It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Kyoshi Andrew Roberts. He passed with his family surrounding him.
It was only a few short weeks ago that Andrew was presented with his Rokudan from the Australian Board of Kanchos.
Andrew will be remembered for his enthusiasm in what ever he tackled and to his ongoing contribution to the Martial Arts.

Today (22/11/16) we say goodbye to a friend who meant many things to a lot of people. He played many roles in his life - Dad, Husband, Friend, Kyoshi - he wore all the hats well.
The Martial Arts have lost one of the most respect teachers around, a Leader in the industry with his commitment and "Old School" values. His students have lost a dedicated teacher.
Some of us have lost a great mate, one that will be in our hearts and memories forever.
But most importantly his family have lost a husband, father and grandfather.
Vale Kyoshi Andrew Roberts. See you on the other side Brother. Paul Veldman
