Attention everyone: Please put these martial artists and their families in your prayers. Our deepest sympathies are with these families and their loved ones. This section is only for martial artists. Though we sympathize with any loved one who have passed, this area is for the martial arts practitioners who have passed on. Please, if you know of or have heard of any martial artist who has passed, please contact us out of respect and the possibility of donations for their families. Please help us to keep this updated. Many have had to deal with the costs and hardships of the loss of a loved one. The Alliance would like to offer our deepest sympathy and hopefully others will offer their token of assistance towards the families in those difficult times. ~Thank You~
