I do mixed martial arts, mainly kickboxing.
As a 4-year-old, I saw two men competing in the ring, and I thought it was martial arts. I asked my parents if I could do martial arts. So, I was 5 or 6-years-old, and I was doing karate and jiu-jitsu. Later on, I started kickboxing. Then, it just progressed. I did a little bit of everything, but predominantly, I did kickboxing.
I've been training mixed martial arts and kickboxing so I think that will give me better overall conditioning to become a world champion.
When you think about martial arts here in the states, kickboxing was here in the '70s, and it kind of ran its course. But I always felt there was a place in combat sports for kickboxing.
Once I dedicated my time to mixed martial arts, I became careful about what I let into my mind. I made a goal of being the best on Earth in mixed martial arts and fighting. I wanted to build my mind into something good, not just of the world. I wanted to be different.
I do practice martial arts, more as a recreational thing, but a lot of my friends have been heavyweight champions the in mixed martial arts world.
Mixed martial arts or whatever you want to call it, it is still martial arts.
My background in promoting martial arts started in 1985 when we were doing PK Karate, which was on ESPN. Fast forward to when mixed martial arts became legal in California. I made the jump to MMA and never looked back.
To say martial arts, or the combative form - mixed martial arts - is not an art form is incorrect.
Ive been taking martial arts for a long time. I started with tae kwon do, and then I started taking karate and mixed martial arts.
You get a world-class athlete like Hershel Walker, who was a Heisman trophy winner and did some amazing things, but he had a martial arts background. He did kickboxing. He had a combat sports background. It was just rekindling that training and that martial arts workout ethic. He got back into it and did quite well.
I've been taking martial arts for a long time. I started with tae kwon do, and then I started taking karate and mixed martial arts.
I believe martial arts is always evolving and mixed martials arts is the top of the food chain.
Wrestling and kickboxing, like martial arts, combine a handful of skills. They're really an art form.
Miles and I had been looking to do a martial arts show for some time. Our first two movies that we wrote were "Lethal Weapon 4" and "Shanghai Noon" with Jackie Chan. Then we sort of got pulled into the superhero world, but then you look around at what's not on television and there wasn't really a martial arts shows. There are shows that do martial arts to a degree, but there's not a martial arts show.
I wanted to know what exactly martial arts is. When you look at martial arts films, the later ones became more and more exaggerated. It's like, wow, is martial arts only a show?
The kickboxing and the martial arts is so fun. It's like anything in school. You're not going to retain information unless you're interested in it.
