Father of American Judo to Teach Weekend Seminar in Frederick, Maryland
Phillip Porter, 81 year old Martial Arts expert and 10th degree Black Belt in Judo, will lead a weekend seminar at the Bushikai Bugei Dojo in Frederick, Maryland. October 8th and 9th, O-Sensei Porter will show the students at Bushikai Martial Arts why he is called the father of American Judo.
Frederick, MD, August 15, 2005 --(PR.com)-- On October 8th and 9th, 2005, the Bushikai Bugei Dojo (located at 1209-H N. East Street, Frederick, Maryland, 21701) will host a weekend seminar with the man known as the father of American Judo.
Phillip S. Porter began his Martial Arts Career in Boxing in 1943 at age 18. He was later a member of the West Point Boxing Team, and in 1950, Light Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the Western Area of the Air Training Command, USAF. He started Judo, JuJitsu, and Karate training in 1951 at Travis Air Force Base, California under Sensei Walter Todd. O-Sensei Porter graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1948, and served in the U.S. Air Force for 20 years, retiring as a Major in 1967. His leadership ability brought him many high positions in the Martial Arts.
O-Sensei Porter is called the “The Father of American Judo” because he helped found the United States Judo Association in 1954 and personally built it into the largest Judo organization in America, and the largest non-profit Martial Arts organization in the country over a period of 41 years. Now, he is called O-Sensei because he is in charge of teaching and watching over the rank promotions of thousands of his Black Belt students throughout the country in nearly 1,000 clubs of the United States Martial Arts Association.
O-Sensei Porter will be teaching in Frederick, Maryland on October 8th and 9th, 2005, at the Bushikai Dojo. There will be two sessions each day. Training is $120 for both days (inclusive). Different topics will be covered at each session. Day-rates are also available.
