He taught various film and television celebrities. ==Early years== Gordon Doversola was from Hawaii. He was born on 1 December 1934. His family was Filipino in origin, and he retained a strong sense of this culture. He started to train in jujutsu when he was eleven, and then was taught kenpō by James Mitose. He also boxed as an amateur in 56 bouts. Doversola was proficient in other martial arts when he came across Okinawa-te, which he learned from Taiken Nagusuko, who had been taught the art by Kehei Motobu. Doversola was one of a number of karate instructors who began teaching in the 1950s, some of whom had learned while posted to Okinawa or Japan by the army. Others were Ed Parker, Cecil T. Patterson, Donald Hugh Nagle, George Mattson and Peter Urban. Doversola moved to Los Angeles in 1957, where he opened one of the city's first karate dojos and taught Okinawa-te karate. He founded the Okinawa-te Karate Organization. Doversola taught the martial artist Joe Lewis (1944–2012). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gordon Doversola」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
