Interview on the Undisputed "Queen of Martial Arts Films Cynthia Rothrock
Cynthia Rothrock is one of the greatest martial arts / action film
stars in the world. Few other performers can match her presence
and energy on the silver screen. She is the undisputed "Queen of
Martial Arts films.
Cynthia is not only a great action star, but also an incredibly
accomplished martial artist. She holds 5 Black Belts in various
Far Eastrn martial disciplines. These Arts include: Tang Soo Do
(Korean), Tae Kwon Do (Korean), Eagle Claw (Chinese), Wu
Shu (contemporary Chinese), and Northern Shaolin (classical
Chinese).
Growing up in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Cynthia began her martial
arts career at the age of 13 years taking lessons at her parents
best friends private gym. Her natural abilities were quickly
recognized by her martial arts teachers and they encouraged her
to enter open karate competition. As a Forms and Weapons
Champion, Cynthia Rothrock has traveled the world performing
the intricacies of her martial arts arsenal. With precision flare and
panache she has demonstrated before hundreds of thousands of
spectators across the globe. Her "action packed" self-defense
and fight scenario performances garnered her the reputation as a
consummate professional in th World of Martial Arts.
Cynthia soon became a household name in martial arts circles
and to this day has been featured on the cover of every martial
arts magazine in the world including over 300 stories and articles
in national and international publications.
Cinematically, Cynthia burst onto the scene like a stick of
dnamite after "starring" in a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial
in the early 1980's. Soon Producers and Directors recognized
her martial arts skills and her career began a steady climb
upward. Cynthia spent five years in Hong Kong starring in Asian
produced motion pictures. Her array of foreign and domestic
action-films are as impressive as her martial arts and weapon
talents. She has starred in over 30 "action" films and/or video
productions (made for TV). Her "image" and "career" is perhaps
followed more closely (by martial arts enthusiast) than any other
"martial arts" actors except Chuck Norris or Jackie Chan. |
