• Black Belt Magazine did an article way back in the January 1984 issue concerning martial arts and television. Can you guess who was prominently featured in this article? Sifu Tom Farrar, of course! And can you believe that he was already doing this for TWO YEARS before the article? Take a trip down memory lane as Sifu Tom Farrar pioneered the use of television for the instruction and the teaching of martial arts concepts over twenty years ago.
