One person that comes to mind is woodrow speed who I have heard was in one of the black belt magazines way back in the 80s for karate or TKD tourneys. They say he was banned from using a ridge hand because it was so effective that he was winning them all LOL. The instructors from that era that I learned in seemed like they were great. We had one guy from our school who fought SuperFoot Bill Wallace named Robert Biggs. My instructors instructors name was Bill Morrison and I wondered where did these people come from and what schools did they learn from. One of the people that came from our school was Ira Judd who was supposed to be ranked number one in Missouri. My instructors name was Robert Morrow, I would like to know where these guys learned from or what lineage they came from or what schools. They never really said where they learned but, all the greats from around there came or trained at the same place for a brief period before they started their own schools...any help would be appreciated.
