Clief was a student of Goju-Ryu masters Peter Urban, Frank Ruiz, and
Moses Powell, as well as Wing Tsun founder Leung Ting, Modern Arnis Remy
Presas, and Brazilian Jiujitsu Joe Moreira. In 1971 he created his own style of martial arts, called "Chinese Goju," attempting to unify Japanese style goju-ryu with its roots in Chinese martial arts. He competed in both full-contact and non-contact karate tournaments in New
York then internationally, going on to win several national tournaments
and world championships.
Ron Van Clief's first acting job came when he was selected to star in the Hong Kong film Black Dragon in 1974. He was the first Westerner to receive top billing in Hong Kong, where he established an acting career during the 1970's. Some of his film roles were films which capitalized on the then-novelty of an African American martial artist, following in the tradition of Jim Kelly's role in "Enter the Dragon". He starred alongside Leo Fong in a Filipino action film called "Bamboo Trap" in 1975. Van Clief's film roles earned him the nickname "The Black Dragon." He was also the fight choreographer for the film "The Last Dragon".
On December 16, 1994, Ron Van Clief returned to the ring to fight in the 4th Ultimate Fighting Championship, as the oldest competitor to date to fight in the UFC at the age of 51. Van Clief's sole fight in the tournament was against Brazilian jiu-jitsu exponent Royce Gracie. Gracie won the match by submission and Ron went on to serve as the commissioner of the UFC. He retired from competition in 2002 after winning the All American Karate Championship at 60 years of age. Ron Van Clief competed in over 900 tournaments in over 40 years on the tournament circuit. He retired as a 5 time world karate / kung fu champion and 15 time all American champion.
He is also the author and creator of a number of instructional books and video recordings.
