Passing of Kyoshi Hawkins
Chris Brueckner
Kyoshi Hawkins is on our Kamiza for many reasons and the one that is close to the heart. He helped inspire and develop the desires of martial arts in me. He was a man that would help you put in check any doubt. To celebrate his life, I see the students and people he has inspired and wish a most heartfelt farewell. I do feel he will be with us and me forever. I hope many of you have some memories of him and celebrate him and I will reach out for some photos to give to the new students so that they will remember the teachers before them and strive to become the best person themselves.
Kyoshi Hawkins, Esq. I will miss you!
