April 28, 201214 yr I saw Sensei Demura for the first time today since he became ill. He had a stiff leg, walker, smaller belly and for the first time he look like he was in in 70s. It was really sad and hope that this won't be the last time I get to see him. Everyone should take any chance they get to see him because I don't know how many chances are left.

Thanks for the update and hopefully he will make a miraculous recovery.

April 29, 201214 yr Here's a letter from Demura Sensei...http://www.genbu-kai-hq.com/Images/0%200%200%20Sensei%20message%20110613%20smaller.jpg **Proof is on the floor!!!
May 11, 201214 yr The fact that he's up and around on his own power is already evidence of a great recovery. He credits his strength to his karate training.From that I hear, that's what his seminars are about these days. He has shifted his focus from teaching techniques to telling people about the positive effect training can have on your life, and how it saved his.I've had the privilege of participating in discussions with Demura Sensei on a few occasions, and I've always found him to be a rare combination of impressive and humble.

September 26, 201214 yr As Sensei Demura heads our linage too, I send him my best wishes and prayers for a strong recovery and extend my association's love and support. Look to the far mountain and see all.
September 29, 201214 yr Author I heard that he is continuing to improve! I was told he was able to walk for a short while without his walker and that was in July.
