Episode 92. 25 Hall Of Fames And An Honest Take
The conversation
About Marty Robbins.
Marty Robbins sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 92, “25 Hall Of Fames And An Honest Take”.
Marty is an Isshinryu karateka Nick has known for close to 20 years, since they met at the Isshinryu Hall of Fame, which Nick calls the Super Bowl of Isshinryu.
Beyond karate, he trained jiu-jitsu for a while and got into boxing because his dad had been a boxer and he always wanted to be like his dad. His first fight was a pro fight, and he admits it didn't go well.
Marty shares honest thoughts on tournament judging and rules, and appreciation for the board members working to make the Hall of Fame better every year.
