As you may be aware, I have been helping my friend Steve Black part with his collection. Since Steve only has an 8x10 or two left, the price is starting a bit higher. We have sold all of his 8x10s except for the ones that he did not intend to sell, and now he is parting with those few photos.

This comes with two JSA certificates and a certificate signed by Kang Rhee himself, so you are getting a Rhee autograph on the photo and a Rhee autograph on the certificate.

Who are these folks?

Kang Rhee:

Karate Master Kang Rhee, who taught Elvis Presley martial arts, has died since signing this photo.

Rhee trained in Kong Soo Do, Chang Mu Kwan, Kwon Bup, Kang Duk Won and Han Kuk Hap Ki Do in the 1950s and 60s. He started PaSaRyu Association in Memphis in 1966. Countless Memphians learned the martial arts at Rhee’s studio – including martial artist Bill “Superfoot” Wallace and Elvis Presley.  Elvis trained with Rhee from 1970-1974 in Memphis.

Elvis was awarded the 8th degree black belt by Rhee in 1974.  Elvis gave Rhee a custom deluxe Eldorado Cadillac. Elvis’ father Vernon purchased the car for Elvis, who used it as his personal car for 10 months before gifting it to Rhee.

Rhee gave Elvis his karate nickname, Tiger.

Rhee produced an annual charity karate championship that benefitted St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. He was given the State of Tennessee Governor’s Award in 1988, won numerous Certificates of Appreciation from the City of Memphis Mayor and was named the Tennessee Ambassador of Goodwill in 2001.

This item will ship promptly and securely from Enid, Oklahoma. Check out my other auctions as I am listing much of my friend Steve's lifetime collection of Elvis memorabilia.
