Vale Kim Hanley Sensei

StartFragmentKim Hanley Sensei - August 31st, 1957 ~ July 15th, 1994 My Jujutsu Instructor Sadly Kim passed away on 15th July 1994, at that time Kim was ranked Godan, Kuatsu Senmonka in Hyou-ha Bankoku Jujutsu. Photo would be from his time with the NT Police. Kim was one of what seemed like a sea of young kids that created havoc at the old Darwin PCYC junior judo club. As he got older he began training in jujutsu as well and excelled at it.... After Cyclone Tracey Kim completed his matriculation studies at the Darwin High School on Bullocky Point then moved to Townsville where he completed studies in accountancy at James Cook University. Kim's love of jujutsu was proven to all when he joined John Collet Shihan in dodging golf balls under the trees along Gardens Road to get in a little extra training in while on breaks from university. On returning to Darwin Kim worked for a time as an accountant before joining the Northern Territory Police Force. Kim was married with two childern. At the time of his passing Kim held a modern Godan or fifth degree black belt grading as well as a traditional Kuatsu Senmonka or Kuatsu Specialist menkyo. I commenced training with Sensei Hanley in the Dojo at RAAF Base Darwin then later at his house in the suburb of Wulagi. He closed the school when he joined the NT Police.EndFragment
