I've been training super hard at the Lopez Taekwondo Academy in Houston, which belongs to my brother Jean. For me, I think confidence is the biggest thing; it's all mental. I train with the best of the best, including my brother Steven, a five-time world champion who won Olympic gold medals.
I have always been a big fan of combat sports - ever since I can remember, it was something that appealed to me and something that I thought I would be good at.
I'm hooked on martial arts.
Unfortunately, I don't train enough on an everyday basis to be a black belt, but if I put my mind to it I think I could definitely move very quickly in that world.
I've done taekwondo striking my entire life.
I'm a huge UFC fan. I train. I do jiu-jitsu, taekwondo.
My dad had me in Taekwondo when I was a kid, but I didn't retain much of that.
I have a black belt and used to compete when I was a kid! I did the Junior Olympics.
I quite like thai boxing. But then I'm not surprised because I did taekwondo and karate and judo and all of that when I was a kid, and then just stopped when I got a bit older.
What people don't know is that I'm a blackbelt in jujitsu, which I've been for 20 years, and I've been boxing since I've been 15 years old - those are things that come natural to me.
I think our legacy will always be there. My brothers and I have carved a path for all taekwondo players, not just in the U.S.
This is a fighter sport.
I've danced my whole life. Martial arts is just fun for me, it's all choreographed a bit like dance. I have done Muay Thai and Wushu, which is cool because it's very fluid dance. I also do Tricking. It's kind of like Taekwondo with the big kicks and flips and showier aspects of martial arts.
K-1 is the sport where I started. This is my first love, and I find K-1 more attractive and more suitable for our Croatian fans than MMA.
My mom took me to a taekwondo class, and I fell in love. I was seven years old.
Each culture has its own form of staged combat, evolved from its particular method of street fighting and cleaned up for presentation as a spectacle, e.g. savate, Cornish wrestling, karate, kung-fu.
When you get in taekwondo, it teaches you the life skills of respect, self control, discipline-that's why I love it. I really attribute those skills to really getting over my dad's death. If I didn't have that, I would have lost it.
I have a taekwondo background, but I also try to invent new moves and make sure that when I step into the Octagon, I'm a different fighter.
I took karate classes for a few years. Taekwondo. I'd love to do a movie role where I could do some karate.
In what other sport do you get a 15-second break every hour?
I took my time with the sport of MMA. I wrestled, won the Olympics. I boxed for years.
I did takwondo from the time I was pretty young and also played I did taekwondo for martial arts and then also played football, baseball, and basketball against older kids because of my brother being older. I learned pretty quickly to not be intimidated and to not back down.
I've done a lot of training in martial arts. I started out in warring tempo, I did sports jujitsu, and I've also practiced extreme martial arts.
I started doing martial arts when I was a kid. I don't often get that kind of role, although I get to do it periodically, which is a lot of fun for me.
I'm a martial arts buff, so anything martial arts.
