Photo Gallery          "Giving Back." This is a term that has echoed throughout time and space. A term not to be      taken lightly, "giving back" shows the true character of an individual. Granted, stardom, the top      ranked competitor and top martial arts industry professionals have demonstrated their ability      to be recognized, but it is the character that makes up the individual more than anything else.           Over these last 40 years I've gotten to know so many people on a very personal level. Oh      yes, "giving back" seems to be words that many have uttered, but it is that small amount,      that person who doesn't have their name in lights, that person who isn't known for their financial      success and that person who doesn't even ask for recognition that continues to not only      amaze me, but impress me.           The following is a cluster of pictures taken from many of our past events over the last 10      years. Though it is filled with notable icons, it is also filled with those who have given more      of themselves to help the museum become a reality. It is people who have given their time      and their finances. It is a group of people I am honored to call my friends and people who      really mean it when they say they "give back to the arts."            So, please enjoy real pioneers of the martial arts. MM
