Scottish Karate Alliance was saddened to hear of the death of
Shihan Ogasahara .Ogashara ,from Japan ,was the honorary President of
WUKO and a very respected world karate-ka .SKA President Bill Hair
spent some time in his company at the 2009 WUKO World Championships in
Mexico which concluded with Ogasahara giving Bill a Japanese picture
which hangs proudly in his house today .
All at Burakudo and SKA are very sad to here of the death of our
young member Zak Scott. Zak was born with heart and lung
difficulties and defied the doctors and science by living,through
many ,many dangerous operations to the age of 14 years.
Our fondest memory of Zak was in 2010 when he took 3rd place
In the kata at SKA grand-prix at Castlepark the memory of that
day will live with all of us who knew Zak and time will not age
or change it

Oss Zak , gone but never forgotten.

Our thought are with his family

Sensei.
