Episode 16-Gold Medal Martial Arts with Grandmaster Herb Perez

In 1987 Taekwondo competitor Herb Perez changed the modern Taekwondo landscape by becoming the 1st American to defeat a Korean athlete and become World Taekwondo Champion. In 1992 he earned the distinction of becoming a US Olympic Gold medalist as Taekwondo was making its bid to become a fully recognized medal sport. These are just a few of his amazing accomplishments, in and outside of the taekwondo arena.
