GREAT DAY FOR NORTH KNOX AND THE PETE MILLS KARATE SYSTEMS AT KELLY'S HERO'S TOURNAMENT IN ROGERSVILLE.
WITH SEVERAL OF OUR TOP COMPETITORS NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE THE TRIP NORTH KNOX WAS STILL ABLE TO TAKE A TEAM OF 6 COMPETITORS
ALONG WITH FELLOW PETE MILLS KARATE SYSTEMS TEAMATE BIG JIM PHILLIPS. EVERYONE BUT OUR 7YR OLD BROUGHT HOME HARDWARE AND HE
LOOKED VERY GOOD IN WINNING HIS 1ST FIGHT AND LOSING TO THE EVENTUAL 1ST PLACE WINNER.
I'M SAD TO ANNOUNCE THE PASSING 12/10/09 OF MY GOOD FRIEND AND FORMER INSTRUCTOR HANSHI
RIDGLEY ABEL. MASTER ABEL WAS ONE OF THE LEADING FORCES OF SHURI-TE KARATE. HANSHI ABEL YOU WILL BE MISSED BY ALL.
WE DRAW OUR STRENGTH FROM OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. WITHOUT CHRIST IN OUR LIVES WE WOULD
NOT BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS AND DREAMS AS IT'S THROUGH HIM THAT WE ALL ARE MADE WHOLE. (Please visit our ministry page
as it's the most important page on this site)
