That truly is a great lineage. Some of the very best. For those that do not know Kraiguar Smith is one of the finest fighters from So. Ca. He put it on the line for many years and has beaten the best. Thanks for posting Kraiguar.
Respectfully,
Bob White

Just keeping it real, Doc. I pray that all is well with you.
Peace and Blessings.

Peace and Blessings.

Kraiguar, I'm envious How long were you able to study with Dr. Chapel? That must have been fascinating.

 

[Kraiguar]

Thank you for the kind words, Bob. It has been truly an honor for me to have been a part of such a magical time with you and so many others. I will treasure those moments especially Mr. Parker's Open Tournaments we had lots of fun creating. Peace and Blessings.

Doc is truly like a big brother to me and many others. I have known him for four decades now and in those early days we were all so very hungry for knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Doc gave us so much that it has helped develop some of us to better human beings as well.
Mr. Parker told me that he considered Doc Chapel to be a genius and that there were things that he did for him that no one else could.
We have all received keys to certain doors, we just need to find the right door and go in. God willing.
If you are empty and need something truly special that came straight from the source which has evolved tremendously, call the Doctor.
Peace and Blessings.

You know you didn't have to mention the "four decades" part. Now I really feel old.

Peace.

Because you knew GM Kraiguar when he was in diapers, right? That's my story and I'm sticking with it
