Kathy Long dominated women's kickboxing in the 1980's as a five-time World Kickboxing Champion and MMA fighter and briefly fought as a professional boxer; she holds an 8th Dan Black Belt in Kung Fu San Soo and 1st Dan Black Belt in Aikido.

The Queen of Mean and Princess of Pain (as she was known as a fighter!), joined Black Belt Magazine for the FightBack event for the Day of Legends. Proceeds from the event went to support Red Cross' efforts to help first responders and medical staff fighting COVID-19.

Long teaches MMA and kickboxing in Seattle, and in this training session, gave a lesson on the fundamentals of kickboxing.
