"Sensei Larry Giordano, Yodan of Methuen Massachusettes and his students have been keeping very busy with Kyokushin activities. They have been putting on demonstrations and tournaments in Massachusettes and will be going to Canada in April to put on a television demonstration with Sensei Columbo.
An interesting idea is that of exchange students. Sensei Giordano's dojo will be having overseas exchange students from Canada and Sweden. We hope that the idea is catching."
