Expert Teaches Lethal Art to U.S. Air Force
OMAHA.—Mel Bruno is a softspoken man with a misleading
suggestion of pudginess, but his
job is to make one of America’s
prime fighting teams even more
lethal.
Bruno heads the Strategic Air
Command’s course in “advanced
training combative measures”—
judo and karate. Judo is a sport,
karate barehanded killing.
Bimno is a black-belt judo ex­
pert of the fifth dan or level.
Sixth dan is the highest ranking
based solely on competitive skill.
There are few men in the United
States who are sixth dan. Bruno
could be made sixth dan any day
now.
The boss of the Strategic Air
Command, Gen. Thomas S. Power,

not only has promoted judo
among his men but has progress­
ed to black belt, second dan, him­
self.
Bruno and a team of SAC judo
instructors recently went to Ja­
pan to compete in tournaments
there. It was Bruno’s 10th trip
to the birthplace of judo.
A onetime So. Calif, and AAU
wrestling champion, Bruno learn­
ed judo as a teenager. He was
trainer for the Japanese Olympic
wrestling team in 1932 and was
a black belt judo performer at 17.
