And now, 33 years later there is not a single day that goes by that I do not think of him or make a decision based on what I believe he would do.

Today marks the 2 year anniversary of the passing of one of the most influential people in my life. I have been a disciple of Carmen Pelusi Shihan since I was 14 years old. He literally changed my life…

[Bobby Walker @AikiBobby]

He didn’t fix me. I didn’t need to be “fixed” because he showed me that I was not broken. Instesd he taught me wisdom, he taught me how to use my heart and my brain. He taught me that LOVE was the most powerful force in existence.

You almost can’t tell which one is me and which one is David Chung in the 1984 movie Ninja III: The Domination…

[Bobby Walker @AikiBobby]

In this picture you have me wearing my green suit made by @BakezoriCrafts and right next to my head is my figure made by Khang Van. I guess you can see one of my favorite movies is 1984’s Ninja III: The Domination…

[Bobby Walker @AikiBobby]

Who wore it better? David Chung played the evil ninja in 1984’s Ninja III: The Domination. As a kid I thought green outfit was so cool. Here I am wearing my version of the green outfit made by @BakezoriCrafts . His work is unbelievable. Check out his work…

It’s been many years (decades) since I wore a little alligator on my shirt…
When I was a kid, it was Izod, now its just LaCoste…

1984 there was a show called “The Master” Lee Van Cleef as John Peter McAllister. He wore a medallion around his neck that represented the ninja clan he was a part of. I am so excited to have this replica of his butterfly pendant and these three publicity photographs.

Thank you @TXFett70 for helping me to build up my @ShoKosugiInst collection. I never got the chance to order from the Sho Kosugi's Republic of Ninja. So it was great getting these items. Man I miss those days in the 1980s…

[Bobby Walker @AikiBobby]

@BakezoriCrafts I have been a fan of yours for a couple of years now. Been following you for a while. Just wanted to let you know o finally own one of your designs. The green ninja outfit (evil ninja from Ninja 3) that you made for John Laurel in Texas. I bought his. Can’t wait to brag on you.

[Bobby Walker @AikiBobby]

Thank you @TXFett70 for helping me build my Sho Kosugi collection. This vintage poster from 1981’s “Enter the Ninja” is so beautiful. I can’t wait to get it framed!!!

[Bobby Walker @AikiBobby]

Note to self: wear a black shirt next time…

[Bobby Walker @AikiBobby]

I wish robes were still in style…

[Bobby Walker @AikiBobby]

When I wear the robe by itself I feel like a Jedi Knight…

[Bobby Walker @AikiBobby]

I want to wish my fiancee a very happy birthday!!! I love you Jessica Beasley!!!

[Bobby Walker @AikiBobby]

We were either in the 5th or 6th grade. He got a new pair of Air Walks. He treated those things like they were gold. He was constantly stopping and cleaning dirt off of them. I had never seen anyone act like that over a pair of shoes. I had to get a picture of them.

[Bobby Walker @AikiBobby]

I love coming across old pics of me when I had long hair in the back and short in top. We didn’t call it a mullet back then. Back then it was just the style. Can’t wait to scan these in…

[Bobby Walker @AikiBobby]

When I was a teenager I would save up my allowance each week and order stuff from Asian World of Martial Arts (AWMA). I always thought the picture on this logo was Sho Kosugi inspired…

[Bobby Walker @AikiBobby]

I have not worn a Shinobi Shozoku since Halloween 2014. But after the package I recieved in the mail today from John Laurel I may change that this year. It’s been approximately 32 years since I had opened a bag from AWMA. Thank you for the awesome gifts and the nostalgia…

[Bobby Walker @AikiBobby]

In Ninja III: The Domination, Goro Yamada, played by Sho Kosugi wore an eye patch made from a tsuba (sword handguard). Now I have one to wear also. This Halloween I may step it up a bit and go as Yamada!!!
