Shihan Carlos S. Velez II Picture. In memorium of our dear friend Shihan Carlos S. Velez II (SUSO) He left this world all too soon, he will be missed. Much has been written, and much has been said, About The Martial Arts. We have all met or known of individuals who have described the benefits derived from martial arts training. As well, it has provided many with more than a foundation for life or a livelihood. Some have become wealthy, found fame and fortune. Still there are those who are in it for the pure love of the art and have devoted their lives to furthering their development. Think about this: who among the many who have been written about can you identify as one who has given back to the martial arts in ways not measured by the dollar or with the advancement of rank? Yes, indeed there are some. One such individual is known, by many to have quietly, for the past 25 years plus, made his mark, dug his niche, and developed many relationships with grandmasters and organizations worldwide. He has been instrumental in helping to build bridges between various organizations and martial artists, that because of one reason or another, could not connect. Shihan Carlos S. Velez II knows how important those connections can be. Realizing that if paths do not cross circumstantially why not be in a position to effect a change? Why not be the person to bring parties together? This is why many throughout the world have recognized his efforts. Many martial arts organizations and individuals seek him specifically because of his extensive base of relationships, and his knowledge from years of experience as an artist, and as a journalistand as a human being. "OSU NO SEISHIN"!!
