On stage stands Frank Sinatra, the chairman of the board himself, commanding the room like he owned it. And in many ways…
The dojo smelled like sweat and floor wax. 200 students sat cross-legged on polished hardwood, wearing white gear pants and white gear tops ranked by belt color in rows that stretched back to the cinder block wall.
