He taught a more eclectic style that took elements from karate, kung-fu, tai-chi...

I went to college with the sister of Sheila Frasier. Her name is Diane Frasier,
and we were very good friends. In fact, we married our college sweethearts who
were dorm mates at the time.

We went to Bishop College in Dallas, Texas. Sheila and Diane were from
the New York/New Jersey area.

Sheila Frasier, during a visit to our campus to see her sister,
pierced my ears in our dorm room.

She is a very nice and gracious lady. Five years after college, I saw Sheila
after the movie was made, and it was so much fun hearing her recollection of
making the movie. How they had to keep putting hot water in the bathtub
during the love scene, because it kept ketting cold. And how loving, respectful, and professional Ron O'neal was during the filming.

Great movie, great soundtrack, great acting (on a shoestring budget),
and now a great classic!!
