Ed O'Neill (Ed Bundy on Married with Children) - blue belt in BJJ (may have gone farther by now)

Wayne Newton, Las Vegas entertainer - black belt in some type of karate

David Lee Roth, former lead singer for Van Halen - brown or black belt in TKD, I believe

You bet Vladimir Putin is a celebrity. Don't tell him he's not - it might not go well...

I didn't know that!...that is about Al Bundy. Sometimes, when I watch Married with Children I see...my life...Oh...Noo...

:lol: :lol: Too funny!

Sometimes when I look back it is funny...sometimes, well...it's pretty sad...but sometimes life happens

Steve McQueen studied under Bruce Lee for a time. And can anyone forget Jack Osborne, who has been studying Muay Thai in Thailand at Fairtex???

Scary stuff.

With respect,

Sean Connery - Kyokushin karate (might be an honorary grade though, I've heard conflicting reports)

Elvis Presley - Started with shotokan karate then did American Kenpo with Ed Parker

Hugh Laurie - Boxing

Wesley Snipes - Karate and capoeira

Micky Rourke - Boxing

James Coburn - Jeet Kune Do

I could have sworn Elvis started out in Chito Ryu than got into Pasa Ryu(Kang Rhee)and of course, Kenpo(Ed Parker).

Karate without bareknuckle kumite(kyokushin/knockdown rules)is dancing. Karate without kata isn't Karate.


BTW, I'm a horrible dancer.

He's been at least a brown belt for a few years now, under Royce Gracie. The lead singer of Tool is at least a purple belt, too.

There is a video out of the singer from tool choking someone who climbed on stage at one of his concerts. He gets back control and continues singing while choking the guy.
