February 17, 2023 is my 50th ANNIVERSARY of being in the Martial Arts.
I started the odyssey that would change my life fifty years ago in a Ka-Ju Kenpo dojo in Santa Fe, NM, after seeing the movie BILLY JACK.
I personally won 7 Black Belt National Championships, 5 World Championships, the Karate World Grand Championship, 4 Coach of the Year Awards, my dojo won 26 1st Place World titles, over 100 1st Place National titles, I received commendations from 2 Mayors, 3 Governors, the city of Santa Fe, the state of New Mexico, the US Congress and the White House.
And here I am today, working out on my rooftop deck in Los Angeles 6 days a week with my beautiful wife and fellow Black Belt, Aileen Natalia.
Will be doing this until the day I die.
Yours in Bushido,
Shihan Kerry Li, 8th Dan
