I can say this all my children (4 children the Huff kids) had the opportunity to share in this dream I had by attending the "Shakil School of Martial Art" which changed their lives and made them productive human beings. "SHAKIL!!!!" "WARRIOR!!!!"
Part 2 I also remembering being blessed by Karriems presence and noticing the very large knuckles he and Little K.A. had as a result of breaking bricks. I admired and wanted to be just like them. It never happened. He and the little Jedi were my hero's and I mean that.
Wow! First and foremost we really need to get his story. I remember always wanting to partake in the K.A. System as a kid (14 years old now 50). I remember the days just walking by the system starring in and appreciating and admiring the 6 feet plus trophies that adorned the windows. Just dreaming and wanting to be a part of the system. It never happened because I never knew how to ask my dad.
truer words have never been spoken, I hope someday I reach this great masters level not only as a martial artist but the way he carries himself the words he speaks come from hardship, trials and tribulations but he still carries on. I would love to travel and meet this man.
Thanks for the video. Has anyone thought about finding the top African American Martial Artists of the 1960s-1970s and making a book about them. Peace
one of the best fighters to come out of the ka system was the only female black belt from the school, Tanya Hill. Unbeatable in the 70s and often beat men to earn her rank. most recently, her shodan. in the very same event you see happy crump and nashid wasi, Tanya faught a male, and legit black belt to 3 points. and it was a contact match. incredible.
what about me karate-bryant i from 1971-74 alone ture thourgh the junior -division as a ad.vanced white-belt beat all the star's in it brown and blackbelt's wheither they were bigger or what i found a way to win i am hurtand angry because it appear's i have been four gotten i alone with lil ka won not only fighting-1st.-place's on a regular base's but kata-form's and i at the age of 54 have come back and just won 3 championship's here in florida maybe one day some one will give me my just
I looked up to you sooo much KARRIEM you where the ALI of KARATE remember LIL KA,MR.graceful, ROBOT CRUMP,OSMAN SHABAZZ and when you worked security at Plainfield HIGH I would ride my bike along side you just to get a chance to talk to you.
We grew up inthe 70.s doing martial arts...sanuces and tae kwon do)the only respectable names we heard back then were...Muhammed Ali,Bruce Lee, Master V,Moses Powell and Kareem Allah...that was it! These were the real deal cats.
I have learned and benefited greatly from the KA System and style and it has been such a wonderful blessing to be able to have it and not need and to not be a position to need it and not have it. May Allah bless and reward you Grandmaster Karriem.

I still have a copy of the "The K.A. System of Karate - Freestyle Crough (1988) and have used the workouts with many of my student here. Alhumdu lillah & Jazak Allah Khairun
Its good to see a real GrandMaster that has been there and done that.Growing up in the KA System as a teen, I am here to tell you it is the truth. Those KA boys, they move so sweet.God bless you Karriem.

I remember him. Like Count Dante, he didn't hesitate to criticize the martial arts shortcomings. He took some heat but was still a good fighter.
