MASARU SHINTANI


Shintani



It is with great saddness that we post this memorial to the passing of MASARU SHINTANI. Hanshi Shintani, 9th Dan, Wado-ryu Karate passed away in May of this year. Shintani Sensei was head of the Shintani Wado-Kai Federation, an organization of over 15,000 members. He was truly a remarkable and talented practitioner who will be sorely missed. He also served as a member of the IKKF Executive Board and was one of the Founding Members of the World Union Of Martial Arts Federations (WUMAF).
He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
