    It was my 1st love of any sports. I didn't have that many fights, but My actual 1st fight I was 8 years old.
    I wonder, do they still have them do that at that age???

    Yes, my instructor was off the boat Korean, barely spoke any English. It’s very much like Akido but with more kicks. But for his school it focused more on breaks and throws since we were also learning Taekwondo.

    Very cool. Always thought I would take it up at some point but never did. Had an interest in it from a young age, Gerry Cooney lived down the block from me.

    That Holmes fight was very disappointing around here and Cooney didnt take it well at all, ended his career basically. Stories of him being drunk around town, getting thrown out of bars, not training anymore started surfacing after that fight. He was too green to face Holmes, should have waited a little longer.

    Since you are focused on Korean martial arts, I trust you have looked into Sinanju? Other martial arts are shadows; Sinanju is the Sun.
