Fascinating background to your extensive collection, Lorenzo.

Looks like he was rather good at Tae Kwon Do (I did some when younger, but not that well!). Does he still keep in practice?

[Guest IMHF]

Yes he does and he has many awards he received while he traind Saddam's Army Officers....

I have a picture of a wound he survived from while taken on 20 something insurgents while he was walking home.

They stabed him in his back, but he still took them on..

This happened in 2005

You can see in the pictures we took togehter he is doing fine:
