A sad day for martial arts.

[twendkata71]

Karate pioneer and founder of the American karate associate and American karate systems Ernest Leib was killed in a train accident in Germany on his way to teach at a seminar. He was an excellent teacher and competitor.
Also, Jujitsu pioneer and karate practitioner GM Michael Pasquale Sr. passed away. He was soke of the Yoshitsune Jujitsu style. And was a pioneer in spreading martial arts.
Both will be sadly missed by the martial arts community.

Truly a sad day. Soke Michael DePasquale Sr. was a true pioneer and I know he had been ill for quite some time. My condolences to the Yoshitune Family and Depasquale family.

I did not know of Ernest Leib, Sensei but my condolences to his family and friends also.
