Hanshi Steve Arneil held many roles in his lifetime: teacher, coach, mentor, founder, husband, father and grandfather. Five years on from his passing, we remember the impact that his life had on our own.
Last night, students new and old gathered at his dojo to celebrate two roles he continues to play: Example, and magnet.
His example continues to be followed in his dojo and around the world.
His magnetism is evident in his ability, even today, to bring together people from different backgrounds, countries and communities to follow Kyokushin Karate. Within our dojo, his magnetism was evident last night, pulling back old students, and continues to bring in new students to follow his path. Osu
