In Memoriam - Ralph Kopperson

The aikido community of BC and across Canada are saddened by the loss of a long-time member and devoted student of Aikido, Ralph Kopperson, 4th dan. Ralph was integral to Victoria Aikikai from early on, teaching for many years and serving as a BC shidoin.

His exuberant spirit and love of all things Aikido will live on in many of us.
