To me Brad was a strong physical, mental and knowledgeable human being, one that I was privileged to meet and will never forget.
He has been my mentor and idol for 45 years and Iam now 68 .
I was fortunate to have fulfilled my dreams by training under him in Seattle for 2 weeks in 2014, in his self defence system of American Combato, meeting and loving Brad and his wonderful students.
I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honourable, and to be compassionate. It is after all, to matter: to have made some difference that you lived at all.
Brad Steiner has passed with honours in all of the above qualities, I will miss his emails and talks on the phone , as well as reading his magnificent and true to life articles and books which are of many.
Iam sad , but Iam also happy and privileged to have met and trained under a man such as Bradley Steiner, who even after his death he keeps me knowledgeable and self-defence ready.
Brad once said to me “David the only thing you have to worry about is dying ,and when you are dead you don’t worry”
Rest in peace my mentor and friend Bradley J Steiner, I will miss and never forget you.
Yours Sincerely David Sedunary Student and friend Australia
