Professor John J. Womble Sr.

All ways remembered, Sensei Womble, never forgotten.

You will always be remembered Master Womble.

Sensei John Womble: To say that even now invokes a sense of respect and admiration. He not only taught the discipline of Martial Arts but the discipline of life as well. His holistic approach to instruction was responsible for growth across the board. I learned from him often times from just being in his presence and receiving description of martial arts techniques and how those same techniques applied to everyday life. Sensei Womble was and in many ways is still my teacher today.

I will always remember Professor Womble as a prolific yet prudent martial artist and yet a master of gentle human interactions. He is sorely missed.

It is amazing how many of Grandmaster John J. Womble's original students from 1964 & 1965 are still practicing the art. I am grateful for the time I spent with Grandmaster Womble and my fellow partners. Continue your journey.
