28.08.2024
At the Original Martial Arts Hall of Fame on May 25, 2024, Dmitry Prosvirov had the pleasure of reconnecting with his old friend Jeff Powell. Jeff, a skilled multi-media photographer and graphic design artist serving Orange County and Los Angeles, was nominated as Martial Arts Man of the Year, while Dmitry was honored as Kung Fu Master of the Year. During their conversation, they reflected on how martial arts have positively impacted their lives, offering opportunities to teach others and become better versions of themselves.
Jeff’s commitment to martial arts is evident, as he was awarded Master of the Year in Bujinkan in September 2024, showcasing his expertise. Over the years, Dmitry and Jeff have crossed paths at numerous martial arts events, including the Asian World Film Festival in 2023, another martial arts hall of fame event in 2023, Dragonfest, and the Martial Arts Museum.
Their shared passion for martial arts has deepened their friendship and motivated them to continue exploring and expanding their knowledge within the discipline. Dmitry looks forward to future events where he and Jeff can further their understanding and appreciation of martial arts.
