In Memory of O-Sensei Phil Porter
Sunday, August 7, 2011 at 6:17PM 
A great Judoka Phil Porter Sensei died today. He enriched many lives. Please keep his family in your prayers.
It is safe to say that there is no other person alive in the world today who has had so varied and comprehensive a career of achievement in Judo and the Martial Arts as Philip S. Porter. In every field of endeavor involved in Judo; from coaching, teaching and national and international leadership positions to writing, refereeing and building the theoretical framework of Judo, he has excelled. His competitive career spanned 50 years, culminating with four US National Masters Gold medals in winning which he never lost a match.

Phil and I were friends that never met. We E mailed each other on a regular basis. My big regret is that I did not make more effort to meet. He will be sadly missed. Goodbye, Phil.
