Today we’d like to introduce you to Chucky Currie.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Chucky. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I began training in the martial arts in 1966 while living in Chicago’s China Town. I received my first black belt at ten years old. I began performing publicly at age 12 to the song Kung Fu Fighting. I was already a Bruce Lee fan. I began competing in tournaments at the age of 14. I won my first World Take Kwon Do Championship at 16. Chuck Norris named me the new Bruce Lee. I have won World Martial Arts Championship titles in Fighting, Forms and Weapons. I was the first to perform creative musical forms on the National Martial Arts Tournament Circuit. I am a professional actor, director, producer. I have worked in major movies, including Rush Hour 2, Oceans 11, Twisted, XxX State of the Union. I produced and co-directed as well as starred in Enter The Tiger, winner of the International Action On Film Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No, It has been a lot of work, competition is fierce! There are no short cuts to success! No struggle, No success!
