Sensei Masataka Mori, 9th Dan (1932-2018)

JKA Boston mourns the loss of Sensei Mori, founder of JKA Shotokan Karate-Do International. Sensei Mori often emphasized friendship and taught his students how to be better human beings. He is known for saying “learn through your sweat,” meaning that you will improve your character by working hard and endeavoring, and “never swagger,” meaning you should never be cocky or show off. He wanted us to focus on our posture and stance; he stressed basics over flashy techniques.

Sensei Mori made a huge impact on the lives of many JKA Boston members. We are grateful to have had the privilege of being his students.
