A video was recently shared on YouTube about some of the major figures in the development of karate in Panamá and we wanted to share it with the greater ISKA community. After being in the Strategic Air Command in the mid-to-late 1950's, Master Cruz was then transferred to the Canal Zone in Panamá, where he spent a few years and taught hundreds of students. There has been a long lineage of great karateka from Panamá. This is not a complete list, but mentions many of the most famous players in the last 50 years.
