13th april 2015...What a sad day for me and for Karate

Wado ryu worldwide. One of the best Sensei and man

I ever met in my life...I will miss forever Sensei Renzo

Grigio, thanks for everything you have taught me!

​

Today was another one of those days you would not want

never arrived. An unexpected sad news, a strong shot from a

clear sky. Another part of our history that leaves us, a man

strong and proud who left a large footprint in the world of

Italian Karate of the last thirty years. A friend who has always

honored and treated with courtesy and respect me, my family

and students. A friend who has never forgotten the past spent

side by side during IMADA times. There are many words that

I would say, but I think are not enough to fill the void he left. 

His presence at my event in December 2014, has really made

me happy because to have Sensei Renzo Grigio back my

home after more than a decade, was a leap in the past that has

given me a strong and deep emotion. A feeling that makes us

understand how important it is not to forget those who 

somehow walk on the life journey and have made what we

now are. Dear Renzo, I hadn't have time to thank you for

everything you have given me in those fabulous 90s, but I

am happy and honored to have been able to consider me your

FRIEND. Rest in peace great Master Renzo Grigio. You'll

always remain forever in our hearts and memories. From me

and all the YKKF International, our sincere condolence to his

family, children and students.
