2012 Masters Hall of Fame Awards

Gordon Richiusa, Ed Parker Jr. and Frank Dux pose for pictures after the Masters Hall of Fame Award Presentations, which took place last night. This year's event was entertaining and well organized. Gordon and Ed Parker Jr. are wearing their Alumni medals. Frank Dux was inducted for his Lifetime Achievements along with a variety of others, including Cynthia Rothrock. The entertainment consisted, in part of a kyudo demonstration (there is one here on this blog, from Kyoto Japan). This Japanese Zen form of archery is unique and beautiful and will be covered soon in our Legends and Legacies column, at WorldWideDojo.com. Stay tuned.
