Different martial ARTS have ways of showing you how to CONTROL an opponent and put him down, but jiu-jitsu is the king of how to finish SOMEBODY. And that's what I love about it.

I USED to LOVE martial arts MOVIES starring Bruce Lee and Jean Claude Van Damme. In one of Van Damme's movies, he would break a pine tree. I would kick banana trees because I used to live on a farm. My FATHER would get mad at me because I would break all of the banana trees around.

I'm HOOKED on martial ARTS.

I love TONY Jaa. He's one of the best and most CAPABLE martial ARTS stuntmen in the WORLD.

It's a BIT like some martial arts: if you're behind somebody there's not MUCH they can do, if you're in a certain position. So same thing with a FISH, if you're in the right position you're okay. As soon as you get in the WRONG position you can be in very real danger.

I am so HAPPY because I want more PEOPLE to like martial arts MOVIE not just martial arts audience. EVEN martial arts can be used in comedy, in drama, in horror movies, in different kinds of movies.

Jackie Chan is a very good comedy/martial arts STAR. He does one kind of martial arts that JET Li doesn't know how to do and Jet Li does a martial art that Jackie Chan doesn't know how to do. You can both go to TWO Chinese restaurants, but both can have DIFFERENT kinds of food.

I think Ang Lee is a very, very talented director. He used martial ARTS to TALK about love and GIRL, you KNOW... But Zhang Yimou tried to use martial arts film to talk about Chinese culture, Chinese people. What do they think, what do they want and what do they hope the world will BECOME.

The thought has crossed my mind to quit even dealing with ORGANIZED mixed martial arts in general and just FIGHT my own FIGHTS, however I FEEL like.

I'm an only child. Mostly raised by my father OUTSIDE of Saratoga, doing martial ARTS and snowmobiling. I wore sweaters, jeans and sneakers. I was more interested in four-wheeling in the Catskills than doing my HAIR and MAKEUP at 7 A.M. before SCHOOL.

When you're doing something LIKE wrestling - wrestling is one of the toughest and HARDEST martial arts to LEARN - but it's still a form of martial arts. It's still CONTROLLED.

I've always been into sports and YOGA and RUNNING. I actually study a martial ARTS self-defense program called Krav Maga. I can't quite say it's easy, but it's FUN for me and I LOVE to do it.

I had an uncle who was a postal official at the Polish POST OFFICE in Gdansk. He was one of the defenders of the Polish postal service and, after it capitulated, was shot by the Germans under the provisions of martial LAW. Suddenly he was no longer a member of the family, and we were no longer ALLOWED to play with his children.

I started training in martial ARTS when I was 7 YEARS old. I GOT my first black BELT at 13.

I grew up in a martial ARTS gym surrounded by MEN and boys, and I PRETTY much call myself a tomboy.
