As a kid coming up in the 70s and 80s, professional Full Contact Karate (American Kickboxing) was a fast growing sport. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, Karate tournament fighters paved the way for something new. I would watch "PKA Kick of The 80s" weekly on ESPN to see awesome match ups. Here are a few of my favorite fighters
Jerry "The Flash" Rhome (Heavyweight and Super Heavyweight Champ)
