The First Official Gosikido Student

George Chacon - Started training with me in August of 1984, when I first decided to create Gosikido. I remember meeting him at Mr. Parker's Long Beach International with his brother-in-law Joe (who was my student in the Goju-Ryu school). After that, he would come over to train at my house three to four times per week as the forging of a new style was on its way. This went on for over 12 years. His dedication and absolute loyalty was uncompromising. He was the first animal I named . . ."The Tiger", due to his unbelievable technique. He gave me the honor of being the Godfather to his first born son. He now lives in Temecula (on the other side of the world), which makes it very hard to come an see us - but I know, all I have to do is call. I want to thank him for putting up with all of my tests, trials, and fumbles as I struggled to capture the essence of my teacher's knowledge.
