My Kuk Sool Won instructor was Gary Evarts, a five-time world champion in the style.

Sorry guys I just couldn't let this opportunity pass by.
The fact that there are sooooo many "world champions" in ma is one of the reasons why perhaps, we aren't taken that seriously by grown ups!
I mean, the Jim Carey sketch springs to mind straight away, and for those who have not seen it : www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_vvI26NnwE
BTW not disrespecting in anyway the Champs you guys have trained with, they are there for a reason. Just trying to inject a bit of humour Bushi before you chop me.

I was fortunate enough to have a couple of lessons from Chuck Liddell and I did some light sparring with Dennis Alexio.

My old coach was a world kickboxing champion. Holds a lot of belts in different organzations and such.
The man knows how to fight plus he was/is a great trainer! |

| I haven't been quite as lucky as you guys. But my biggest claim to fame is that I got to spar with a guy who fought Wolverine/Hugh Jackman in the upcoming X-men movie lol. I think that maybe the scene might be getting cut though. The guy is pretty amazing in terms of the fancy spinning kicks and stuff he does but I think it's all too flashy and not practical enough..... In saying that, I could barely get a glove on him. |
