http://kc-shotokan.com clips from 1967 through 2007 of Kansas City Shotokan Karate Club started in 1966 by Jon Beltram, a junior of Tsutomu Ohshima. Affiliated with Shotokan Karate of America, teaching karate-do in the United States since 1955
The funny thing is that prior to that night I had heard many unbelievable stories about him from other high ranked black belts in karate that were not Shotokan practitioners. That night I felt like the archeologist that found the much needed physical evidence to prove that a mythological story was true.
A few months ago, I attended an MMA event. There, I met two former students of Mr. John Beltran. I am not a student of Mr. Beltran. On that night, the new acquaintances and I spent an hour talking about bigger than life stories relative to Mr. Beltrans karate feats.
It's nice to see some (non) JKA shotokan once in a while.
