Description

Based on [link] by :iconstixman: in continuing with the "License of DOMINATION" series started here :pointr:[link]

Who we have here is Grandmaster George Wharton, one of the instructors of my master instructor - Anthony G. Price. Master Wharton took up the study of Karate :ninja: in 1966 at the Jefferson Ave. School of Mr. Burkes and Mr. Stanley and a year later came under the tutelage of Master Kyong Won Ahn and in 1968 earned his 1st Dan in the art of T'ang Soo Do. Like the license states, he is now a 10th degree Black Belt in the Korean Martial Art. Before Master Wharton took up the study of Asian Martial Arts he was an accomplished amateur boxer, having started at the age of 11 and over the next 12 years winning several AAU Championships ... including Nationals :trophy: :winner:.

I remember when I first met Grandmaster Wharton; Master Price introduced me to him saying ... "Mr. Mackey, I want you to meet Master George Wharton. He was one of my instructors." Talk about being at a loss fer words, how do you make small talk with someone to whom YOU call master calls "master" :confused: So I just bowed :bow: shook his hand :handshake: and said "Pleased to meet you Master Wharton, You trained Master Price very well."

Note, I only had a black n' white picture of Master Wharton. I will replace with a full colour one later if The Master wants it.
