Mike Stone (born June 29, 1943)[1] is an American martial artist, karate fighter, fight choreographer, stuntman, actor, author, and motivational speaker.
Stone began studying Shorin-ryu Karate earning his black belt in only six months[2] under Herbert Peters while stationed at Fort Chaffee in Arkansas.
In Chicago that same year, Stone scored victories over Ray Cooper and Mills Crenshaw to win the First World Karate Tournament.
Also that year, Stone again won Ed Parker's International Karate Championship by defeating Art Pelela and Tony Tulleners.
Three years later, Stone won the World Professional Karate Championship on November 24, 1968 by beating Bob Taian by points decision.
Stone and Priscilla would eventually split up because he sold a story to the Globe tabloid entitled "How I Stole Elvis Presley's Wife From Him".
