Hmmmm.....interesting. On his website it says in the 70's he's was "a well-known, top tournament competitor on the East Coast." But when I looked in the history records his name does not appear in any major tournaments. And my teacher Albert Cheeks fought all up and down the East Coast back in the 70's. All the old heads know who he is cause they either fought him or saw him fight but this guy name is no where to be found.
So what tournaments did he compete in back in the days?
master giacobbe is one of kind!!! he was my master for 10 years and is the BEST,not only at karate but, as a friend!!! also his sister ms.barbra tought me karate when I was a child. His whole family are totally wonderful people!!!! I miss and love you guys sooo much!! hopefully ill see you soon? this is michael shields, TANG SOO!!
Yes, He still teaches most of the classes. He has moved from laurel plaza. But is still on Blackwood-clementon rd. The Tang Soo Karate Academy now has a large gym attached. So parents and others can workout while kids or friends are in karate class.
i saw him do this in person , but he did 1 better by adding a girl on his shoulders and standing on broken glass, with 2- 5 gallon bucks of water 1 on each arm with the spokes through his arms holding the buckets of water.
haha this is awesome. my master(master frank trojanowicz) trained with him for a while and master giacobbe gave my master his 7th dan :]. master frank has a picture of giacobbe doin this in our school
Helping Master Giacobbe are Master Stan Smith, and his student at that time, Chris Naggiar. I trained under Master Smith in Los Angeles for over 5 years in the early and middle 90's. Master Giacobbe, it was always an honor to train with you when you came to LA : ).... This is Russian Roman, aka Don't-remove-the-stripe-from-your-belt-cuz-its-on-the-wrong-side, just-put-the-belt-on-the-right-way..... : ))
The students under Master Giacobbe are so lucky- I study tang soo do in Ireland and I have been to one of Master Giacobbes seminars- he is an amazing person- I have read his book several times. He is my Idol
Master D.A Gicobbe is MY Master. Im a black belt. He is awesome, Im gonna be in the tournement this thursday to fight cancer, (7-24-08) I love his sister Mrs. Barbra. This Is Natalie DeAngelis......TANG SOO!
I trained under him in Blackwood for 2 years (mid to late 90's, made 3rd kyu? - red belt and two stripes). I had never seen this until now. Simply amazing!
