George Dillman is a martial arts instructor and member of Black Belt magazine's Hall of Fame (1997) as Instructor of the Year. He refers to the art of using pressure points as Kyusho jitsu. He calls his style Ryukyu kempo karate. His art has generated a considerable amount of controversy, due in large part to Dillman's reluctance to scientifically prove the validity of his claims. The most contentious claims have been his promotion of alleged no-touch knock-outs, kiai knock-outs, and increasing technique effectiveness based on sound and color. Dillman began serious martial arts training in 1961 with Harry G. Smith. He went on to study with Daniel K. Pai, Robert Trias, Seiyu Oyata, Hohan Soken, Wally Jay, Bruce Lee and Muhammad Ali. Official Karate magazine (Nov. 1982) described Dillman as "one of the winningest competitors karate has ever known." Dillman was four-times National Karate Champion (1969–1972) and during this period was consistently ranked among the top ten competitors in the nation by major karate magazines. During his nine-year competitive career, Dillman claimed a total of 327 trophies in fighting, forms, breaking and weapons. In 1997, George Dillman was named Black Belt Magazine's Instructor of the Year. In May 1998, Dillman became the first martial artist inducted into the Berks County Sports Hall of Fame.
