I believe 3 Kimber brothers in total all of them involved in martial arts with Tom and Dick becoming full contact world champions. The Kimber father involved in martial arts git his boys into it aswell.
I believe they group up a church going family I think Dick has always stayed involved in the sport one way or another as a career with teaching fitness / kickboxing afterwards.
He had some small roles in a few films aswell.
Despite the mean look Dick appears to be a very kind God fearing man that possessed especially good kicks.

and his kicks are really something especially considering his build
and great that he stayed involved

Indeed it is he’s a stockier / barrel built kind of guy that can whirl these kicks left and right especially.
The spinning back / front fists were a norm of this era so cool, more so the back fist.
I think curtis bush landed a few front ones in his day, Dicks brother Tom fought Curtis Bush in his retirement bout. Not the full bout here unfortunately though.

Had to check back on this one again. What a fight, Rhome is up there with one of Alexio toughest and most accomplished opponents.
What a lead left leg kick on Alexio has a bit of a hop to it on the spot that just blasts people!
