I stand corrected... it WAS Sensei Bill Parent, Hahaha I had to strain my brain and go pull out some really old files. Were talking what 71 through 73-74, for me anyway. I remember calling him Sensei Bill, I guess his last name morphed in my brain over the years, I have been saying Prentiss for at least a decade ... boy have I got some things to change. I don't remember Jerry Taylor, sorry did he teach at the school I went to?
The school was in a shopping center at the corner of Balboa & Devonshire. Sensei Bill taught us Tang Soo Do. I remember "Chuck Norris" was on everything, I can even see the window painting in my mind in big blue & white letters.
Did you ever meet Rob Margolin? He was a Green Belt instructor who taught most of us kids, we called him Mr.Rob back then. We have been buddies for years and were talking backgrounds when we realized he was my instructor at the school.
@MrMfloor Is Sensei Bill still alive? Did a search but couldn't find anything? Just left "Rob" a voice mail on this
Hahahahah. Thanks for bringing that up, I can only laugh. OOPS! Hope Sensei doesn't kick my ass, hahahahaha. What are you doing now?? Teaching, still studying??
Hi Bill, Was it Bill Parent's studio on San Fernando Mission? I went there to and my uncle Jerry Taylor was Chuck Norris's instructor.
