Taken at the old dojo of the Shotokan Karate Institute.

My sensei, Hanshi M.A. Sharifi.

Taken in Tehran, Iran.

From left to right: Hanshi M.A. Sharifi, Sensei Michael Tabassi, and Master Hidetaka Nishiyama.

Sensei Tabassi first started training karate in Iran with Hanshi Sharifi (who is my sensei). Both my sensei and Sensei Tabassi earned their 7th dans from Master Nishiyama (may he rest in peace).

Master Gichin Funakoshi

If/once it gets taken down I’ll replace the embedded video with a working one. This is a must watch for any karateka!
