...not a sound was heard from us mere mortals as the three of them swaggered up to the drinks machine. You could hear a pin drop in the silence. After almost 30 seconds, Ameris pipes up...'has anyone got any change for the drinks machine for Master Cho?'. Nobody had shit! I think Dave Oliver sorted him out with a tin of something after much scrabbling for change. I was thinking he could probably have busted it clean open with one punch.

I went to a couple of his seminars in the UK in 1990's. He WAS the master who was always keen to get physical. He spent a long time I remember just punching the breeze block walls of the leisure centre while we went through our warm up. During a break we were all hanging around the drinks machine, when in walks Cho with his hench men (Ameris and the other one)...it all went deadly quiet as they walked slowly through us as we scrambled out of his way......
