One of the leading karate experts in the world, George was the founder, operator, and chief instructor for Dillman Karate International, with 95 schools worldwide. He was a four-time national champion (1969–72) and was featured five times in Ripley’s Believe It or Not for his various accomplishments. A ninth-degree black belt, George has trained with Muhammad Ali in Deer Lake, PA, and Bruce Lee. He has performed before standing-room-only crowds throughout the country, including Madison Square Garden, NY; the Silver Dome, MI; JFK Stadium, DC; Baltimore Stadium, MD; and Veterans Stadium, PA. At the Spectrum in Philadelphia, before a 76ers basketball game, he broke two tons of ice (1972).
