I really want to thank Jadi Tention for this interview. He came up with the idea, coordinated getting the Legends together, and came up with the interview questions. All I did was hold a camera and upload the video. It was really Jadi Tention who brought this video to you and all BlitzKick did was assist him with his vision. Please thank him personally when you get a chance.... Jessica Robeson (a.k.a. Marsha Brady)

I agree with pretty much all of what was said! Wonderful interview! I think a way to create depth in how good the fighters are is to make tournaments a round robin event... keep the same weight classes have everyone fight everyone and then the winners of the weight classes fight each other until there is an overall winner!

Great interview by Jadi Tention. These guys were the great fighters of their era. Also, I wondered whether there would be any discussion of Alvin Prouder, and wasn't disappointed.

@KarateGirl1321 - They weren't dissing other fighters. They stated legitimate opinions about their era vs the present. Jadi was asking some pointed questions, and they gave honest, informed, detailed answers.

Coming from a bias standpoint .I don't think they were being disrespectful I think the point once we put our emotions to the side,is that a side kick should be a side kick and a punch should be a punch and the quality as a whole is on a decline.we have replaced fighting with flips and tricks and half chambered kicks. The truth is the truth we all need to step our games up and bring it back to good quality techniques
