My Signature Move: The Jump Spinning Back Kick
Grand Master Park almost never talked about other fighters. That’s why I was very surprised when he told me about this one fighter he had seen, whose abilities he admired. That fighter’s name? Mike. He was a world champion fighter. He was also one of the sweetest, nicest, and most soft-spoken people I have ever […]

Schools with a decent educational program require 3-4 years to achieve a first degree black belt. First to second […]
Knowing When Not To Fight
I’m no different than anyone else. When someone cuts me off in traffic, part of me would love to teach them a lesson. But I don’t. The same training that taught me how to inflict physical harm on someone taught me when to inflict physical harm on someone. And when not to. We often question […]
