I hope this is not true.
ReplyDeleteIs this the Jimmy Vest who used to do karate way back in the late 70's early 80's? I was seeing if he still taught...He was an old friend of mine.
ReplyDeleteYes he is the very same Jim you knew if you lived in Eastern Baltimore County. Especially Essex/Middle River area. He is like a brother to me and I recently reconnected with my brother Jim. I had not seen him since 1988 until last month. He is still the great guy I ran around with bar hopping and martial arts events.
DeleteI took Goju-Ryu under him. I have the same fist tattoo
ReplyDeleteOn my right inner forearm.
Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated (I'm pleased to say). Still training - returned to fighting and had some knee issues; been back pumping iron for the last two years and currently bigger than ever.
ReplyDeleteU still fight
