Grandmaster Wilson,
Good morning Willie,
I can't tell you what a smile to my face and joy to our hearts
it was for Kathy and me to receive your Christmas Card from
the Karate Five Association and your family. I truly loved the
picture of Bethlehem, and The Church of the Nativity.
(The true meaning of Christmas)
With our focus on this, we as brothers through Christ may all
come together in peace, joy and harmony. This I pray for each
day. There will always be those who doubt and do not follow
his word, but through Christ, all things are possible. This I
realize you already know.
To you and yours as well be blessed,....
With the glittering wish of Christmas and good cheer
with much, much happiness though the happiest New Year. :o)
Merry Christmas!!!!
Thanks again Willie, this made my day,.. Give our best to your
Family and the "5".
Sincerely Old friends,
Phil Little
Peace

Dear Master Mason:
Accolades continue, Sir, this time about you specifically!
Brad Lane, the student of Guro Brian Hubbard in Newport, NH, sat in my
dental chair at 5 a.m. today.
He spoke about the great time he had at Camp. He applauded the staff for
everything from the food to the environment. He said it was all conducive
to learning, best event he’d ever been to. He added, “I'm really glad that
Master Mason came to camp. He is so humble and yet so knowledgeable.”
He said that you contributed greatly to his enjoyment, Sir.
Well done, Master Mason!!!!!!!!!! Hope that makes your day as much as it made mine!
Yours,
Professor

My heart swells with pride as I see the tables heavy and laden with the
generosity of Foster Chapel , the Karate Five and the Oakland Community
in such a selfless gesture of community spirit for our children. What a
wonderful message to these children as you fed their bodies, entertained
their minds, addressed their needs and gave honor to our futur generation
in a tremendous act of goodwill. God bless.

WOW! This looks great. All of the community involvement articles were
outstanding. I really appreciate the opportunity to serve the community

Congratulations again for your World Karate Union Outstanding Achievements

his Godan Certificate for the World Karate Union Hall of Fame Instructor of the
Year 2007. What an statement of honor to the Karate Five and to Melbert Lee, Jr.,

honor to the instructors also of Karate Five. I enjoyed the pictures of the event

What a tremendous show of respect and honor for Karate Five. I am so proud of
Karate Five for the respect your organization has earned in the martial arts community.
Everyone, and I mean everyone, knows it is not about "money" and it is not about
"politics" because your organization has refused to compromise the values, the spirit
and the intent of Karate Five's original mission and that was to bring to its students,
the schools and its instructors a standard in the martial arts community that is a
beacon which shines through its students and leadership for over three decades.
God bless you for persevering through the early years and never getting discouraged
until you earned their respect in the spite of the odds.

Master Wilson and Karate Five
You have a number of people that visit your site and take note but no one hardly
ever signs your guest book or tells you how good it is to see a school take the time
to help those less fortunate and to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. The
website displays a lot of character. The Karate Five has come a long ways from
back in the day when things were bad because of one's skin color and today that
still exists, it's just more subtle. The Karate Five has stood the test of time and
Master Wilson has held the pieces together with passion, frustration, commitment,
diligence, persistance and some more persistance, I remember when I was part of
the Karate Five and what we went through during that period of time. Today they
have excelled beyond that period and are one of the most notable, recognized schools
around and I mean out of state too. Every rank that is given is earned. Rank is not
given out to get students to attend, and make a dollar, they truly have to work hard
for it, and when they finally receive their promotion, it is duly appreciated. The Karate
Five has opened another school in Morristown, TN under Master Mason. Isn't that
great!!!! Karate Five has stood the test of time, they have earned the respect that
they deserved for so many years ago. The Karate Five Dojo is an excellent school
and I have recommended them to many people. Some that attend for the first time
don't go back because they say it's too hard. Everything in life is hard you just have
to stay the course and be committed. I also congratulate the Karate Five Dojo for
receiving the Dojo of the year award, well deserved, well earned. An award that has
been long past due and overlooked.

HE, ALONG WITH A DOZEN OF THE DOJO MEMBERS, DISPLAYED

You both have a very positive presence in the Martial Arts World. It made me very proud to

The art we all love will carry on for generations to come, by the teachings you both share every week.

Karate Five, I would like to thank you by starting with Master Frederick Brabson and
Master William Mason for making an event and recognition so surprising and first class.
Sometimes it is hard to accept such an honor when you are the one that usually bestows
this on others. Yes, I was surprised and want to thank Sensei Daryl Cox, Sensei Jon
Whitehead, and Master Melbert Lee also for making this event and recognition possible.
I was so overwhelmed because I had been fooled and was overjoyed that I was receiving
such an award and that was presented to me in front of visiting peers; it cannot get any
better than this.
Thanks Karate Five for making the Grand Opening for the Morristown Dojo and recognition
of me, an event that surpasses one’s imagination beyond reality, heartfelt and speechless.

Congratulations on launching a wonderful website. It's great to be
