Continuing on with the Black History Month theme and Kung Fu Saturday and going through my paper goods and ephemera collection and pulling out some goodies featuring legendary Martial Artist and Bruce Lee's co-star in Enter The Dragon, Jim "Black Belt Jones" Kelly.

Kelly was not only a successful actor and featured in early Blaxploitation films, he also won multiple Karate tournament championship as well as having a martial arts school, Kelly's Karate Studio in Los Angeles at 4429 Crenshaw Blvd.

Doing a zillow search shows it's now a pawn shop with a home or apartments attached. Crazy how property values has increased. Sold in 2012 for $154,000, in 2013 for $386,000 in 2020 for $3.3mill

This week, the homies at @heavy_cycle_cinema @launderette.records in Philly will be screening Black Belt Jones, so if you're looking to catch a flick, here's a good reason.

Yesterday's event in Newark presented by @jbaar_npl at @newarklibrary featuring the legendary Bernard "Pretty" Purdie @bernardprettypurdie. Big shout out to my man Reggie @sunraw1977 for putting this together, to Skeme Richards @skemerichards, and to my man Jerome Jennings @iamjeromejennings for getting to check off a bucket list item. Also was pleasantly surprised to run into one of the Jamaica Kats, Mike Flythe (you know him for the rap on "Funkin' for Jamaica" by Tom Browne).
