I do give credence to the psychological domience however I did notice that when it came down to throwing blows the kung fu kids stances and form went right out the window. The other kid just plan...
He died in March 2002 and I do not know if he appointed a sucessor. He very well might have but I dont think so. I know that he does have two son's but am not sure either is overseeing the...
