Our 1st "BIG" dojo on 8th Ave and 45th Street in Manhattan.

Pimps and prostitutes were our biggest fans. You needed karate to get to the dojo.

The dojo was a dance studio. The flamenco and bellydancers loved us.

Wow! Varon back in the old days with Sensei Mizakazu Takahashi from the Kenko-Juko Association in the Tokutai Dojo in Flushing, Queens (Sensei Toyotaro Miyazaki Hombu Dojo)

The Florida Dojo had a small but dedicated following.

Eventually it moved to a larger location with a few more dedicted souls.

Yes this is another way of saying Legend: "The Legendary Barefist Empty Hand Way."

Before there was airport security........

Corona-Queens Dojo in a dance studio. You will note Fred Astaire in the background.

Our last dojo which was in the basement of a restaurant. The patrons "loved us" sort of...

We had hair and it was black and it was long.

We thought we were the Bubba Gumps' of the world.
