The conversation
About Mark Aycock.
Mark Aycock sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 89, “Isshinryu Hall of Fame & A Judo Family Legacy”.
Mark is an Isshinryu karateka from Chattanooga, Tennessee. He was inducted into the Isshinryu Hall of Fame in 2011, the same event where he and Nick first met, and he calls that induction one of the pinnacles of his career.
He has also done work in the entertainment industry and acting, and he shares how a stolen gold medal became a scene he wrote.
Mark talks about faith, the friendships the Hall of Fame creates, and doing things against the odds.
