One of my students just got me "Karate Elvis" for my recent birthday... It comes with a Lighted Stage, IKKA Certification, Breakable board, Dragon Standards to hold the board, TCB {Taking Care of Business} patch, and a moveable "action" arm to do the breaking! here is a site with pics of this specific uniform the he wore: http://www.wbbb.org/elvis/galleryA.htm

I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this unique piece of Kenpo History?

I believe he picked it up off of ebay. http://search.ebay.com/elvis-Karate_W0QQsokeywordredirectZ1QQfromZR8

Yep,

First saw one in C. Dishmon's place on his shelf back when we were training with Mr. Whitson for the long weekend. I think his comment was, "Dude, you gotta have the Karate Elvis"...

Yes, I've seen this. It is several years old which is why they are on eBay now. I could not get one when I first saw and later when I had money they were out of the stores.

My brother-in-law is a huge Elvis fan and I have always liked Elvis.

When I make it to 10th Black, I'm going to wear that Gi myself.
:uhyeah:

Yeah Mr. Conatser, I own one in mint condition.
No joke.

It's okay.

What's really kinda neat is that the belt certificate in the case is an exact scale replica. You can make out Mr. Parker's signature and everything.
My wife got it on E-bay.

That's got to be one of funniest things I 've ever seen. I live a sheltered life. I've gotta have one. To ebay I go.
