#ThrowbackThursday to the 2005 FSKA World Championships. Five fighters. One goal.
Proud to have stood shoulder to shoulder with legends - Sensei Hiroshi Allen @hirokarate , Jesse Arimas, Brandon Carrillo, and Thomas Balka.
In the final match, Sensei Vitaly delivered the decisive victory, clinching the title for Team USA against the reigning champions Team France.
The Stardust Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, NV
A moment in history.
Roots run deep. The journey never ends.
