In late April 2024 I had the chance to see old friends and meet some of my fans. It was great to see Master Phillip and Simon Rhee as that completes a 44 year circle of fate.\u00a0 Those men made me into the Martial Artist, and peaceful Warrior that I am today. They taught me how to be a man. I am forever grateful. When I hugged Master Simon Rhee I said: \u201cI am still your Grasshopper sir\u201d and Simon laughed. In the meeting with the expo promoters, I hugged Master Phillip Rhee immediately\u2026 while he was sitting down! And he hugged me back\u2026 it was automatic. Taimak was there, Don the Dragon Wilson, and Cynthia Rothrock and her husband Rob, Keith Cooke, and the incredible Billy Blanks.<\/p>\n

I also met a great Tae Kwon Do Grand Master. GM Victor Teran and his students from International Tae KwonDo Academy in Aurora, Colorado. They helped me with my demo and allowed me to visit their school. GM Teran is a great teacher. I consider him and his students family. That is the beauty of being a Tae Kwon Do Master\/Grand Master. You have family all over the world.<\/p>\n
