had a profound impact on me. He had great courage in founding his own style of Goju back when it was very politically incorrect to do so. I don't think even the word courage does him justice but I lack for a better one. Take care in the knowledge that he touched many of us over the years.

With deepest respect,
Dan Anderson

Peter Urban....

My sincerest regards on his passing.
I remeber when I was kid training in North Carolina, I had read about him in a magazine article and was totally blown away by what he went thru to achieve his standing in the arts and to become a respected sensei in his own rights.
I continued to search out info from him,his style of teaching and philosohies,which in turn,encouraged me to search even more instruction on the subjects available and still keep learning after 32yrs in the martial arts.
Godspeed Mr.Urban,
and thank you.
