We’ve heard now from two people that knew the late, great, James Mitose - Hanshi Bruce Juchnik and Grandmaster Rick Alemany. You may not have recognized that name, though, so we thought it was a good opportunity to put forth a profile of the man. It’s a good bet that even if you don’t know it, your martial arts life has been touched by this man.
