There's no support for any claims of notability. The sole link, there are no references, is to a short article from a local paper that reads much like an ad. Even that article gives no reason that he's notable. Jakejr (talk) 04:16, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Few ghits to be found: trivial, non-WP:RS, or (mostly) both. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 04:39, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --Nat Gertler (talk) 08:31, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing out of the ordinary, but a lot that is: military service was nothing special, one (count 'em) martial arts school, teaches his students "discipline, confidence, and moral responsibility" (doesn't every teacher do that?). Take out the ordinary and we're left with nothing at all. Emeraude (talk) 11:37, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Holding high rank in a martial art, operating a martial art school, and serving in a military force for 20+ years do not, in themselves, make a subject notable; on a worldwide scale, plenty of people have achieved those things. Janggeom (talk) 14:29, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
