Sensei Edward Erler Jr.

I trained with Sensei Ed around 1972, when I was stationed at Kirtland A.F.B. He was a fine instructor, always patient and kind and willing to go the extra mile for his students. He allowed me to train young students at his second studio, can't recall the address but it was up in the Heights, not the Louisiana St. location. He had hoped that I might stay in Albuquerque and work full-time for him as a junior instructor. I was greatly pleased by his faith in me, but I wanted to move back to...

Sensei Erler, words can not express my gratitude for introducing me to strategy. You could of led me to any book in your store showing me techniques that would defend me, instead you introduced me to Sun Tzu, and Mushashi. I have and continue to study them and their to this day Sensei Erler. Thank you from a kid that you know, that you educated, and guided. You're in a better place, and I will see Sensei when it is my time to join you.

Sensei Erler. Just heard of your passing. You we're my instructor back in the early 70's, you were an inspiration in my life. I reached a brown belt. You taught me respect and discipline. Rest in peace sensei. Domo arigato

May YaHWeH Shalom be with the family. Sensei Ed was always a great respectable person that would always welcome myself and my cousins and supplied our MA needs. He was a pillar in the community and may his teachings continue with his Son David and students! ¡Viva!

Rest in peace, Erler Sensei. Thank you for everything you taught me, for your example and friendship. God Bless you.
