RECENT INTERVIEW
What is mixed martial arts (MMA)?
It's a fighting sport, combining a blend of kickboxing,
wrestling, judo and jiu-jitsu. It's been around for 15 to
20 years, so it's stil fairly new. I'm currently under
contract with PRIDE for five or six more events, and I'm
happy with thèm at the moment. I've been called one
of the most explosive mixed martial artists in the
world. Last November, I participated in the middleweight
tournament for PRIDE. I won the first fight,
but due to a serious biceps injury, I
lost a close, grueling decision
in the final match.
What do people say when they find out what you do?
Their first reaction is, "That stuff is crazy!" And they look at you in
awe. Most people know it now because of all the UFC (Ultimate
Fighting Championship) and PRIDE shows.
Do women like what you do?
The women love it.
Describe your path here.
My father is Korean, and my mother is French. I
basicaly grew up
in France and Vancouver, (Canada),and I grew up pretty poor, so
I started working at 14 - dishwasher, Wal-Mart, painter and landscaper,
tourism in Vancouver, al kinds of clerical 9-to-5 work.
I spent a lot of time wrestling, training in hapkido and Brazilan
jiu-jitsu. In 2000, I quit everything and got jobs as a bouncer and
started training hard. Then I became a full-time jiu-jitsu teacher,
and then evolved into MMA. I've spent nine and a half years fighting,
and only started realy supporting myself financialy the past
few years. Small promotions only pay if you win, so early (in my
career), I was more broke than when I started.
