Nelson Goju Ryu Karate

Konnichi wa Minasan

It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Sensei Andrew Paxton. We extend our thoughts to his family and friends of his passing.

I am sure I speak for all who know and have trained with Sensei Andrew that we all are grateful and better for his input. He always managed to find time for you and share not only knowledge but a laugh!

He is a fine Karateka, a fine Scotsman and indeed a fine gentleman.

From the Richmond Dojo, Sensei Andrew, Domo Arigato Gozaimasu - we thank you and we will miss you.

The Richmond Karateka

PS, yes, that is Morgan getting both knowledge and a laugh!
