In memoriam

Shihan Jan Meindert Norder

It is with deep sadness that we have to announce that Shihan Jan Meindert Norder has passed away aged 78. After a courageous 24-year battle against his illness, Shihan let go of the fight last Thursday 12 September 2024 surrounded by loved ones.

Shihan Jan passionately taught Kyokushinkai karate to the youth at Budokai Zuidlaren and the early years of Fight Game Academy. With his orthodox and unique teaching methods, he managed to win the hearts of all karatekas. During his illness, he continued to train and determined to return to the dojo to continue his teaching. His "Never Give Up" mentality was an inspiration to many. Even doctors were amazed by his resilience and determination.

With the loss of Shihan Jan, the world loses a true fighter and a great man. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. A piece of Groningen kyokushin karate history has passed away from us.

Osu! Rest in peace, Shihan.
