HANSHI 10th DAN
Passed away at age 92
1932-2024
On August 3, 2024, Grand Master SEIKICHI IHA, Hanshi 10th
Dan, passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by his children and many friends. Words fail me to adequately express the incredible
sadness and empty feeling I have, learning of the death of my beloved teacher Sensei Iha. Sensei Iha was a world renowned teacher of teachers, legendary master of karate whose
memory and legacy will live on in the karateka and their students/descendants
who loved, respected and admired him. The impact he made on the martial arts world is immeasurable. But
even more significant, he was a loving father, brother and son, as well as an
esteemed mentor and treasured friend to countless men and women on a global
level. I had the honor and privilege to
have even known him but also the great fortune to have been his student, devotee
and friend for 35 years.
