When I was younger and I went to a friend’s house, and that friend has a younger sibling and didn’t have a friend over, the younger sibling was going to play with us whether my friend likes it or not. That was how it’s gong to roll because nobody should be left out. That mentality just always carried over for me… So when I started teaching, it’s important that every single student felt that…

Episode 776 - Mr. Mike Stone

Mr. Mike Stone is a martial arts practitioner, instructor, and actor among others. He’s from Hawaii.

It’s very simple about life and you’re making it very difficult for yourself. All you have to do is be the very best you can be, ALWAYS. This was the mindset.

Mr. Mike Stone - Episode 776

A native of Hawaii, Mike Stone was born and raised in the island of Maui. He was a star athlete in various sports events during his student days and joined the Army after graduating from high school. It was while stationed at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, that he met his karate instructor, Sgt. Herbert Peters, who had just returned from Okinawa. Mike started in Shorin-ryu and earned his brown belt in three months. He then established a world record for achieving his black belt rank in only six months from the day he started training.

His legendary rise into karate superstardom came from winning all the major tournaments in his prime – from the Nationals in Virginia to the Internationals in California, the United States Karate Championships in Texas to the World Championships in Chicago. He never lost in any of his individual black belt matches as well as in kata competitions. He is recognized as the only black belt to retire undefeated with 91 consecutive black belt victories. He was inducted into Black Belt’s Hall of Fame twice as Fighter of the Year in 1971 and Instructor of the Year in 1994.

In the 1980s, Mike Stone ventured into writing and movie production. His original screenplay with the title Dance of Death, which was released as Enter the Ninja, started the worldwide ninja craze in the silver screen. He also acted, produced, choreographed and directed other martial arts movies, including the American Ninja series. He authored a martial arts book, American Eclectic Karate, in 1983.

In this episode, Mr. Mike Stone talks about almost every aspect of his life including what he’s doing presently. Listen to learn more!
