Tetsuhiko Asai was one of the most unique legends to come out of the Japan Karate Association (JKA). Extremely nimble, he employed ducking, jumping and spinning techniques against his opponents, making it very difficult to defend against his attacks. He is a former JKA All Japan Karate Grand Champion, defeating the likes of Hiroshi Shirai and Takayuki Mikami on the way to winning the title in 1961. Below are some of the magazine covers to feature this Shotokan legend.
