It is with great regret and heavy heart that I must announce the passing of another Wado legend, Sensei Naoki Ishikawa 8th Dan. Sensei Ishikawa passed away on Thursday the 21st August 2008, and he will be missed by all those who were touched by his wisdom. I would like to express my condolences to his family and students. He will be sorely missed. Gary E Swift (7th Dan) Kyoshi.
