Jim Kelly had his dojo on Crenshaw between MLK and Vernon. It was almost directly across the street from our dojo. My teacher was Steve Sanders, who was the dude Kelly handed over the dojo to when his character in Enter the Dragon left on his trip.
We were rivals and used to fight each other in tournaments all over Southern Cal back in the day. One time we busted over there and started a fight in their place. Got suspended for a month as I recall. Yeah, he was a bad ass.
I'd call Jim Brown a tough guy. |
Damn! I remember that dojo! And look at you, startin' mess!
And Kelly had the dopest pork chop sideburns in the game. |

Dude on the left is obviously master Kelly, the other dude was my teacher, Grandmaster Steve Sanders. |
The image didn't show. |
Here's part of an interview with Kelly pertaining to Steve Sanders:
BB: Were there any competitors back then who had such exceptional control that they could stop a full-power punch just short of your face?
KELLY: Yes, Steve Sanders. He was the greatest fighter to ever come out of Ed Parker's kenpo system. He was an incredible fighter, but he was the kind of guy you knew wouldn't hurt you. He had the best control, but I think he was a little too nice in the ring. People try to make us out to be enemies because we competed a lot against each other, but he's a great friend, and no one can take that away from us. We used to spar all the time, and once even had schools one block from each other. We worked out to- gether all the time, in the dojo, in the park, wherever we could find room to spar
And here is a photo of the two together near the bottom of the page:

Very cool. Along with being a tough guy, he seems like his heart's in the right place. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel |
