Mourning a loss
I learned today that recently, one of my original martial arts instructors passed away.
Link to the sad news.
Sensei Henderson was an assistant instructor at the Karate classes I took at the Chattanooga Jewish Community Center back in the mid 1980's. I remember that he was an avid fan of lifting weights... in a time when most martial artists eschewed such practices.
Around about 1987, he opened his own karate school, which I trained at part time (I could never get enough martial arts training!). Though I had lost contact with him some time ago, he was part of the organization I belong to.
Steve had been battling cancer the past few years.
