His All-American Open was one of the annual highlights of my childhood and teens. A truly kind and polite man.

78, and one day before the 47th All American Open.

Not sad at his passing. Just glad he was here. :asian:

He was a true pioneer in American martial arts and he will be sadly missed. Many blessings to his family and students.

I met him back around 1965-66 when he was traveling with the Wide World of Sports show. He seemed humble but very good. I saw him jump through the arms of several people to break a board. Impressive. But what really impressed me about him was his speed.

May God bless his family.

His book Korean Karate was pretty good, considering that it was written in the sixties. Not everything was relevant, but his sparring strategies were definitely on the right track, especially if you had little or no sparring instruction. Perhaps that is why it sold so many copies.
