Michael’s Rotten Tomatoes Rating ( Photo Credit – Instagram ) Michael released in theaters last weekend, and the response among critics was divisive, to say the least. The film follows the life and career of the legendary “King of Pop” Michael Jackson, but stops short of addressing the highly controversial allegations against him later in his career. However, despite what the critics say, audiences seem to have warmed up to the film considerably, given that it has set a record for the highest audience-rated biopic on the website.

Was Elvis Presley Really A 7th-Degree Black Belt Trained By Top Karate Masters?

Published by Webster

Was Elvis Presley truly passionate for Karate?(Photo Credit –Facebook) Elvis Presley wasn’t just a Hollywood idol, he was a 7th dan black belt in Shotokan Karate by 1974. So, how did this global superstar earn such a high rank in a discipline requiring years of devotion and modesty? It all started back in 1958 when Presley was stationed in Germany as a U.S. soldier. With time on his hands and curiosity to spare, he began training with Juergen Seydel, a German Shotokan master. That interest didn’t fade. On paid leave, Presley traveled to Paris, where he trained under Tetsuji Murakami, who would become the Shotokan master of Europe. His teachers, by the way, were no slouches — they were giants in the field. With their guidance and the Change of Habit actor’s love for his chosen martial art, he earned his black belt in approximately two years, which is pretty much unheard of. By 1960, Presley had earned his black belt. Reports say he kept training after that. But there’s no official record of him climbing …
