William Shelton was born in 1962 in Seoul, South Korea. He has trained in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Okniawan systems. He is a nationally known kata champion, winning grand championship titles across the United States in empty-handed traditional forms as well as weapons kata. His demonstrations of bo, sai, and kama have established him as one of the leading Okinawan Kobudo masters. But as OK magazine readers know, winning world titles in kata means you are also a master of fighting techniques because traditional forms teach you the best and most effective combat moves. Master Shelton holds an 8th degree black belt in American-style Karate and teaches in the Dallas–Ft. Worth area. He can be reached at: KingBstg1@aol.com.
