Unless further sourcing is added this seems to fail  because it falls under the "local man gets award" description specifically mentioned.  The only sources indicate that he teaches judo and is involved in the local YMCA shooting program for children.  Things like organizing tournaments or coaching a "district sub-junior judo team" fail to distinguish him from millions of other community volunteers.  If, for example, claims like he "was ranked #1 for four consecutive years from 1981-1984 in Karate, Judo, Aikido, Jujitsu, and Kung Fu, Katas (Weapons) in National full contact-Knock down martial arts championships" could be sourced, that would be different.  As it is, it's just more unsupported claims that are found in so many martial arts articles
