On Saturday March 7, 2026 Wisconsin Judo inducted George and Katie Sell into the Wisconsin Judo Black Belt Hall of Fame. Their impressive competition records and willingness to give back to the Martial Art that was a big part of their lives is why Wisconsin Judo is blessed to have them. Both of them are known and respected Nationally and Internationally. Congratulations on this well deserved award.

Check out the Wisconsin Judo Hall of Fame page for more photos.
