When the Disney job was finished in 1970 or 1971, Mike Foster moved to Daytona Beach, Florida and opened a dojo while I moved to Birmingham, Alabama. Mr. Koda and his family stayed in Florida.
Upon arriving in Birmingham, Alabama, I opened a karate school in Trussville, Alabama teaching at the recreation center. Gene Henderson and his brother David were teaching karate in Sylacauga, Alabama at the recreation center. At that time, I was a fifth degree black belt and oversaw Yoshu-Kan karate schools in Alabama.
