Dude. I was introduced to this art in the late 80s. My Dad took me here to learn to defend myself. That DRAGON painting on the wall, the local drunks coming in to get their asses kicked(literally) out the door, the four lessons a night, seeing Ron Scanlon whoop ass from a wheelchair...It was KUNG FU SAN SOO magic brother. R.I.P. SIFU!!!
Holy.. Man a FLOOD of memories from that Ontario studio in the late 80s! Me and my Dad trained there. My Dad's teacher was Dave Carter (R.I.P.) I was like 12-13 and trained later at his other studio in my 20s. Bill gave everything he could to his students. No bull. Can you imagine an instructor today allowing students to film every class? He showed everyone the same respect and patience. Youd sometimes get 3-4 lessons a night. Then a good hour freestyle workout. They don't make em like this guy any more. R.I.P. Sifu. Thank you.
I know man, i wish some of Tony Horton's videos had made it out there. I trained under Sifu Horton at the Pasadena school (when i started i was one of only like 10 students altogether, and at the time i was in the kids class which had like 4 or 5 students, so I was one of the OGs), and had the amazing opportunity to go to a couple of Bill's classes in i believe it was Long Beach (around the time of this video btw).
I grew up in the Art under GM Bill Lasiter in this location. To this day, Bill is the greatest man I have ever known.
I had the pleasure of meeting GM Lasiter in our studio only a few times. He was a great martial artist and a human being. Respect.
