World SoKarate Federation

Happy Birthday to my dear student and friend, Denis Mazur!

Today, I want to congratulate someone who has been by my side for nearly 20 years. Denis is not only one of my most dedicated and accomplished students, but also someone I have always considered almost like a son.

Watching your journey, your growth, your loyalty, and your unwavering commitment to the path of Budo has been one of the greatest privileges of my life as a teacher. Your character, discipline, and perseverance have earned my deepest respect.

A teacher can have many students in a lifetime, but only a few become family. You are one of them.

On behalf of myself and the World SoKarate Federation (WSF SoKarate), I wish you excellent health, happiness, success in everything you do, and many more victories—both on and off the tatami.

May you always stay strong in spirit, true to your principles, and continue inspiring everyone around you.

Thank you for your loyalty, your friendship, and for being such an important part of our SoKarate family.

Happy Birthday, Denis!

With great respect and affection,

Hanshi Andrew Rekunoff
Founder & President
