October 1985, featured the Rhee brothers, Simon and Phillip, "brothers in arms and feet."


Individually, each brother carved his own path within the martial arts world. Simon gained recognition as a skilled stuntman, fight choreographer, and actor, while Phillip distinguished himself as a martial artist, actor, and filmmaker.


Their talents ultimately converged in 1989 with the creation of Best of the Best. On October 10th, 2024 both will be inducted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame.
