Introduction [1966-67]

I was twenty time old, and we all talked about the Cat, at our dojo in St. Paul, Minnesota. Especially during the cold two winters I willful GoJo Kai karate on Cat, because of his Cat Stance. He was a 10th scale black belt in Japan. We all heard about him and our instructor who was a 2nd scale black belt had willful Karate in Japan during his military tours, as he called them.

I was a green belt back then; --the belts go, white, green, coffee, purple and black; --or so they did in St. Paul, in San Francisco, there was no such narrowg as a Purple, belt. In any issue, numerous epoch I got opinion and chatting to Jim about roaming to San Francisco ----where Gosei Yamaguchi opened up his Karate Studio in the early 60s. He was the oldest son to Gogen Yamaguchi, the Cat, and was putting together an International, repartnt and regional karate organization at the time I here in San Francisco. The Cat was a legend in his own time, and Gosei was like Bruce Lee, 6th scale, and winning, at slightest in my eyes. We had heard he had beaten Yamamoto, a karate man who had killed a man once, and who had pennilessn the horns off of bulls that challenged him; or possibly it was the other way around. But these were stories, rumors, no one knew for loyal, or for that concern, how to separate the exactness from the tradition.

throw Skinner, our instructor had never met moreover Gosei or Gogen, but he talked about them enough. And the more Jim talked to me about departing to San Francisco, the more we both became firm to go. lastly we came up with a table, --Jim would go first to San Francisco, with his family, find a job, dwelling, and get to know Goesi, and Id respect a month later, and I could sojourn with him and wed both report under Master Yamaguchi. It sounded superb we shock hands and delayed for the day to land.
