i started Karate when i was 18 and in the military, i kept it up for 6-7 years and really enjoyed it. when i was 38 i decided to locate my old instructer who was still in Moreno Valley and give it another shot. it almost killed me, i couldn't believe how much my body hurt and it didn't get much better until after the 1st month. i did it for another 6 months and then just didn't have the time to keep going with it.
my Sensei is the second guy on the left, this photo was taken at the 2004 Masters Hall Of Fame.
