Sanchez Before we begin, we would like to announce as always, the trials & tribulations of our members as well as those loved ones who have passed away recently…… Another icon has died in the martial arts just before the New Year as reported to me by our member in Argentina, Hanshi Gerardo Cantore…Love him or hate him, he was an iconic figure in both Kyokushin Karate & Judo. A man without a “filter”, there was no getting around his telling you what he thought. As Shihan Ingo Frier who was a student of his from Germany said in a written eulogy about GM Jon Bluming, he was once praised by the late Founder of Kyokushin, Sosai Mas Oyama with the words “who defeats Jon Bluming in battle should get my Black Belt!”. That’s how iconic a fighter Bluming was. He passed away in the Netherlands on December 17th at the age of 85……In Canada, GM Serge Baubil’s Father in France passed on in mid November at the age of 88 (no pic available)….& GM Rene Latosa from California’s sister, Corazon also passed in November (no pic available). Our condolences and prayers over the loss of these loved ones. May they Rest In Peace in the arms of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.

  • Grandmaster Kyu Ha Kim Stands Where He Has Stood for Over Fifty Years, in Front of a Group of Students Patiently Explaining the Subtleties of a Judo Technique
    Grandmaster Kyu Ha Kim: Life & Legacy by Christopher Moore, 2014 (updated in 2021) “My Family grew rice on our farm in Korea. When the rice plants were young, they grew straight and tall. As they grew older and became heavy with rice, their heads bowed.” Grandmaster Kyu Ha Kim, 10th Degree Black Belt I was born in Korea in 1935. I grew up in a small town near Daejeon. My first exposure to Judo came from my older brother. He showed me some techniques in the backyard. When I entered high school, I started to seriously train myself. Judo became my life. Through Judo I was able to go to college at the Yudo College which was later renamed Yong-In University. After I won the National Championships for the second time, I became well known throughout Korea. I had the honor of teaching many members of the US military including some officers. I was invited to tour the United States teaching Judo. After visiting the United States, I decided I wanted to stay here. It was through Judo I was able to do this. I settled in Pittsburgh, PA and opened my dojo. Today I have two dojos and also teach an accredited course at the University of Pittsburgh. I have had the honor of teaching thousands of people including several national champions and the current president of the USJA. I even coached the US Team. Judo is quite literally my life. It brought me to this country. It is how I make a living. It is how I raised my family.

  • 20 Movies 20 Years Ebook.Cdr
    20 MUST SEE MARTIAL ARTS MOVIES FROM THE LAST 20 YEARS THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING AND DOWNLOADING THIS FREE E-BOOK! EVERY SINGLE PERSON INVOLVED MAKES THE MARTIAL ARTS ACTION MOVIE WEBSITE POSSIBLE... ...AND LOTS OF FUN! BEFORE WE GET STUCK INTO IT. In the last 4 years, I have watched and reviewed close to 500 Martial Arts films. I’ve got to say it’s a bit of an addiction but a fun one, and it’s been shared with a lot of people through Social Media channels like Facebook and Twitter, and I’ve noticed a strong pattern in the movies people love to see these days. On top of that, we’re seeing movies being released that seem to be climbing the ladder in terms of quality. For a while, martial arts movies were heading in a different direction and focusing less on the pure abilities of the actor and relying heavily on wire work. While there’s nothing wrong with that, I can safely say that most people I’ve networked with over the last few years don’t enjoy the weightless “floating” look that most of these movies produced. So most of what I write about these days focuses on the power of the individual martial artist, relying on themselves more than wires. Combined with the totality of the film making process, I’ve done my best to find the absolute most entertaining, action packed and well balanced martial arts films of recent times. So I produced this little Ebook for anyone whose looking to become immersed in the most action packed, adrenaline charged fight films from the last 20 years.

On this occasion we have decided to republish excerpts from the very rst issue of our magazine. The governance of U.S. Judo started in 1952, through the eorts of Dr. Henry A. Stone, Major Donn Draeger (USMC), and others. At that time there was no national authority to give guidance to local judo communities and insure the logical and orderly development of judo as a sport. The Amateur Judo Association (AJA) was a rst attempt at establishing a national governing structure in conjunction with the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU).
