Soke Jan de Jong - the passing of an era!
It's with much sadness that I announce the passing of Jan De Jong Soke .
I was informed this morning that De Jong Soke passed away on Saturday, aged 82years.
I feel extremely priveledged to have had the opportunity to train with De Jong Soke and have and always will consider him to be the greatest Jujutsuka to walk the planet.
Jan De Jong Soke was a true 'Master' of Jujutsu and a truly great man.
My condolensces to his family and students.
Best wishes
