Morugan Swami (15 October 1965 - 9 May 2020) passed away unexpectedly on Saturday 9 May 2020.

Morugan was a father who sadly leaves behind a son and two daughters -- Akira, Greta and Estella.  He loved them all dearly and spoke of them with great pride.  

For those who know him, Morugan was a unique man with a strong, formidable character but he was also unsparingly kind and generous, to not only those who he knew but also to complete strangers.  

As an eminent Karate instructor and martial artist, Morugan touched many lives in our community.  For 30 years, he has been the instructor, or "sensei" as his students know him, at the Mushidokai Karate school on London Road, Croydon.  Before moving to the UK in the late 1980s, he also ran the Karate school at the YMCA in New Delhi, India.   For several decades he has been sharing his knowledge and helping others in their own personal development.  

He will be remembered fondly by his family, friends and students.

If you are in a position to support, we would be grateful for any donation that will help his family at this difficult time.
