In 1968, I fought and won the world middleweight karate championship by defeating the world's top fighters. I then held that title until 1974, when I retired undefeated.
I started doing karate when I was 11.
I did karate for years and years and years.
I don't know karate, but I know ka-razy!
I had a bit of a martial arts background from when I was a teenager: I did a bit of karate.
I did a bit of karate - I'm a blackbelt - so I know how to move.
I took three years of karate because of Bruce Lee, you know. I was a green belt.
My karate skills are very limited. I'm a green belt.
My father is a Japanese Shotokan karate master, so I have been training karate with my family since I was three years old. I got my black belt in karate at 13 and got introduced to judo and sumo shortly after.
From 1964 to 1968, I won many state, national and international amateur karate titles.
