AMA Hall of Fame -
Surfer's Paradise, AUS June 1-6, 2005

AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE, OY, OY, OY!! G’DAY MATES – Dr. Braff and Dr. Hufford here, reporting to you from DOWN UNDER. We are here at the Gold Coast in sunny and beautiful Surfer’s Paradise, Queensland, Australia at the Australasian Martial Arts Hall of Fame and Day of the Masters. We were invited to attend as International Ambassadors by Kathi and Frank Tasetano (WKU). Let us tell you that Australian hospitality is Fabulous – the AUSSIES take care of everything – like one big happy family!!

In Australia AMAHOF is growing and expanding. It is like an elephant – slow to get moving – but once going it will plow through the jungle. RIDE THE ELEPHANT!!

We attended the AMAHOF board of directors meeting with Ramon Lawrence, Peter “Frog” Morton, Mal Lomax, and other board members, and we participated in the AMAMHOF Sokeship Council and Promotions Board meeting. What a great honor to share in another countries martial arts process.

After the meetings of the day was the AMAHOF banquet. Dr. Braff gave a keynote speech from WKU-USA. After that Dr. Braff was inducted into AMAHOF for “International Lifetime Achievements in the Martial Arts” and Dr. Hufford was inducted for “Lifetime Achievements in the Martial Arts.” We were both given lifetime appointments to the AMAHOF Sokeship Council.

Sunday was the “Day of the Masters" - A seminar event where many Australia and international masters come together to teach seminars for each others' students. The event was covered and broadcast on Australian Channel 9 and was written up in BUJUTSU magazine. After a great week we were sad to leave. But the Americans will return to TASMANIA next year.

WATCH OUT LES! – Here we come!!
