Tough guy cult, eh? 1968... looks like a bunch of hippies to me, running around in their pajama pants. Damn hippies.
 
Horn rimmed glasses? Those were the geeks my friend! Not the hippies :D
 
1968? I think Karate was getting popular before then. By that time TKD and Kung Fu were well known, and people had a good understanding of MA. I remember talking to a guy in Vietnam about an incident, and some how MA came up. I mentioned that I had studied briefly under Jhoon Rhee, who was at that time a 6th degree. "Wow" he exclaimed, "he's just about ready to start studying Kung Fu, isn't he?". :lfao:
