Martial Arts History Museum

Will our History be Forgotten? This is a question that has come to the forefront of martial artists throughout the country and it is something of great concern. Will we be forgotten? In the 70s, Joe Lewis brought us full-contact karate. In the 60s, Ark Y. Wong was one of the first Chinese kung fu teachers to begin teaching kung fu to non-Chinese. In the 40s and 50s, the art of judo dominated America. In the 70s a young man named Eric Lee changed the tournaments forever by opening the doors of forms competition for kung fu competitors. In the 60s and 70s, Gene LeBell astounded the world as he brought judo into American Wrestling. Robert Trias who opened the first karate school in America and it was Ed Parker that spread karate throughout the country. It was Karen Sheperd who traveled across the country alone and made an impact that everyone felt. It was Benny Urquidez who was considered the greatest full contact fighter of all time and his sister Lily who changed women fighting forever. Some of these facts many of you know, but some of these facts you probably never heard of.
