Dear Fellow Martial Artists and Arnold Battle of Columbus Supporters,

It is hard to believe that it has been 43 years since the first Battle Columbus in 1976. It has been my

privilege and honor to be your host, and I sincerely appreciate your support and encouragement. Founding a

multidisciplinary championship to embrace the diversity of all martial arts in the most positive way has been one

of my most treasured achievements. I could not have done it without you.

The Battle of Columbus was created to offer an opportunity for all martial arts practitioners around the

world to compete in a variety of martial arts events and to explore, test, and share the skills that they diligently

and patiently developed. The Arnold Battle of Columbus also offers a chance to meet martial arts leaders from

many styles and disciplines who share common goals in martial arts philosophy, principles, and traditions.

As is our custom, we will be recognizing the great martial arts pioneers and their successors for their

contributions to the development of the world of Martial Arts for Truth, Goodness, and Beauty with the

Bruce Lee & Legends of Martial Arts Hall of Honor Induction Ceremony. The induction ceremony will take

place on Friday, March 2, 2018, at Oriental Martial Arts College.

On Friday, March 2, 2018, 12pm-5pm, we are offering special training seminars and workshops led by

Bruce Lee's daughter, Shannon, attended the 2002 Arnold Battle of Columbus and accepted

The first Hall of Honor Induction Award on behalf of her father, the great Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee promoted the modern concept of martial arts to the world through his many movie roles. He was

born on November 27, 1940, in Hong Kong, was a graduate of Washington State University, and starred in

many television and film productions including The Green Hornet and Enter the Dragon. He was an ardent

student of Wing Chun Kung Fu and developed and successfully spread his own style, Jeet Kune Do. Bruce

Lee passed away in 1973 at the age of 33. He left behind a legacy to be admired and honored.

With his superb talent in martial arts and in action movies, he was able to revolutionize Asian culture,

perceptions of the martial arts, and perceptions of Asian people in the western hemisphere forever.

He is one of the only movie stars who became more famous after his death. His legacy will never die.

2) THE BATTLE COLUMBUS HALL of HONOR – Dedicated to the memory of SMK Founder Byung Jick Ro:

The Arnold Battle Columbus started in 1976 by SGM Joon P. Choi with the idea of promoting true diversity

in the martial arts community. The Arnold Battle Columbus offered various martial arts disciplines and their

students to explore their skills and to develop a family-like atmosphere among different martial arts styles.

In 2001, the Battle Columbus joined with the Arnold Sports Festival as partners and grew to over 4,000

athletes and over 10,000 spectators.

In 2015, in conjunction with The Bruce Lee and Martial Arts Hall of Honor Induction, SGM Choi decided to

honor masters, competitors, coaches, promoters, and volunteers who have dedicated more than 10 years

of service to develop the Arnold Battle Columbus into a wonderful martial arts championship.

The BATTLE COLUMBUS HALL of HONOR will be dedicated to the memory of the Father of Modern

Taekwondo – Supreme Grandmaster Byung Jick Ro.
