He was an actor who did a great movie series of Billy Jack. Great story line and quotes. Done in such a way to make think abt racism, society, generation gaps, politics and what a person should believe.

He introduced the world to HapKiDo with GRANDMASTER BONG SOO HAN who did all the martial arts stunts and choreography.

He started to study a little after the movie Born Losers. He does a little in Trial of Billy Jack the 3rd movie.

He was a student of HapKiDo so yes he was a martial artist.

'I've been itching to kill somebody, it might as well be you'

'A Man that doesn't Go his own way is nothing'

There are some great quotes and words of wisdom strewn through out the movie

He was a good man. RIP Billy Jack.
