A student's mother came in with three Black Belt magazines she had fround at a garage sale and bought for me. They were dated 1990 and 1991. Coincidentally, all had articles about Ed Parker and kenpo. In addition, one had the letter in it I had written refuting Al Tracy's claim that his schools teach standardized material throughout the world. (Wasn't true then and still isn't.) Chicago black belt Brian Fox wrote two letters and there was one from Zach Whitson (also reefing on Tracy. In fact, most of the letters about his article did.)
It's probably a good thing she didn't look inside one of the mags because whoever had their hands on them at one time put word balloons in like a cartoon on many of the photos and they were rather nasty. I noticed they didn't deface Danny Inosanto's stuff, though.
Always fun to look back at the stuff from almost two decades ago.
