Rest In Peace Shihan Angel Muniz

I received this email the other day. While Shihan Muniz was based in New Jersey, and we don't list schools in New Jersey (mainly due to time constraints), there are a lot of interconnections between all the martial artists in the tri-state area. Best wishes to Shihan Muniz and his school...

This touching tribute is from Sifu Ruben Torres of Kido-Ryu Martial Arts Center in Brooklyn.

To the artists out there who knew Shihan Angel "The Tiger" Muniz - World Kickboxing Champion - of Muniz SHOTOKAN KARATE & KICKBOXING ACADEMY

This afternoon 4/29/09 Angel passed away from a case of cancer. I visited him last month at the East Brunswick Hospital in New Jersey. I was fortunate enough to catch a ride with Professor Lou Ferrer and his Black Belts from the USA Kodokan in Brooklyn, New York. It would be the last time my daughter and I would see him. We had last taken photos with him at the 2007 World Karate Union Hall of Fame Banquet where he received Induction for "Outstanding Contributions to the Martial Arts" at the Le Chateau Resort & Hotel in Mt. Poconos, Pa. I think he was celebrating his 7th World Championship Title? I am going to miss him. He was a great champion, and excellent artist, a husband, a father, a teacher, a mentor, and a wonderful friend.
