Cynthia Rothrock is an American martial artist and actress specializing in martial arts films. Rothrock is five-time World Karate Champion in forms and weapons between 1981 and 1985. These categories are not combat-oriented, being displays of fluidity of movement rather than fighting, and are therefore not segregated into male and female categories but fully open to both sexes. She holds six Black belts in various Far Eastern martial disciplines, including Tang Soo Do , Tae Kwon Do , Eagle Claw , Wu Shu , Northern Shaolin , and Pai Lum Tao Kung Fu . She received her sixth degree black belt... in Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan in 2006 and was tested by Grand Master Robert Kovaleski, 7th Dan and chair of the I.T.M.A. She also works as a martial arts instructor and her favorite weapons are the hook swords. Northern California was her home in 1983 where she worked with the West Coast Demonstration Team. At this time Golden Harvest was searching in Los Angeles for the next Bruce Lee.
