Cobra I don't know where you got that quote from but TKD is not 4,500 years old. Not even close. Korea was not even unified then. They were maybe just entering the bronze age and discovering agriculture. Nevermind that Tae Kwon Do is about dates back to right after WWII and is of Japanese/Okinawan origin. So, ok, Chuck was the first white guy to get an 8th degree black belt in the 50 years TKD has been around. Well 50 years doesn't exactly leave that much time for white guys to have been around long enough to rack up the higher belts. I know this is off topic and all, but I see something absurd like that and I have to jump on it.

Speaking of which...yeah, Gracie's getting whipped by TKD guys. LMFAO. Right.
