We are heartbroken to hear about the passing of Sensei Fumio Demura..
Fumio was known as “The Real Miyagi”. He was an inspiration for the character in Karate Kid, and even served as Pat Morita’s stunt double in the films. He was also well-versed in Japanese karate. In the 60’s, Fumio moved to America and became one of the first true teachers of Shito-Ryu karate and Okianawan kobudo. His legacy will continue to live on and inspire martial artists all over the world.
Rest in Peace, Fumio Demura.
