for competition at Top World Rated Tournaments
Universal Pasha Karate School,
one of the most traveled and supportive schools of Martial Arts Tournaments in
America. Since 1984 Grandmaster Robert Dickerson and his wife
Master Wanda Dickerson organized one of the most traveled Karate
Schools in America. The Universal Pasha Karate School was always
recognized for bringing 15 to 35 competitors and at times over 40 competitors to
many prestigious Martial Arts (Karate Tournaments) in America. They would
sponsor and organize van and bus trips to these tournaments, especially the East
Coast. Universal Pasha Karate School have also sent their competitors
to Martial Arts Tournaments all over the United States of America and abroad.
Universal Pasha Karate School is the school that produced the only undefeated

1991 at Top World Rated Tournaments.
Many promoters had to put together a corporate
sponsored team from the best competitors in the best Martial Arts (Karate)
Schools in America to compete with Universal Pasha Karate School's Black
Belt Teams. With only one lose since 1991, our school of champions were victorious in all
other Black Belt

the United States of America.
I, Robert H. Dickerson earned and received my
Black Belt in 1974.I became very concerned
about the decline of the inner-cities in America.We must help develop and teach families the value of education and
the understanding of love and discipline.My method of teaching the Martial Arts to our community is very
unique.We dedicate our time and our
specialized teachings to low-income urban areas, where single parents may need the most
help in the development of their children.The
Martial Arts (Karate) offers many benefits such as developing
Self-Defense Skills,
Self-Confidence,
Self-Discipline, Self-Control,
Self-Awareness,
Character,
Moral Character and Leadership
Development.It will improvemental
concentration, balance & coordination,
improve your cardiovascular system,
reduces
stress, tension and help you express yourself
physically,
mentally and
spiritually
through body, mind and spirit.
In this unique system (style), you will learn Katas or Forms and other techniques from the great Martial Art style called Kyokushinkai,
founded by
Masutatsu
Mas Oyama.You will also learn forms
and techniques from the great styles of Shotokan, founded by
Gichin Funakoshi and Bando,
which was introduced to the United States of America by Dr. Maung Gyi. Mr. Dickerson is also an
associate member of the American Order of Combat, founded by Grandmaster Ja’mes Bethel.
I would like to give my appreciation and
recognition to five men whom I respect as my Martial Arts and Boxing instructors.Those men are
Grandmaster Ameer
(Alfred
Dennis), Grandmaster Earley Kelley, Grandmaster Carl G. Beaman, Grandmaster Ja’mes
Bethel and The Great Grand Master of Boxing, our Boxing teacher and trainer,
Gordon Dickerson better known as Bro. Flash.
