Saw the new Karate Kid movie a couple weeks ago and I have to say I wasn’t that impressed. It wasn’t really bad, but it didn’t really inspire me the way I remember being inspired by the first version. (Is it particularly telling that I was old enough to watch movies when the first version was released?) In any case, what is pretty inspiring is master Gary Douglas at Tri-State TaeKwon-Do.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when we sat down for this Spotlite Profile interview. Maybe a lot of talk about physical fitness and mental toughness – the fight mentality. And while there’s no doubt that Gary Douglas could kick my butt, what I discovered was a humble, low-key guy who puts the well-being of his students above self-promotion – or anything else for that matter. Like I said, inspiring. Check it out:
