Talking with my dad outside the dojo. I love hearing about his stories and history. There are times I get to hear stories, I’ve never heard before. Other times I get more details. This was about the founder of a system called Lima Lama by Tino Tuiolosega. There is also some about Tom Crites, the karate instructor from the 60s at Samurai Academy.

Happy 250th birthday USA!
