I was really shocked hear the sad news of Shihan Nardi T Nirwanto who had been keeping in touch with me since
1982. We all had been training Kyokushin together, Shihan Nirwanto was dear friend of late D A Weilgama (sri Lanka ) Shihan Nirwanto dedicated his life to Kyokushin. He always told me that he would never give up Kyokushin. He was in a class by himself as a Karate master and he always called me little brother from Sri Lanka. But I have no words to express my my sorrow, irreparable loss to Kyokushin. He was really desparate over what happened to Kyokushin in Asia. he was worried that Kyokushin broke into many groups. We too faced the same in Sri Lank due to unavoidable circumstances, Sensei Weilgama who was the first Kyokushin branch chief of Asia, had to change the style due to bad people s acitivities.
To be perfect honest, tears welled up in my eyes as Shihan Nirwanto is looking at me, on the wall in my room,
same black and photo sent to me in 1982.
MAY HE REST IN PEACE AND BE BORN AGAIN IN THIS WORLD AS A GREAT KARET KA.

[quote="Kuristina Oyama"]Ohh....

Much condolences to his family and students...

Mother and I travelled to Indonesia (with Goda, Matsushima as well) when I was nine- and I remember he was so so kind and gentle... He treated Mother like a Queen. She went there for a tournament on behalf of Sosai.... (then he was Kancho). I still have the shell ring he bought us.

Now he is with Sosai and Mother, they will be looking down...

May he rest in peace...[/quote]


Osu.

I am a student of Shihan Nardi from PMK Kyokushinkai Karate do Indonesia.
Deepest Lost of a Great Man who dedicate his entire life to Kyokushin Karate and he tought us a "Budho" spirit and I remmember once he told me how sorry he was watching IKO Kyokushin devided into many parts since Sosai passed away (included in Indonesia), He put a lot of respect to Sosai and He still think Sosai as his own parent (as he wrote on his Biography) and he remmember when he trainned in Honbu, Madame took a baby girl to him and she is Kuristina and he's so glad he had a chance to hold that baby girl.
Although he already seperated his organization from Honbu, but not in his spirit, his teaching ( he wrote several articles about Honbu and quoted Shihan Quinn articles and translate to Bahasa Indonesia).

May He rest in peace....... and The Budho Spirit that Sosai teach us will still live with us and I quote Shihan Quinn's email....
"We hope Shihan's students continue to honour him through their ongoing training and loyal devotion to their teacher, Shihan Nardi, and to his teacher in turn, Sosai Mas Oyama."

This is a real sign of how Kyokushin is marching on. The original teachers are growing old and meeting in the big dojo in the sky.
RIP Shihan.

Nice way to put it Rob. If you see it in that light it is nice to think Sosai went ahead to prepare the dojo for his students...
