The annual summer gathering of masters and students known as Karate College celebrated its 30th anniversary with something old, something new and its usual cavalcade of more martial artists than you can shake a stick at — although with bunches of kali and kung fu stylists in the house, you can bet there were no small number of sticks being shaken.
Voted “Best Martial Arts Training Camp” by the readers of this magazine, Karate College is the brainchild of Black Belt Hall of Famer Dr. Jerry Beasley, head of the Radford University martial arts program. Beasley organized his first event on the campus of Radford University in Radford, Virginia, back in 1988. It featured the talents of Joe Lewis, Bill Wallace and Jeff Smith, all of whom were world champions in full-contact karate and/or kickboxing.
