The Poomi Jensen Memorial Scholarship
| The Okinawan Karate Do at the University of California , San Diego (UCSD) has established the Poomi Jensen Memorial Scholarship. The purpose of the scholarship is to support full-time UCSD student athletes who demonstrate the virtues of kindness, courage, perseverance, and spirit as Poomi displayed in his own life. |
| The Poomi Jensen scholarship was established to honor the 21-year old black belt Poomi Jensen who perished in the 2004 South Asian tsunamis. The Thai prince began training at the age of six. Full of energy and with a generous heart, he inspired everyone around him. He trained very hard and exemplified the spirit of karate. |
| A special thanks to Sony USA for their generous donations to our scholarship recipients. |
