Obituary notice: Vitold Novakowski


With great sadness I'm delivering this message.

Vitold Novakowski, a great Kendoka from Poland, is no longer.
He passed away, far too young, far too early on the 11th of September this year.

Vitold Novakowski was one of the leading figures of Polish Kendo and its development. With great effort he tried to spread and popularize Kendo in his home country. This earned him a lot of acknowledgment and friends in the world of Kendo.

But for Tokyo Kyumeikan Dojo he was more. For more than 30 years he has been a dear friend and companion for Kubo Sensei.
He even paid a visit to Japan this year on the 2nd of April to congratulate Kubo Sensei to the 50th anniversary of Kyumeikan Dojo.

The whole Kyumeikan Dojo Family would like to express its deepest condolences to Vitold Novakowski's family and friends.

Rest in Peace

Sincerely,

Alex
