Richard Kim passes....
It is with great sadness that I inform you that O'Sensei Richard Kim had passed away peacefully at 8:45 am this morning (Thursday).

A true karate master, a pillar in martial arts, a meijin. With the immense impact he has in the history of martial arts, he will be dearly missed.

His book, The Weaponless Warriors, is a must read for any karate practitioner. It is also a good read for those who like studying martial arts history, or just like good stories.

Condolences to his family, friends, and students.

I never knew him but I did know of him and the Martial Arts World is much smaller with his passing. My best to his family and students.
