>I received a deeply shocking message and couldn’t hold back my tears. Teruchika Yamazaki, known as the Dragon of Kyokushin, winner of the 1st All-Japan Karate Championship, and the mentor of the Crush Gals, has passed away. It must have been 42 years ago now—we became close during a training camp in Izu. He was strong in both body and spirit, and truly cool. His signature was “Fūrinkazan,” and he always carried himself with the dignity of the quintessential Japanese man. The last time I saw him was when he visited a Marigold event.
>Though he was the Crush Gals’ mentor, he was someone I could also proudly call a mentor of my own. I offer my deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers in remembrance of his life and accomplishments.
