I was able to buy Doug's old domain name of www.cyborgscorner.com on July 6th, 2006. He liked this domain name, and it was put together by his friend John along with his old website that John made him a while ago. I will try to get a link to his old website that is archived on the web soon. Kelly wanted this domain name to stay active so I kept in wait until it became available. I am glad that I was finally able to get it back. There is not a week that goes by that he is not in my thoughts. Some day we will meet again my friend, keep an eye on us all. In memory of Douglas Betts feel free to use this memorial patch in memory of his honor & contributions to the martial arts on your web page. Also memorial items are also available. Why do this? We had a mutual friend pass away named Billy Denbin. Upon his passing they made memorial T-Shirts with the Harley logo as he was an avid biker. Doug told me personaly that this was a good idea. So for this reason and to keep his memory alive I have elected to do so after talking to one of his instructors who also said it was a good idea. In no way does anyone profit from any of this. This is to give something back to a friend who has given me so much. Memorial items can be bought at Cafe Press here.
ABOUT MASTER DOUGLAS BETTS: MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTOR DOUGLAS BETTS IS KNOWN FOR HIS KNOWLEDGE & ABILITY. HE IS THE MOST GIFTED MARTIAL ARTIST THAT I KNOW. HE EARNED THE TITLE "THE CYBORG". HE TOLD ME PERSONALLY THAT HE WANTED TO BE KNOWN FOR HIS KNOWLEDGE MORE THAN HIS ABILITY. HE DEDICATED HIMSELF TO "BRINGING REALITY TO THE MARTIAL ARTS AND TO MAKE HIS TECHNIQUES WORK IN TODAY'S MODERN ENVIRONMENT". HIS STYLE IS A COMPILATION OF MANY TRADITIONAL DISCIPLINES WITH ITS BASIS IN CHINESE KENPO AND RYUKYU KEMPO, AND ALSO INCORPORATING PRINCIPLES OF ANALYTICAL COMBAT, KUNTAO, JAPANESE JUI-JITSU, KALI, MUAI TAI, AND AMOK TRIBAL KNIFE-FIGHTING TECHNIQUES. HE TAUGHT YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE THROUGH GROUP AND PRIVATE LESSONS. DOUGLAS BETTS WILL BE MISSED BY THE MANY FRIENDS THAT HE HAS MADE THROUGH THE MARTIAL ARTS, AND BY HIS MANY FRIENDS OUTSIDE OF THE ARTS ALONG WITH HIS FAMILY MEMBERS. REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER, AND THANKS FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR MANY OF US. GOD BLESS MY FRIEND. DOUGLAS BETTS WAS ALSO INDUCTED INTO THE USA 2005 MARTIAL ARTS HALL OF FAME. HIS REPUTATION HAS REACHED FAR AND WIDE SO UPON HIS PASSING HE HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR HIS CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE MARTIAL ARTS AND FOR HIS ABILITY BY THE NORTH EAST GRAND MASTERS COUNCIL. BEING HIS FRIEND THEY CONTACTED ME SO THAT I COULD PRESENT TO HIS FAMILY CERTIFICATES RECOGNIZING DOUGLAS BETTS FOR HIS ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE MARTIAL ARTS. THEY ISSUED TO HIM CERTIFICATES RECOGNIZING HIM AS PROFESSOR/FOUNDER OF BETTS KENPO-RYU & 8TH DEGREE BLACK BELT. REGISTRATION NO. P-148
I WILL FOREVER LEAVE THIS PAGE UP SO THAT MANY CAN KNOW OUR OLD FRIEND WHO WAS SO TALENTED AND LOVED BY MANY.
