concrt Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 jc4199,Are you serious? That is so cool. How old is Grandmaster Brock? I've seen pictures of the one My GM trained with from the late 70's and he looks to have been in his 40's to 50's then. Could this be him or maybe a son? His name I don't know, he's only referred to as S. A. Brock. If this is him, does he still do the breaking of baseball bats with his overhead block? We're told he could do this at some point. Someone could swing a bat at his head, and he'd do a #2 block (overhead) and break it.Does his dojo have a website? This is cool. Definately need to talk, let me know. I could use some dirt to razz the GM from our system.I guess, also, tell him that I train with Peter Rose. If it's the same GM Brock, I would think he'd remember GM Rose.Rick. Rick
patusai Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 Now that you mention it, I searched, and his name is on the Toyama's Shihan list. Very, Very cool!! "Don't tell me the sky's the limit because I have seen footprints on the moon!" -- Paul Brandt

I cant pm here yet but send me a pm with your e- mail and I will get you some more info.
concrt Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 jc4199,Thanks much for the replies, but I too can't PM yet. I/anyone needs 25 posts to do that. I'm no there yet.So how old is GM Brock? He's gotta be what,.....in his 60's or so? That's great that he still teaches. From what I've heard, he was quite a tough guy in his prime. (maybe still? )Thanks for the link to the school. I was hoping it would have a bit more on GM Brock on it, but I'll tell my Sensei about it for chuckles.I have a throw away e-mail address at Yahoo that you can use. If ya' send me a note I'll give you my real address. It's crhc191@yahoo.com.Talk to Ya' later,Rick. Rick
