Ken is one of my oldest dojobros, and by that I don't mean he is old (he's actually about four years younger than I am), I mean that he has been my bro the longest. He's stood next to me since I began Karate, and then he started training Jiu-Jitsu shortly before I did. He's also a brown belt in Judo, which means that he is a true mixed martial artist!
I would like to think that Ken's victory had a little something to do with all of the sweat I've shared with him for the past eight years (some days in Karate class we were the only students there!) but he did this all on his own. He trains really hard, and even though he's a little older than most people when they make their MMA debut, his dedication paid off. David Danger cornered him for the fight, unfortunately I don't think many other people we know were there to see him win (because he didn't give us enough notice beforehand!), but we are all very proud of him. Way to go, Ken!
Since I don't have a video of his MMA fight, here's one of Ken winning a Judo tournament by armbar a few years ago.
