Man, you have no idea how much I'd love to do that but I am SO unbelievably out of shape and out of practice at this point. I would embarrass myself in front of Hanshi Perry...it's been YEARS...LOL I'm better off (safer)visiting him at his DoJo there in my hometown when I go home for the Holidays.
@peachfoot hey rick im a current practitioner of shorin ryu shorinkan under richard poage sensei. every year Hanshi perry has a karate camp you should look it up and perhaps visit it and see him.
An accomplishment few can ever attain even if they dedicate their whole lives to the art. Fellow martial artists watching this video should think back to the years of training and running a dojo that go into attaining such a rank. Hanshi Perry has helped pave the way for future US shorin- ryu shorinkan practicioners and deserves the up most repect for this mind-blowing accomplishment! Congratulations!
I had the honor and privilege of knowing and studying under Hanshi Perry back when he will still "Sensei Perry". He was my Sensei at that time and for about 5 years. I was one of his original students at the Shorin-ryu Karate Academy there in Hendersonville, NC. I learned more from Hanshi Perry about LIFE and Character than I ever learned about Karate Do.
I would love to reestablish some contact with him but.....like a Ninja.....he's impossible to either track or trace. -Rick Redmond
@wwwFamilyPrideOrg I was wondering that also.
