I trained with Jeff Smith at a seminar (Va Karate Club) Richmond Va-He is truly a pioneer , not to mention one of the baddest in the world!- You were just happy to survive-and get out of the ring alive!
In those days, pioneer fighters and champions fought whoever available to them. They had to start from somewhere-else and they did it well. That is why full-contact kickboxing is praciced in many different countries today.

World champion.USA champion.which is more correct.Past starts to haunt aye??. World means the whole world not USA.respect others and you get respects.
I trained under Jeff's trainer Jim Ed Jones at the Olympia boxing center in Falls Church, Va.. Jim said that Jeff was the best street fighter he ever saw. These guys were bad motherfuckas. Jim Jones is in prison now for shooting his neighbor. Dispute over leafs in the yard. lol
goagaogkasopg, it's easy to run your mouth from behind a keyboard and 35 years in the future looking at the beginnings of a sport. But that all you have isn't it. Your imaginings.
In the 1970's Grand Master Jhoon Rhee started full contact karate, trained & mentored 6 world champions. Jeff Smith was first generation full contact martial artist and one of the first to fight in 3 realms. Full contact, semi full contact and points. I have had my behind beaten up by this man more times than I can count. I was sent home black and blue by him, Michael Coles world welter weight champion and Wayne Van Buren. Jeff is the reason I won first place in Bruce Lee's Birthday tournament.
i graduated from jeff smith's school as a black belt. hes a super cool guy to meet, he has so much to teach you in the way of tae-kwon-do/life in general, really chill dude to talk to.
Great knockout by a great fighter in Jeff Smith. Marc Costello
