Richard Beeman began his Martial Arts journey in Shaolin Kenpo in 1975 at the Weir theater and received his Black Belt in July of 1979.
Professionally, Richard was a paramedic/firefighter for the Hoquiam, Washington Fire Department.
This writer remembers Rich as a frequent participant in classes at Aberdeen Kenpo Karate, and a diligent worker on requirements to his Black Belt. Richard is listed on the International Shaolin Kenpo's web site page.
