Reminiscing With the Legends

Donald McCluney

Grandmaster Donald McCluney shares the journey from Shelby, North Carolina, to Hall of Fame martial artist — through 47 years of tournaments, six decades of training under Grandmaster Charles Burris, and a 46-year marriage to his late wife Cynthia. A heartfelt conversation about humility, faith, family, and what it really means to be a champion.

Terry & Justice Floyd

A father-son conversation like no other. Terry Floyd and his son Justice sit down to share how a two-red-light town in Aynor, South Carolina became home to one of the most disciplined martial arts families in the Carolinas, and how the Floyd name became something worth protecting on and off the mat.

Charles Burris

Charles Burris

Grandmaster Charles Burris sits down to share 58 years of martial arts wisdom, beginning with the day in 1967 he walked into what he thought was a dance class and walked out a karate student. A conversation about humility, fair play, and the single word he's known for across the Carolinas: patience.

What Happened When

Six Decades of Kicks, Championships & Brotherhood

A once-in-a-generation gathering. Bill "Superfoot" Wallace, Joe Corley, Sam Chapman, Bobby Tucker, Jay Bell, Marty Knight & host Magic Johnson sit around one table and trade the stories that built American sport karate — from Okinawan dojos and Marine Corps tank decks to the Battle of Atlanta, Ted Turner, Elvis Presley, and legendary rivalries on national television.
