Sport Karate History Generals are martial artists who have a “sport history” in the martial arts. History General’s are men and women who are a part of the history of sports martial arts.
Sport Karate History Generals have been warrior’s of sport karate and have coached, performed kata and breaking, competed with weapons, and most importantly, they have fought in the ring, paving the way for the tournament competitors and MMA fighters of today.
There is only one History General in this group who is there out of respect, rather than as a competitor. This individual,” says one of my Instructors, Hanshi Sid Campbell, “had vision and he had heart”.
Ken Knudson, Ed Daniel, Jim Harrison, Allen Steen and so many others created the Sport Karate History Generals so they could share the history of sports martial arts, and also to protect the Sport Karate Museum from those who want a place, without earning that place, in sport martial arts.
There will always be those who will give themselves rank and tell tall tales, and this makes it much more important for those who made history to protect that history and it makes it very important that individuals are aware that with the Sport Karate Museum individuals support the men and women who made history and who you will find as honored in the Sport Karate Museum and as Sport Karate History Generals. Hug a sport karate legend today!
