One pic of our yearly police week demo years ago south of San Francisco from the 1990's

at Tanforan mall formally Tanforan Assembly Center

During WWII he Tanforan Assembly Center was created to temporarily detain nearly 8,000 Japanese Americans, mostly from the San Francisco Bay Area,

The stage at the mall was on the ground floor in the center under the circular walkway on the 2nd level. The raised portable stage was a very efficient mat area for the loud bang sounds of the falls or the participants. The next group of Tae Kwon Do students watching our exuberant demo turned and walked away without doing their demo. A spectator said those falls will not work without a mat watched me do a straight over on the concrete in front of him. He walked away without comment. Please send me any pics you have of these events. Bobasan

Professor Steve McLaughlin words so true our heart is broken too.

My very good friend of the last 43 years has passed away.
Burkhard Bohm, was a cultured, educated, intelligent, and meaningful person. An excellent father with accomplished and wonderful children, a husband to an amazing wife Debi Laport whose support cannot be appreciated by us enough. A couple others should emulate.

...Bogi, studied jujitsu as if his life depended on it. Learning all of DanZan Ryu jujitsu to it's philosophical and martial depths. His dojo The Feather River Kodenkan established in 1998 was one of well known repute with excellent students.

As a Professor of DanZan Ryu Jujitsu, his sound advice, alternate points of view were always invaluable.
We could always trust what Bogi said and felt.

...His GeoHydrology business was helpful to the planet and the people. His hand-built home was just an example of the paradise he created for his family.

My deepest feelings of sympathy and support go to his wife Debi and their children.

...We could only hope to live a life as good as his.
....my heart is broken.
