Best Answer

Albert Cheeks was a student of the late Ki Whang Kim. He was known in the 70's as one of the greatest fighters of traditional Taekwondo. He was on the first team to go to Korean and fight for the USA in 1973. He brought home the bronze medal. He has fought and beaten some of the best fighters on the east coast and Midwest of America in the 70's. When asking the elders about him when he was active the usual response was: "that was one guy you didn't want to fight."
