Life In Session: The Senior Master Bob White Story is written by Bob White with Tom Bleeker. The book tells the story of Senior Master Bob White who was a formidable competitor in the top karate tournaments for two decades in the United States. And yet, Bob White’s biggest battles weren’t against his fellow karate fighters, but instead against the disease of alcoholism and, late in life, two of the deadliest forms of cancer.
Pitted against these fearsome adversaries that were out to kill him, Bob White drew on the one weapon he knew could defeat both – the love and power of Jesus Christ.

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”
I first met Mr. White in the days of Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, and Billy Jack. Everybody was literally Kung fu fighting. One day, I was lying on the mat at the karate studio stretching when Mr. White walked over to the television and said “I’ve got something to show you.” He plugged in a VHS tape for the Royal Families Kids, which I watched. From that day forward, we shared a bond in helping abused children go to camp. It was the best decision I’ve ever made, and I thank Mr. White for the many life lessons he has guided me through

Personal health is a matter of attitude. Bringing optimism and positive expectations to health, and especially to health recovery, is essential in the fight against malignant disease. For a man who is accustomed to the pursuit and development of elite physical awareness and stature, the solution for his cancer became the act of shifting this same awareness and focus that he has brought to his martial arts practice to this new health problem. Conquering cancer is no small feat and cannot be done without a determined will and an unflagging pursuit toward a healthy outcome. Bob White has spent his life developing these same character traits for a martial arts practice that are now put to new purpose. It is testimony to his nature and training that he today is disease free and likely cured, and he stands as an example to all of us.

Bob White’s journey is a true inspirational tale. Fighting through cancer is a tough ordeal both physically and mentally for anyone. But fighting through two different cancers simultaneously is on a higher level in terms of the perseverance and strength needed to endure through the rigors of treatment. As a cancer doctor, I see the obstacles that my patients fight through on a daily basis, and it brings a sense of despondency at times. But then, when you witness Bob’s White’s journey, I’m in awe at what the human body and soul can accomplish. His success should be a reminder to anyone facing long and impossible odds that the finish line can be crossed.
