DragonMike Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I have some sad news to share with the group. My instructor called me last night to tel me Ken Eubanks passed away last weekend due to a hart attack. Ken was very involved in NASKA and RSKC associations. He also promoted the Bluegrass Nations every year. The MA community lost a great supporter. 5th Dan Tang Soo Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleung Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Yes, this is sad news indeed. I met up with him at the last NASKA event in November at the Miami event. He was always one of the nicest judges and promoters to talk to. I wonder what will happen to the Bluegrass event (as well as the NASKA annual) now.

ladyj Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Unfortunately this news is true. He passed away on the 3rd. Mr. Eubanks has been a friend of my sensei for many years and I came up through the ranks having the privilage of knowing him. He has inspired and touched many people over the years with his wisdom and kindness. The martial arts world has truly lost someone special.

cleung Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 He was one of those judges/promoters who actually took the time to talk to you if you wanted feedback from the judges. He always gave me valuable feedback and always acknowledged me at every tournament we met at. He was a true gentleman in the martial arts world.
