MessageGreat site, Karl! Really brings back some wonderful memories. I was blessed to begin studying Judo with Sensei Trias in 1959, when I was 8; then later transitioned to Karate. I actually think I'm in one of those old pictures in front of the dojo on McDowell Rd! THANK YOU for the nostalgia and for keeping the memory of this wonderful man and teacher alive.

MessageBeautiful site. Noticed that Kathy Sullivan visited your site recently. I trained with her for a very short time under Sensei Mel Wise in the late 60's. I was very lucky to be exposed to the level of karate that Sensei Wise practiced.

MessageVery nice tribute to Master Trias. I studied Shorei/GoJu starting in 1969 first with sensei Mel Wise, Master Trias star Kata man. Then studied with Parker Shelton. Competed all over the south and mid west for several years and won USKA Nationals in 1969/70and71. Master Trias gave me the Trias International Award in 1970. He showed me nothing but respesct and taught me much. I still work out in California under Gosei Yamaguchi, Gogen's oldest son. The martial arts will always be a part of my life.

MessageVery nice site, nice to see that some still honor the heritage. In todays Martial arts, way too many are self serving, and forgetting the history in favor of what they think they know. Very pleasing to see there are more of us out there in this style.
