1971
While in Memphis, Elvis contacts Korean-born karate instructor Kang Rhee, whom Ed Parker has recommended for his expertise in tae kwon do.
Elvis visits Master Rhee's studio on Poplar Avenue, across from Overton Park, and the two of them immediately hit it off, with Elvis receiving his fourth-degree black belt on this date.
Many a drunken evening ended with me doing the Elvis karate pose.
