RIP George Towndrow a message from Kelvin Alleyne 9th Shakei

October 26, 2016

In the last week, we  lost special friend and Kizuna brother George Towndrow. For those who did not know him George was a student of Sensei Terry O’Neil, great friend of Gm Colwell and one of the best photographers in this business. Most of his photos are were in fighting arts magazine.

He was a top martial artist, a loyal friend and was treated by my parents as one of the family. George was bubbly, infectious and loyal to the point. If you needed him he would be there no matter always giving advice where required. He had a special affinity with GM Colwell and they used to talk for hours losing themselves in many subjects. These sessions, no doubt, would have  made excellent reading!

George my friend- my brother, it was a privilege to be your friend and I can say all who knew you would say the same.

I and all Kizuna will never forget you brother – may god take care of you on your next journey.

Kelvin and all brothers of Kizuna.
