Josh Quayhagen’s father moved around the country in a Navy family. Once
the family finally settled into an area with some stability, he found
his main sporting interest: Karate.
The interest expanded to his own parents, and then later to his son. But
young Quayhagen remembers being frightened at first of actually facing
an opponent.
That’s what makes his first karate memory so interesting and so telling for his later competition.
