Soke DePasquale Sr. (10th Dan) is one of the true
pioneers of martial arts in the United States having begun
his study of the martial arts in the 1940’s.  O'Sensei is a
model gentleman, prolific teacher and a great person.  
His son Ni Dai Soke DePasquale Jr. is following in his
fathers footsteps.  It was a great honor to train with the
DePasquales.
Professor Wally Jay, 10th Dan and
Grandmaster of Small Circle Jujitsu is a
dynamic innovator and a phenomenal
teacher.  Professor Jay enjoyed satisfying my
eager inquisitiveness.  I especially enjoyed
being his Uke.
Taking a break to pose for a photo with friend
Sheldon Marr.  Sensei Marr is a 40+ yr.
vetern of the martial arts and a stellar
jujitsuan.  He is also a Deputy Sheriff in
Denver Colorado and the Defensive Tactics
Officer for that Department.
It was a thrill to train with World Champions
Joe Lewis and "Superfoot" Bill Wallace.  I
especially hit it off with Superfoot, he is a
incredible scholar, a great athlete and a
hilarious comedian.  He was very generous
with his extensive knowledge human
physiology with me and I am so grateful.
Not only is Don "the Dragon" Wilson an
exciting movie star and the greatest kickboxer
of all time winning 11 World Titles in 3 weight
divisions but he is truly a down to earth nice
guy.  I had a great time hanging out with him.
Grandmaster John C. Kanzler, International Director
Eastern U.S.A. International Martial Arts Association
was the first internationally recognized Soke to
support me and give me recognition for my
dedication.  And it was he that inducted me into my
first International Martial Arts Hall Of Fame.  Thank
you Soke Kanzler!
Hanging out with my friend 2000 Ms. Olympia
