Bob Maschmeier, a prominent Pacifica kajukenbo karate teacher, went through a year last year that was harder than anything he has ever faced in his hardest, most rigorous training.
Diagnosed with cancer, he underwent a seven-hour surgery during which both his lungs collapsed and after which he developed a blood clot. But the surgery did successfully remove a tumor bigger than a golf ball from a lymph node in his neck.
"Because of the martial arts thing, I related to it like a street fight," said Maschmeier, 63, "Whatever it takes to win. That was my attitude."
