May They Rest In Peace

This page is dedicated to our martial arts brothers and sisters who have left us and passed on to a better place. Though this site is not nearly large enough to pay tribute to all of the great martial artists who have passed on, we should remember them and the impact they had on us, the martial arts community, and the world.

Notes

It is with much regret and sorrow that I am still realizing the loss of our FSKA brother who left us to join the angels in the sky.
Terrence was an excellent competitor who had spectators and judges stop in their tracks as he performed his crisp kata and dizzying speed in kumite.
Besides being a shining star in tournaments, he was a gentleman who deeply cared for his peers and helped them in any way he could. He didn’t have to say much to prove himself, but his charisma was contagious.
If you have absorbed the above, please install carbon monoxide detectors to prevent tragedies like this which has taken Terrence and his daughter, Marissa.
May Terrence and Marissa be flying high and visit us often.
