“Martial Arts taught me to never accept failure.” – Cynthia Rothrock

My guest this episode is a film legend, a forms World Champion, a Black Belt Magazine Hall of Famer, the one and only Cynthia Rothrock.  Cynthia is a lifelong martial artist who holds 7 Black Belts and is receiving the 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award at the Century Martial Arts Super Show.  

This episode is all about Cynthia Rothrock’s journey from training under Ernie Reyes Sr., representing the legendary West Coast Demo Team, becoming a multiple time world champion in forms, to being discovered by the Hong Kong Film Industry.  My Key Take Away is to Never Accept Failure and to Never Quit.  Martial Arts teaches us to overcome adversity, to learn and to grow.  Not everyone is a natural, but with grit, strong determination, and most importantly a Positive Attitude you can keep going and achieve your dreams.  Cynthia is a true martial artist, her passion for teaching, learning, and her quest for adventure in life is inspirational.
