On December 11th 2018 Gerald "Awesome" Dawson suddenly passed away. Gerald was a life long martial artist who has practiced his craft since the age of 5. He had the brilliant mind and spirit of a warrior and used those talents to become a national and world champion multiple times. Gerald was well known, liked and respected in the martial arts community and he gave countless hours of training and mentorship  to past and present champions. During this time of sadness we are asking for donations to help the Dawson family cover funeral costs and other expenses. Gerald Dawson leaves behind his loving wife Paulette Dawson and three wonderful children: Jerrell, Kameren and Jorden.
