Old G.S.K.A. Dojo pictures

The Old G.S.K.A. Dojo no longer stands. It was located on the 3rd floor of the building across the street from Billie Ann's Dinner in Gilbert. The G.S.K.A. was located there from January of 1993 to the Summer of 1999 when it closed down for good. The G.S.K.A. is now located at the Larry Joe Harless Center in Gilbert WV.



Jon Harless (black) working basics. I am going to assume that is "Boogie" Cline in the white.



Tommy Lester trying to become the Highlander before class.



Jon Halress and Tommy Lester sparring while Sensei Harvey laughs.



Members of the G.S.K.A. who took part in a local tournament in the fall of 1993.
