Bill Wallace and Pat Burleson

After the Bill Wallace seminar a few of us were invited to dinner. While at dinner, Ft. Worth TKD/Karate legend Grandmaster Pat Burleson stopped by, and several of us got to meet and talk with him.

Dale with his Title Belt

Dale Lusby - 2005 TKO State Champ

Mann's Martial Arts student "Dale Lusby", still a white belt, with no previous martial arts experience, and who only spent 3 months of training at our school, enters as a "wildcard" contestant and wins the year-end 2005 Texas Karate Organization State Championship title for "Beginning Men" in sparring. This was Dale's 1st tournament !!!

In an exhibition match afterwards, Dale unintentionally Knocks Out a yellow belt opponent with his front leg roundhouse kick!

You can see a couple of other pics of Dale in-action...and about 5 feet off the ground over at http://ntfa-dallas.home.att.net/dale.htm

Testing Pics

There were many pictures taken during January 18th's testing, the schools first testing. For now, we'll just show the group one taken after the test, with the Testing Judges (Grandmaster Keith Yates, Mr. Clayton Watkins, myself) and the Testing Students.
