WELCOME TO THE HALL OF FAME PAGE

 This page currently offers two prestigious Hall of Fame listings that are recognized by the National Sport Karate Museum and its website and are listed below.   They are:  


United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame

and London International Hall of Fame



United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame

"Welcome to the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame."


We take great pride in making this the most prestigious martial arts event each and every year. Won’t you join us this year to acknowledge not just the "famous" martial artists, but those that work hard to make a difference in the arts. See for yourself why each year hundreds of people travel across the country to take part in our celebration of the martial arts."  (John Terry, President/CEO)
​
The mission of the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame is to recognize those martial artists that have made a profound difference. Unlike other Hall of Fame events that have followed us, we do not limit our inductees to celebrities and movie stars. Our goal is to serve the fundamental martial arts community. We honor all people that dedicate themselves to excellence; both the well-known as well as the hidden treasures that never see the limelight. 

The National Sport Karate Museum and its website proudly endorse the United States Hall of Fame and its works. To learn more about the Hall of Fame, its members, and coming events please click the button to the right to go directly to their website.

London International Hall of Fame Banquet and Seminars

Welcome to the London International Hall of Fame Banquet and Seminars

The London International Martial Arts Hall of Fame was established by Grandmaster Gary Wasniewski in 2005, making it the oldest martial arts Hall of Fame in Europe. The yearly event features a Hall of Fame Banquet and numerous seminars and consistently is a sold-out event drawing an international crowd for the festivities. All of that and the proceeds go to Cancer Research! You may contact GM Gary Wasniewski, Founder/CEO, concerning the Hall of Fame and all its benefits by clicking on the button to the right.

London Hall of Fame

   

Bob was born Robert Alan Wall on August 22, 1939, in San Jose, California, to Ray Wall, a construction worker and Reva (Wingo) Wall, a nurse. Wall studied Okinawan Martial Arts under Gordon Doversola. In 1966, he, along with karate champion Jore Lewis, opened the Sherman Oaks Karate Studio in Sherman Oaks, California. In 1968, Lewis sold his share of the studio to Chuck Norris. Robert Wall featured in a number of films, most notably three appearances with Bruce Lee: the 1972 film The Way of the Dragon, as O'Hara in Enter the Dragon   in 1973,[2] and Game of Death (although he only appeared with Bruce’s stunt double), Bruce Lee's incomplete film re-cut in 1978. He has small roles in Norris films, such as Code of Honor (1985), Firewajker (1986), and Hero and the Terror (1988). For more information about Bob and his roll of O’Hara in Enter the Dragon visit the 50th Anniversary entry proceeding the one you are currently viewing.

Bob was promoted to 9th degree black belt under Chuck Norris and the co-founder and CEO of a martial arts organization known as World Black Belt Inc.  In 1975, Wall authored the book Who’s Who in the Martial Arts and the Directory of Black Belts (Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 75-2280), the first book of its kind for martial artists.

He died in Los Angeles on January 30, 2022, at the age of 82.

Professor Gary Lee and the Sport Karate Museum are honored to be entrusted with this historic keepsake and will preserve it for the future generations.
