It is with great sadness to announce the passing of IJKA UK Honarary Chairman, Sensei Ron Bellwood 7th Dan, on 29th December 2022 following a brief illness at the age of 92.
He was a well respected instructor and continued teaching and training until a few weeks before his passing.
He began his Karate training in the early seventies after finishing his football career with his local club and practicing Yoga. He had been Kato Sensei’s student since the late seventies. He was one of the most senior instructors in IJKA UK which he helped found following the passing of Sensei Kato.
We extend our deepest condolences to Ron Sensei’s family, friends and to his Blackpool dojo students.
Ron Sensei, you will be missed but not forgotten.
Ron Sensei, you will be missed but not forgotten.
Oss.
