I'm a black belt in karate. I grew up on the outskirts of Paris, and it was rough.

When I was nine, my father said 'You can take piano lessons or do karate' - I had a black belt and was competing before I was 19.

I did a bit of karate - I'm a blackbelt - so I know how to move.

I'm a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and 2nd degree in karate, and I'm a licensed bodyguard.

A black belt is nothing more than a belt, a piece of cloth. Your ultimate goal should not be to get your black belt. Your ultimate goal should be to be a black belt. Being a black belt is a state of mind, a way of life.

I grew up doing martial arts, and I'm a second-degree black belt.
