which month of back belt is he in?

Whichever one was on the stands when I posted (late June of this year). Probably August, given how far ahead they run? I'm not sure.

It wasn't about him--he was the demonstration dummy. I assume someone is trying to give him a little exposure!

The current (Dec. 2003) issue of Black Belt has a brief article on Taimak, who is taking on the Patrick Swayze bouncer role in a stage production of the movie Road House. He is a 7th degree black belt in Chinese Goju under Ron Van Clief, it says.

What ever happened to the kid who played Jr. ? If I remember correctly he was a 5th dan in Chinese Goju. I am presently having a brain freeze, so I can't think of his instructors name. Who also founded the system of Chinese Goju, and I believe he studied with Peter Urban? The gent who played Jr., was a very talented martial artist. Which made a basically b-movie worth watching.

He was in one of the magazines a few months ago...Can't recall which one though.....His name is Taimak and he is starring in the Stage version of the movie Roadhouse off broadway I believe. He is a 7th in Goju under Shidoshi Ron Van Clief.

This movie is one of my favorites too. When I hear the music in the movie it kinda takes me back. I'm still kinda stuck in the '80s.
Awesome fight choreography.
wasn't Ernie Reyes the choreographer for this movie?

I saw this movie on opening night. Ended up sitting in theater to watch it a second time. My buddies and I went and saw it every weekend til it left town.
