Enoeda Keinosuke (The Tiger) became Chief Instructor for the JKA in Europe (London) taking over from Kanazawa Hirokazu. Enoeda was the President of the Karate Union of Great Britain (KUGB) (European Shotokan Karate Association (ESKA)) and achieved the grade of 9th Dan, his death in March 2003, was a great loss to the world of karate, and to the honour and belief of martial arts. "The iron ore considers itself senselessly tortured in the blast furnace. The tempered steel blade looks lack and knows why, acknowledging the skill of the forgemaster" qv. Enoeda Keinosuke.
Master Enoeda Sensei also said....
"The soul of Karate-do is peace and concern for all mankind. It is my wish that people who practice karate-do should always keep these things in mind;- a modest heart, gentle attitude and peace for mankind. The spirit of "Karate ni sente nashi" is thus fulfilled. click here for some of his books.......
