In Honor of Great Grandmaster KJN Tony Thompson
1950 – 2025

A master of the art and of the heart.

A teacher whose presence was its own form of power.

KJN Tony Thompson moved through this world with purpose, humility, and deep honor. He didn’t just teach — he transformed. In his presence, students became warriors. In his silence, lessons were heard loudest.

His spirit lives on in every stance, every bow, every heartbeat of our West Coast family. Gone from our sight, but never from our path.

Rest well, GGM KJN Tony.

We walk forward with your spirit at our side.

“WCWMA Association Family,

With deep sorrow and compassion, I share the heartbreaking news that my martial arts soul brother, Great Grand Master Tony Thompson, passed away last night, July 24, at 10:15 PM.

He has been suffering and is now resting in peace.

GGM Tony was more than a martial artist, he was a warrior of the highest spirit, a leader, a brother, a loving father and a light for our WCWMA Association family.

GGM Tony and I have been connected as ONE, for over five decades, 57 years, side by side, sharing our sweat, blood and tears.

We forged a path of discipline, love, and purpose that shaped thousands of lives across generations.

In the Buddhist tradition, they believe that the spirit continues beyond the body like a flame passed from candle to candle, never extinguished.

And in the Christian faith, they hold that GGM Tony now rests in eternal peace, embraced by God’s grace. GGM Tony and I have respected both faiths.

His body may be gone, but his soul lives on in each of us who carry his teachings, his spirit, and his love.

Let us honor his legacy by continuing to walk the WCWMA Black Belt and Mastery System that we created, with humility, compassion, and strength.

Please keep his family in your prayers and hearts during this sacred time.

With love, respect, and Eternal Gratitude,

GGM KJN Ernie Reyes
On behalf of the WCWMA Association Family
POM – Pursuit of Mastery POM – Peace of Mind!”
