Classmate Fred Christian was honored today as 8th Dan and highest ranking American in the World Matsubayashi-Ryu Karate-Do Association.  And he is celebrating his 50th karate anniversary.
I will not pretend to know what I’m talking about here – karate-do is not something I am familiar with. But I can certainly relate to a 50-year celebration – and that is AWESOME!
Congratulations Fred, your dedication to the sport is astounding!
