IN MEMORY OF JAMES GIBSON
JULY 19, 1923- OCTOBER 1,2006

Grandmaster Gibson held a 9th Dan in Isshinryu and Shotokan karate, he also held a 5th Dan in Kodokan Judo, a 4th Dan in Korcan Judo also training in American Samo in 1942. His education brought him a B.S.from Seton Hall and a M.S. from Rutgers. He was a teacher of Judo, Goshinjitsu, Yudo, and Aikido, he was inducted into the World Karate Hall of Fame in 1998, and received an honorary 10th Dan in Isshinryu and American Combat Arts March 5, 2006. He is a great loss to the Martial Arts Community, to myself and all of my students. He will be missed by all who knew him.
