Frank J. Gorman

I am truly saddened by this news. As a former student of Frank Gorman, I will remember him fondly, with much respect.

I just heard about Frank last night. Omg i can't believe it. He was my sensei in Oldsmar Fla for more than 32 years, before i moved to Pensa Fla. Talked to him many times over the years on the phone about Karate and his life and mine. He always asked about my boys, Chris and Jude and how they were doing. They trained with Frank for many years starting at 11 years old and six years old. Master Frank was the best of the best...... He was also my good friend. R.I.P. My dear friend and sensei...

Frank left a permanent mark on everyone he guided. He was a great martial artist, and you could feel his energy reflecting that . Next to respect is love. Georgene Burrington Villanueva

To all members of the Master Frank Gorman family : He was a wonderful & very knowledgable Master& an inspiration to all my years in Martial Arts.My deepest sympathy to you all & may Frank rest in peace.

i know frank gorman i miss him from karate

I was not sure Karate was for me but Hanshi Gorman inspired me to give the next 54 years to the most wonderful art that changed my life forever!!!!!

A living legend. My condolences to family and friends. Although I never studied Uechi for any length of time, Frank Gorman was a true master in all the incredible ways that great Senseis and great masters are. He was gentle yet formidable, full of strength and indomitable in chi. I will always remember his first demonstration to me as a teenager and being hit in the arm, and then feeling it all the way down my leg. Wow, I thought, now that is some power, and of course the thing was how...

Studying karate under Frank during college gave me physical confidence that I still carry decades later. He was funny, kind, and an amazingly intuitive teacher who could teach more in one small adjustment in your form than by telling you in words. Grateful as many others are for the mark he made in my life. Condolences to the family. Lisa Louis

Frank played an important role in my son´s life. Frank shared amazing stories with my son, Azher that left an everlasting impression on him. Frank will be missed dearly. May His Soul Rest In Peace!
