USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame
I attended an awards banquet at the Crowne Plaza in Los Angeles on Saturday, covering the event for Black Belt Magazine. Along with the other nominees, Frank Dux received a special award from the Hall of Heroes. It was a very moving awards banquet, with luminaries such as Bill "Superfoot" Wallace in attendance. You will be able to read my full report in a coming issue of Black Belt Magazine.
