Breaking Ground for Joe's Dojo
Sensei Joseph Nelson
On Tuesday morning August 9th 2011, Sensei Joe Nelson passed away. Although he has battled leukemia this past few years, he has been a cheerful and courageous soul in our midst. We are truly blessed and grateful to have had such a man as a friend and teacher.
A memorial was held on September 30th 2011 at the Faculty Club - University of Alberta, Edmonton. The gathering was attended by many of Joe's family, friends, colleagues and many current and past members of the AKF. A true tribute to his time spent on this earth amongst us...

Sensei Rempel's Message - Joe's Dojo - In honor of Sensei Joe Nelson
This fall, "Joe's Dojo" will be constructed in our backyard. Sue came up with the name, and we began the project as a living legacy of Joe. After taking five tons of earth out of a raised garden in the back we will install the posting and a floating hardwood floor. Over the top will be a detachable shade sail, large enough to cover the floor. The floor itself will have a tarp cover for the heat and the odd tropical storm...Read complete message
