The Monkees Go Karate

The editors of HULLABALOO wanted to do an article on Karate Technique with step by step instructions. So we asked Gene Trindl, our special Monkees fotog to get an informative practical guide to Karate using Micky, Mike, Peter & Davy as our guest karate experts. We hope you’ll learn a lot from this guide.

WARNING: We cannot guarantee you’ll win a black belt after reading this. But, then again, who knows?
