In 2007 I met Kubota sensei at 13th World Cup in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I was my first time visiting the great Argentina for not only a tournament but exploring its culture (music-Tango, language and food) and tradition. I was at the pick of my ability to compete in both categories: kata (form-selection type Shitei & Okui) and kumite (sparing). I participated in the first day seminar under Soke Tak Kubota and took advantage of Knowing some of his famous students like Rod Kuratomi, Val Mijailovic, and Kancho Takemasa Okuyama. After many years from the time I met Soke Kubota, IKA has grown immensely and very often visited his dojo in Glendale, California. On many occasions, we have met and exchange conversations regarding extending the IKA in the Caribbean, particularly Haiti and Dominican Republic. However, there was not a successful attempt to find a representative due to the countries' political issues that affect the investigation. Again, civil unrest remained an issue that the west side of the island Hispagnola is still facing. It was very sad to hear the news from friends that sensei Kubota has passed from life to death on August 14, 2024. He is my legend and inspiration today. In the realm of sports and martial arts, Kubota’s passing may have several implications: Legacy: If Kubota was a prominent figure in the world of sports or martial arts, his legacy will continue to inspire future generations. His accomplishments, teachings, techniques, and contributions to the field can serve as an enduring influence on athletes and practitioners. Commemoration: The sporting community might organize events or ceremonies to honor Kubota’s memory. This could include tournaments dedicated in his name or awards established in recognition of his achievements. Succession Planning: If Kubota had disciples or students who were training under him for their athletic development or learning martial arts skills from him directly, there would be considerations regarding how they carry forward with their training after his passing. Regarding “afterlife,” it is important to note that discussions about life after death often fall within religious beliefs and personal philosophies rather than scientific knowledge-based explanations. Different cultures hold diverse perspectives on what happens after death based on various spiritual traditions such as reincarnation (Hinduism/Buddhism), heaven/hell concepts (Christianity/Islam/Judaism), ancestral spirits (African/Indigenous religions) among others. It is essential for individuals seeking answers related to these matters consult relevant sources like religious texts/scriptures if applicable while respecting different belief systems held by people around them. It was great having him to teach me some of his wisdom and knowledge about martial arts, including his philosophy.
