Hugh Hastings Tribute Page

Hugh Hastings was the founder of our club back in 1968, and was our chief instructor until his
death in December 2025. Over the years his guidance and instruction has taken many of us
to levels of understanding of Shotokai karate that we never thought were possible.

He will be sorely missed by all of us.
