Allen Wheeler, a native of Knoxville, Tennessee, has been involved with athletics all his life. He played football and baseball in high school and for many years was active in weight lifting. At the age of forty-two, he began his study of Isshinryu Karate under Mr. Harold Long, 9th dan. Today Mr. Wheeler holds the rank of 8th dan. He is known throughout the Southeast as a self-defense expert who possesses powerful hand technqiues.

Fro 41 years Mr. Wheeler was an employee of the Southern Railway System, except for service during World War II in the Infantry, European Theater. His family is quite active in karate: his wife and daughter hold the Black Belt rank and a grandson is a black belt, making three generations in karate.

His dojo is very much family-oriented. It is not uncommon to find various members of a single family (as many as six) working out a the same time. From four students meeting in a local elementary school in 1971, Mr. Wheeler's dojo has expanded in both facilities and number of students.

Mr. Wheeler is a member of the Okinawan Karatedo Union, the United States Karate Association, the United Isshinryu Karate Assn., the American Arnis Assn., and the Fellowhsip of Christian Athletes. In 1976 he was named the karate Instructor of the year by the International Isshinryu Karate Association. He is active as a referee in tournament circles and is constantly asked to give demonstrations and to participate in seminars and clinics. Over the years, Mr. Wheeler has studied extensively self-defense, and the history of karate.
