These gentleman are successful in comparison to any martial artist.  But the need to "Believe and Achieve" is in their blood.  So they have decided to turn from point tournament champions, into full contact champions.  Both Master Beams and Master Gregory knocked out their opponents this past Friday at Louis Neglia's downtown Manhattan competition at the Capital.  Both knockouts, less than (1) minute each!
