This is glorious. The Karate Master: A Beginner’s Guide to Elvis Presley’s Martial Arts Obsession | FIGHTLAND: "Elvis discovered karate while he was in the army. He spent his free time in Germany training under a German shotokan instructor named Juergen Seydel and spent his leaves in Paris working with Japanese shotokan instructor Tetsugio Mirakami. He trained with Kenpo master Ed Parker for the majority of his martial arts career. Elvis met Parker at a Kenpo demo in Beverly Hills in 1960 and started studying under him immediately. The pair remained lifelong friends. Ed Parker made Elvis earn his first degree black belt under another instructor... and sent him to a particularly strict instructor named Hank Slomanski. Elvis impressed Slomanski enough for him to tell Parker, “The kid ain’t pretty, but he’s tough and he’s a black belt.”

Elvis was awarded his seventh degree black belt by in 1972... Despite his apparent love and mastery of the physical aspects of the discipline, he looks like he’s going to die in pretty much all existing training footage of him."
