• Ken and Tracey Fosstrom: Australian Jujitsu and Szlagowski high belt holders. This post has been a long time coming and I sincerely apologize for the delay. Two and a half years ago Ken and Tracey opened their home to me in Kurrajong, we trained, we conversed and we laughed. Ken and Tracey met during Jujitsu classes in the early-mid 1970’s and then went on training together with Wally Szlagowski. Some of you reading this can also take claim to being a part of this story. Tracey loved to watch Bruse Lee movies and also loved to draw - Ken studied the science of martial arts and they both loved to practice realistic training. It is no wonder they have such memorable times and knowledge they would love to share with us. Here is a quick presentation of their incredible journeys so far… Karina 👊
