I found some interesting magazine covers from back in the day. Sensei Preston Carter was Sensei Hodgkiss's Instructor. Sensei Carter taught in the Trenton NJ area back in the 60s and 70s. He was a bouncer in a bar and one night, if I recall the story correctly, he evicted a couple of drunk patrons from said bar. They returned to the bar and shot Sensei Carter and paralyzed him from the waist down. He continued to train, not letting his disability slow him down. He was famous for his complicated breaking demos even in a wheelchair. I just wanted to pass along some of our family history. Sensei Carter passed away in 1977.
