WORLD KARATE UNION HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES THE WORLD KARATE UNION HALL OF FAME IS HELD THE LAST WEEKEND IN JUNE IN THE POCONO MOUNTAINS IN THE POCONOS, PA. SINCE 1996. (SINCE IT IS HARD FOR AN HONOREE TO TOTE A PLAQUE AROUND SHOWING HIS ACCOMPLISHMENT, AND SINCE THE WORLD KARATE UNION IN ADDITION TO AWARDING PLAQUES HAS PRESENTED WKUHOF RINGS TO THEIR INDUCTEES FOR 15 YEARS, WE ARE FLATTERED BY THOSE WHO NOW DESIGNATE RINGS AS AN OPTION). EACH YEAR THE COLOR STONE IS CHANGED. BELOW IS A LIST OF COLORS BY YEAR. IN ADDITION TO BANQUET AND AWARD CEREMONY, SEMINARS ARE CONDUCTED THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND. OUR INDUCTEES HAVE GRACIOUSLY DONATED THEIR TIME AND EXPERTISE AND ALL SEMINARS ARE FREE TO THE PUBLIC. VENDOR TABLES ARE AVAILABLE AT A MINIMAL COST TO NON-INDUCTEES, BUT ARE OFFERED FREE OF CHARGE TO INDUCTEES, PAST & PRESENT. ALL PAST INDUCTEES AND THEIR GUESTS ARE ALWAYS INVITED BACK TO FUTURE DINNERS AT DINNER COST ONLY AND ARE PRESENTED THE 2ND YEAR RETURNING (YES YOU MUST RETURN!) WITH AN EMBROIDERED WKU BLACK BELT. IN FUTURE YEARS IF THEY ARE NOMINATED IN A DIFFERENT CATEGORY AND DO NOT WANT A NEW COLORED STONE, THE WKUHOF WILL PRESENT A PLAQUE ONLY AT MINIMAL COST.
