My buddy Clarence (Hindu) Ewing sent this interview to me (part of an excellent series of interviews with first-generation students of Sensei Tatsuo Shimabuku, founder of Isshinryu Karate. I have always been a rogue, even a rogue to this bunch of rogues, so never merged with the stateside Isshinryu organization. I went off teaching on my own, adding other styles, especially Jujutsu and Ki exercises. Though everyone is now a Grandmaster, back then we were just a bunch of Marines working out with a fierce and good man.
I am the friend Clarence refers to when visiting a local blacksmith and having sai's made.
