Cambridge Who's Who Recognizes George Wylie Thompson for 40 Years of Martial Arts Experience

CEO and President of the Arkansas Karate Association An Expert Instructor of Karate

Cabot, AR, June 29, 2007– George Wylie Thompson, chief executive officer and president of the Arkansas Karate Association, has been recognized by Cambridge Who's Who for his instructional prowess and successful salesmanship. Thompson is a strong, determined, patient and highly skilled instructor who has parlayed his passion for the martial arts into a successful karate school. He would like to thank his Sensei Torajiro Mori of Tokyo, Japan.

As a practitioner of martial arts since 1967, Thompson has been training and instructing others in the art of karate since 1992. Currently a 5th degree black belt, he instructs students from all walks of life and skill levels at his school. Thompson teaches students a myriad of self-defense techniques that range from beginner white belt all the way up to black belt. The techniques and lessons taught not only focus on self-defense and self-control, but also instill a desire to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

As a former U.S. Marine Corps Vietnam veteran, Thompson is extremely honored to have been given the opportunity to train Marines in one-on-one combat, derived from various karate techniques.

“Since hand-to-hand combat is especially integral to a Marine’s training and ability to survive any combat situation in which no weapons are available, I feel privileged to teach these crucial techniques to my fellow Marines,” he says.

Thompson is currently collaborating with Arkansas Master Smith John Fitch to make handforged custom knives that can be distributed to the troops in Iraq.

In accordance with Thompson’s belief in maintaining the optimal level of health, he also uses, endorses and sells anti-aging and restorative health products distributed by Waiora. The company’s approach to optimum health involves removal, replenishment and restoration on a cellular level. Thompson successfully lowered his own blood pressure using Waiora products.

In 1962, she enrolled at Washington University in St Louis, Missouri and continued to take electives in art while working on a nursing degree.

Pursuing her nursing career, she always had a great love for art and for nature. She moved to Boulder, Colorado where she again enrolled in art classes at the University of Colorado where she graduated in 1966, with a Bachelor of Science degree.

"In the mid 1960's while working as a nurse, she encountered a patient with a broken painting arm, Alexander Dzigurski. Dorothy was instrumental in Alexander's recovery and a great friendship, romance and marriage followed. In 1968 she married Alexander Dzigurski, famous for his unique and colorful seascapes, one of his larger canvases, called 'From Sea to Shining Sea,' hangs in the Franklin Mint Museum. It was painted in 1976 in honor of the nation's Bicentennial, when the Franklin Mint Gallery of American Art commissioned him 'as America's finest painter of the sea." Together they had traveled extensively throughout the contiguous United States and beyond to Europe, Canada, and Hawaii. In short order, the happy couple had a son, born with oil paints flowing through his veins.

In 1973, for three and one half months, Dorothy, alongside her husband and son, sketched and painted in the Swiss Alps, France, Italy, Yugoslavia and Spain.

Today, Alex Dzigurski II is a fine artist in his own right, in part a testament to Dorothy's love of art and her devotion to her artist husband and to her artist son. Today, grandmother and matriarch, one of her great joys is brushing away at her easel.
