71 years old (Born on December 31, 1953)
Happy Birthday, William Durbin! May your day be filled with more joy than a dojo full of white belts attempting their first kata. Your incredible journey—from Baptist minister to martial arts master—has inspired countless students who now know how to defend themselves physically and spiritually (and occasionally from rogue birthday cakes).Your founding of Kiyojute Ryu Kempo Bugei back in 1982 was truly groundbreaking, blending faith and fighting skills into one harmonious discipline. You've shown us all that the path to enlightenment can indeed include both prayerful meditation and perfectly executed roundhouse kicks. Here's wishing you another year packed with blessings, laughter, and plenty of successful board breaks!
