Haha loved that episode. Everyone had great chemistry and was such a fun listen!

[@CuongChanster]

Love the personal in depth story of sports martial arts of these legends!

[@muricanmike]

I remember the US Open airing on ESPN! That felt forever ago! All of you are legends. I competed in Taekwondo in the early 2000s, so I never got onto the sports karate scene. Always wanted to hang with the karate folks though! Super jealous!

This makes me sad because it just reminds me of the people who wished they knew how to trick but don’t and will harm someone for their identity in martial arts. Much like, Matthew, who used to be a nearby neighbor of mine, who looks like he could be related to Tom Cruise, at 134 Capricorn, Irvine CA 92618. I’m pretty sure he wants my identity in martial arts and is trying to harm me. I believe.
