This morning on Hot Country mornings with Jody & Melody we shared Luke Combs hilarious story about how he found that Willie Nelson is a 5th-degree black belt in a Korean martial art called GongKwon Yusul and he’s also a 2nd-degree black belt in Taekwondo. Say what?!!
Luke and Willie were at his compound in Maui, and a bunch of guys were all playing poker, when Willie went around the corner to a place where only Luke could see.
Here’s what Luke said, “And he stands there, arms out, like full Karate Kid and starts just kicking this punching bag. Tossing crane kicks, dude, he’s 84 [at this point] just hammering this punching bag. And I’m looking at the poker table, and I’m like, what is happening? Nobody sees this happen.
“And then he walks back in, doesn’t say a peep about it. Sits back down like nothing happened . . . and I’m like, that’s my moment. I’ve had my moment with Willie Nelson.”
