I had the distinct privilege
as the heir to
 "Combat Karate"
as my Sensei Johnny Kuhl
dictated before he left us,
of accepting for him, the

"Budo Spirit Award"
Given in recognition for his life time
of dedication and inspiration
in the martial arts.
Thank you Michael DePasquale for that honor.

The "Samurai Award"
of the International Federation Of Ju Jitusuans
was presented to me 
in recognition of my
accomplishments in the arts
