Richie Barathy-American Combat Karate

[bikerftw]

Hi everyone, I am looking for anyone who can help. I am trying to do a documentary on the life of Richie Barathy. I am looking for his former students, teachers, friends, family or anyone who has a story to tell about him or ACK. I am also looking for any film, video, photos, magazine articles. He was an amazing martial artist and I think his story should be told. You can post, e-mail or call me. Thanks. mattytat@nyc.rr.com 516-606-2021. Matthew.

There have been a few posts about Richie before but i don't remember where they are. I remember Richie well and was always amazed by him

I had though that a few of his former students where on the forum but they may no longer be here

Renshei Impallazeri (sp?) has opened up an ACK school in Levitown, NY and I believe he is still close with 3 Renshei's from the "original" ACK system.

PM me if you would like more info.

edit - i will be training on Sunday morning with Sensei Gallagan and hopefully Renshei Impallazari. I will Speak to him about this to see if he'd be able to help you or point you in the right direction.
