A Tribute to Antony Satch Williams

So, there I Thomas McKinnon was in 1992 at 42 years of age and having been retired, the second time around, for 7 years in an accumulative scoring, continuous fighting, controlled contact, 3 minute round contest with ISKA World Champion Satch Williams, who was in his prime and at the top of his game. Tony Satch Williams ISKA, USA and World, Champion during the 1980s and 90s and who was in several martial arts movies during that period, including some of the early JeanClaude Van Damme movies Sadly, in 2011, at only 50 years of age, had died of a heart attack. I know that this may seem a little late in the day, and had I known sooner I would have paid my respects sooner. To Satchs family and friends, Id just like to express my belated condolences. I didnt know him well, or for very long, but the nature of our meeting was such that there is an intimacy shared by combatants and fellow karateka. R. I. P Antony Satch Williams.
