I notice in this better quality pic that they are standing on tatami mat - so it must have been taken in somebody's dojo. But why in god's name was EP training in one of his jumpsuits? Probably he just stopped by, and then walked out onto the floor to do a technique or two, an let these fellows take a few pix.
The same day, the same place...:king:
Well, that's solved. I see Ed Parker, LT, and the rest of the crew.
Great pic Matt! Very awesome!(y) :notworthyQuote:

this was featured in the book BEHIND THE IMAGE, the guy is kiligo adolfo hawaian portugese karate champion and the llatest ED PARKER student, E.P. saw some film of him and was impressed with his strength and knoledge of the sport, so he was invited to meet the young man, vice versa, and the photo was taken in winter of 72

Sorry...just saw Leroy's post...I stand..err...sit corrected...I thought he only wore it in 1971.....
i have a caption from parker himself remembering that when E.P. went back to hawaii he went to meet the guy, and i wouldn't doubt the caption look at the aster linda was wearing this came from a local shopping spree in the islands.
Elvis did wear the "Now" suit belt with two-piece stage pieces in 1972.Quote:
