One of my students just got me "Karate Elvis" for my recent birthday... It comes with a Lighted Stage, IKKA Certification, Breakable board, Dragon Standards to hold the board, TCB {Taking Care of Business} patch, and a moveable "action" arm to do the breaking! here is a site with pics of this specific uniform the he wore: http://www.wbbb.org/elvis/galleryA.htm

I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this unique piece of Kenpo History?

I believe he picked it up off of ebay. http://search.ebay.com/elvis-Karate_W0QQsokeywordredirectZ1QQfromZR8

No, Sir--I haven't seen it before. I'd like to know where they got it, if you don't mind asking--it looks cool! :ultracool

Oss,

Yes, I have actually. I forgot all about that, thank you for posting that picture.:supcool:
:asian:
 
I'll have to look on e-bay for one of those,my Dad is a huge Elvis fan and has a collection of Elvis liquor decantors(one 24 ct gold).
 
My instructor is a huge Elvis fan and has it in his office! I love the certificate! It's really cool!!! :supcool:

Yep,

First saw one in C. Dishmon's place on his shelf back when we were training with Mr. Whitson for the long weekend. I think his comment was, "Dude, you gotta have the Karate Elvis"...

Yes, I've seen this. It is several years old which is why they are on eBay now. I could not get one when I first saw and later when I had money they were out of the stores.

My brother-in-law is a huge Elvis fan and I have always liked Elvis.

When I make it to 10th Black, I'm going to wear that Gi myself.
:uhyeah:
 
Yeah Mr. Conatser, I own one in mint condition.
No joke.

It's okay.

What's really kinda neat is that the belt certificate in the case is an exact scale replica. You can make out Mr. Parker's signature and everything.
My wife got it on E-bay.

Great picture, Mr. Green :lol:

I bought my very own "Karate Elvis" from e-Bay yesterday - can't wait to get it next week!!:ultracool

Thanks Doug. Those look like nice figures too; plus I dig the "Blue Hawaii" lunchbox! ("Rock-a-hula, rock-rock-a-hula...") :ultracool
 
That's got to be one of funniest things I 've ever seen. I live a sheltered life. I've gotta have one. To ebay I go.
 
I got my "Karate Elvis" last Tuesday, and it's so cool!! [And yes, I did take it out of the packaging so that I could play with it...;)]
