I don't see the relevance of being brought up in Philadelphia. (City of

My understanding is that it is an uncommon philosophy and what is more uncommon

Quaker's are renowned for their good works and pacifism so a Quaker wrestler
sounds incongruous. But a martial arts master denouncing violence sounds right.
