A farewell to a great teacher
Tamura Shihan passed away last night.
He was O'Sensei's Uchi Deshi (live-in student) between the years 1953-1964, and then was teaching in France and giving seminars all around the world.
I was lucky to take a few of his classes, in a couple of his visits to the USA.
I will always remember him as a kind teacher, who demonstrated a marvelous Aikido, with a smile on his face, taking ukemi for everyone on the mat.
He once told us that when we practice we make positive vibrations, and that if every Dojo will make the same vibrations — these vibrations can spread all around, and will bring more positivity around the world.
