Jim Mather

Some of the best days of my life were spent working out at CKA in Milpitas. It was mentally and physically fulfilling. Our entire family participated. Thank you Kiyoshi! Our deep condolences to Mrs. Mather.

Thank you for all you taught us all, and how you personally gave us great tools for life. We miss you, condolences to Mrs. Mather and family.

Just googled his name passing by the old studio. Just saw his passing, this for teaching me respect, discipline, courage and strength. RIP.

Just came across this page. I would like to offer my deepest condolence for the passing of Sensei Mather. I was his student way back in the late 70's and I missed every unforgettable moment of the training received directly from him. Rest in Peace Sensei.

My condolences to his family. He taught me to not be afraid, to know I could take care of myself and how to honor myself and others.

Our sincere condolences to his family. CKA was a huge part of our family´s lives. Hanshi was a huge part of teaching my son control and discipline to make him the wonderful man he is today. Ron & Chris both achieved black belts under his training. He will be missed.

My sincere and heart felt condolences for your loss that you are experiencing. Hanshi was one of the greatest men I have ever known, I loved him dearly and he was responsible for changing and saving my life. I live my life today by many of the things he said and taught me and he will forever hold a place in my heart, my mind and my soul. I will never forget him and always remember what he taught and gave to me. He was truly a great man!

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
