to your left you will see a clipping from blackbelt magazine's kid section. (oct.1998)
and for what it's worth I learned from watching WMAC Masters that Michael's height is 5'11" and from imdb.com his birthdate is May 28th, 1964.
info from odyssey.on.ca/~bernardokarate/html/aboutsensei.html
...(with a recent pic...I can't believe he cut his hair....)

* Black Belt Magazine Hall of Fame
* 5 Time North American Weapons Champion
* 7 Time Canadian Karate Champion
* I.S.K.A. World Champion
* Head Coach of the Canadian National Karate Team * Vice President of Forms for the W.K.A.

info from geocities.com/johan_a77/Bernardo.html

Michael started Bernardo Karate at the age of 17, then after receiving a Bachelor of Art Degree (? college in) Ontario he ran Bernardo Karate on a full-time base. 1988-1994 he dominated the National Tournament Circuit:
14 Canadian titles in Forms, Weapons and Fighting
4 North American Forms titles
4 North American Middle Weight Fighting titles
A record of 57 straight weapons divisions wins

I think the moral of the story is, if you can find what you love you can accomplish great things.
