Robert Halliburton

My name is John Pulido, and he was my father figure. He was passionate about discipline with a purpose. And he had a purpose for all of us all of his students, and I am super grateful for knowing him and for him knowing me

I knew Robert from our time together at Japan Ways Karate School !! ! I met him first thru my cousin Charles Galick Jr., He was a good friend and one of my Karate Instructors !! !

Sensei Halliburton saved my life. I wouldn't be here now if not for the lessons in life he taught me. I ask him questions before I sleep almost every day.

I have been trying to find the words to express my sadness over this loss.
It has been 20 years since I last saw Sensei, but I remember things vividly. I look fondly back at my days with Sensei, my fellow classmates and our training classes. I can hear him telling me I could kick harder, I could kick higher, I could get my stance lower...I could do more if I tried. I just needed to try. That concept has sustained me throughout my life so far....you need to try to succeed. ...

Good times from a long time ago, When I heard of this loss it broke my heart...Lots of things came rushing into my mind.Many nights smokin cloves outside OTS and crying on his great shoulder..He always made me feel safe and had my back when I "didn't need anymore friends." I miss the talks and the laughs and watching him grin from ear to ear so proud of his girls....Reading his story I only knew 1/3 of the GREAT man he was....My heart goes out to you guys! DONNA I miss you and love you..What...

My Deepest Sympathy. Halliburton Sensei will be missed by his family, students and friends, and as a martial artist.

Wow-
I just heard of the loss of Sensei today (Tues 4/29) and can honestly say that it was crushing news to me .I spent years teaching here in Fresno and even though we were in direct competition on a business level I NEVER held Bob in anything other than complete esteem.Aside from being in awe of his talent as a Martial Artist ,I respected him even more so as an awesome man and TREMENDOUS asset to the M.A community.I pray that God lays his hand of comfort on Faye and the girls.

To the family, friends and students of Sensei Halliburton,
On behalf of myself, the instructors and the students, we send our prayers and heartfelt condolenses for the passing of Mr. Halliburton. I have never forgotten all that he has taught me and to this day, I carry those teachings in my everyday life and pass it on to my students. He touched many lives with his knowledge, humor and love for others and the art. He will always be remembered as a true friend, teacher and warrior. ...

Sensei, I sit here and struggle to find the words that can express how I feel. You were my hero,my sensei. I will never ever forget you and the teachings that you passed on to me as a martial artist and as a man. For all of the lives you have touched in your travels as a father,teacher,friend and sensei, god awaits you with a proud smile on his face for a job here on earth that was truley well done. You will be welcomed into heaven with open arms from god and greeted with a resounding...
