It's going to be hard. at first You're going to lose. A lot. Don't worry wins and losses or whether your cardio is good enough. Worry about how you feel after class. If you feel like you're exhausted but you can't wait to get back the next day, it's for you. Black belts are just white belts that never got tired of failing. Good luck man!

    This is the most wholesome combat flick I've ever seen. Class act and entertainment by both men, without effort. Tom didn't mention his only loss was by injury, that alone is other worldly. Hall didn't boast about all his records and accolades. Just 2 men getting down and becoming better friends in a combat sense and learning from each other. Tom being more the teacher lol but still. Class act. How could you not support and respect both of these men? Sheesh such prime examples of good humans. We need more Tom's and Eddie's in this world.

      They both are giant, giant men that are stronger and tougher than all the men around them in pretty much any room.
      And they are both so mutually respecting, but would be to anyone in kind.
      What’s crazy to me is how both of them make the other’s size feel almost normal-until you remember the “short” guy is 6 3 and near 400 lbs and strongest man in the world.. while the “tall” guy six and a half feet is a 0.0001% professional and experienced fighter who even at his taller height has legs bigger than or nearly as big as the strongest man in the world and knows how to kick.

Growing up with a brother 10yrs senior than me and the amount of fights and beating that I got from him when I was a kid-teen later on made me to never have a fear against anybody no matter how big they are.

They'll come in just trying to muscle everything, get butt hurt that they can't just have their way with people and then try to hurt you when you're just showing them how to apply an arm lock. Seeing Eddie's humility and the awareness of his size and strength with the care that he uses when applying the guillotine just demonstrates what a good guy he is. You can see that he isn't trying to prove anything to anybody. He's just trying to learn the technique and get it right.
