Episode 101. Isshinryu in Alabama & the Karate Hall of Fame
The conversation
About Mark Rudd.
Mark Rudd sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 101, “Isshinryu in Alabama & the Karate Hall of Fame”.
Sensei Mark lives in the deep southern part of Alabama, about 20 miles from the Florida line. He is originally from Louisiana and moved there in 1994.
He earned his black belt back in 1990. Every June his dojo hosts the South Alabama Karate Open, which reached its 26th year, and many out-of-state competitors turn it into a beach vacation.
Nick has watched Mark's students and his son compete for years, and he talks about the professionalism of his dojo and their time at the Isshinryu Hall of Fame.
