Elvis' old dojo now a barber shop

Well, it wasn't exactly "Elvis' dojo" but he did make this dojo in Nashville somewhat famous after he did a demonstration there.

Elvis was going to make a documentary about the martial arts and this film of him doing some techniques was going to be part of that documentary. Sadly however the documentary was never completed.

Fast forward many years later and that martial arts dojo is now a barber shop.

So if you are in the Nashville area and you want to step on holy ground, and of course if you need a haircut, give them a call. They are open Tuesday thru Saturday and reservations are recommended.
