Van,
Now that is what I call a DISARM!
Eons ago I saw a Ranger instructor teaching a firearm disarm and he was a blur. Guess in the age of Remotely Piloted Vehicle Pilots a miniaturization of that MRI issued to all LEOs might not be far behind.

Generosity of Soul & Spirit
George, I was touched by the note you inscribed. After 50 years it becomes ever clearer how the forge of time strengthens friendships, much as the time consuming multiple foldings in making a Katana, and really learning San Chin [ 1960's student to you "What do you mean it takes a lifetime to l...

Bill,
I filmed Harry Brawley performing all the Kata on SUPER 8mm color. You might want to see if he can be contacted and get a copy.
His Kata were crisp and in the original style GEM taught.

From The Meat Locker Time Machine
I just got my copy today. GEM has not lost his writing capability. As a 1960 'frozen winter toes' student in the 'Alpine' first Dojo and then the Columbus Avenue Improvement I was transported back by the stories in GEM's new book. Yes, I have all the previous ones, including the very first "Whe...

My Candidate for Vrooooom!
Van,
Last weekend my son took me for a ride in his new car and I must admit I may be turning in my SL.
The acceleration, I told him, was even better than my 1964 Buick Wildcat, and when he decelerated from 60 to zero my stomach kept going.
