"Ivan, To this day, I still cannot believe my brother, cousin, tio, friend, Sensei is no longer here. When I spoke about you last Friday, there were moments where I froze and wanted to walk off stage. However, I heard your voice within my head, telling me to not be afraid! There have been many moments in my life where I have been scared, afraid, or regretted to make decisions which would have helped me in the long run. Since we reunited years ago, you have helped me see the kind of person I can be when I put my heart and soul into something. You were the only person who told me not to be scared and enjoy my trip to Russia during the 2018 World Cup championship weekend! You insisted I go in there with an open mind. Because of you, I had the time of my life! That trip had me filled with emotions and it was because of you! My condolences go out to the Carrasco-Cuadros family! I promise to deliver Ivan?s story for years to come. The next generation and beyond will know The ?97 International Black Belt Hall of Famer, Risk-Taker, Combat Fighter, Soul Survivor and the Legend of Sensei Ivan! -Xie Xie Laoshi (Thank You Sensei) -Joshua ?Hakimoto Hokkaido? Carrasco"
