"Tommie Little is defined as a former Marine Drill and Judo Instructor, lawyer, law professor,coach, international martial artist and former state legislator. He is a true character, tough as nails, brilliant, ingenious, creative and incredibly human. He also marches to a different drummer than most of us. Some people think he is nuts. I assure you, even his enemies know he is not, he is fiercely independent and hates the idea that others can influence or control his life."
