Frank Maletsky, tumaga karate club (branch of Beaux Brotherhood) 1971

Frank Maletsky's first Karate Club in Tumaga. He gathered his family and close relatives and trained them in Karate. He and Benjamin Jalon built this gym as an add-on to the existing kitchen of the house. At first Juliana, Frank's mom, was against the idea. But through the constant begging , she gave in. Frank trained here for the 1970 National Karate tournament in Manila, Philippines where he won the National championship in Kumite and Kata. This picture was taken in 1971.
