Iowa’s Quinn Early explains kung-fu’s place in his life today and what it takes to achieve the highest degree belt.
I practice kung-fu pretty much every day now for about 1-2 hours. I’ve actually been teaching yang style tai chi and Choy Li Fut kung-fu the last 10 years. I have about six black-belt students of my own.
In 1985, Iowa’s Quinn Early was part of the Iowa team that was ranked No. 1 when it lost to Ohio State, but still rebounded to make the Rose Bowl. He compares that situation to the one the current Hawkeyes are in after a loss to Northwestern.
I think the measure of a true champion is not when you continue to win, but what you do in the face of adversity.
Iowa’s Quinn Early explains how kung-fu helped him during his football career.
I’ve always been a big martial arts fan. When I was a kid, I studied karate for a lot of years. I’m a huge Bruce Lee fan.
Former Hawkeyes WR Quinn Early explains his love of drawing and painting.
My older brother was an artist, and he got me into drawing when I was about six or seven.
