Nice find Steffen - he is very young there and good to see the girls going hard in the highlights at the start

Actually the yellow belt that Sensei Gary fought was from my old club. He had only been training karate for 6 months at that stage....and that was his first ever tournament!

The match went into 2 extensions.

Amazing when I look back at that tape and think how well he did

And he had a yellow belt? That's really rather quick

I would have thought that it was more impressive his skills against an experienced international fighter in his first ever knock-down match, rather than his grade, but each to his own...

But Gary wasn't an experienced international fighter then - he was a young up and comer only a green belt himself and probabley only about 18 or so
