Williams’ Performances Open Minds
"We would like to congratulate Karate/Kung Fu Illustrated for selecting
Roy Williams to appear on the cover of the December 1993 issue.
When it comes to weapons,Williams is truly a master of physics.
He has a remarkable talent;
martial artists could learn a lot from him.
He performs brilliantly and has completely mastered his art.
If any KKI readers have a chance to watch
Williams perform, their eyes will be opened to a science they never knew existed.
Great masters of the past and present should be proud that Williams

By Grace Hayes
"Roy Williams has the power of two centuries-old samurai swords in his control.
The blades appear like long slivers of sunlight whipping through the air,

These are not weapons of a warrior, they are instruments of an artist.
