Here is a pic of a deceased friend of mine. He was an extraordinary martial artist. I've seen him do things that were almost super human. He had an influence on how I see the world. He was also a mystic and we used to partake heavily and he opened my mind to say the least. He committed suicide living in Florida. He was always dealing with anxiety. He was part Russian and Part Apache. Quite a mix... I just found this pic on my computer.
One of the best memories I had of him was in high school. He had a reputation for being a tough guy and our school was racially divided. The black people used to hang out at one end of the courtyard. The biggest baddest brother challenged Frank to spar up in the ballet room where there are mats and stretching bars, mirrors and such. There were around 100 people there only four of us were white and we were a bit concerned. The black guy, Ahmit was his name I recall, was around six two 250 plus pounds of solid muscle. He was all flash in my opinion...anyways they squared off, Ahmit threw a few jumping front kicks then Frank...six foot about 160 lbs threw a roundhouse kick kicking Ahmit in the jaw. We all heard the sharp crack as Ahmit spit out five or six teeth. He fell over and complained his jaw wouldn't shut. He was beaten by one kick and all the blacks respected Frank and never messed with him after.
I can remember lots of incidents and I have lots of memories. His spirit still lives within my heart and those who knew him well.
