Mariska Hargitay
Mariska Hargitay, star of Law & Order: SVU, is no stranger to martial arts. She began her training in the 1990s and has now mastered the technique of Shotokan karate. She even received a first-degree black belt for her efforts. In describing her love for the sport, she previously said, “It exercises your discipline in a way I haven’t found in other sports.”
Jason Statham
Jason Statham, a British tough man, trains in a variety of martial arts, including Brazilian jiujitsu, Wing Chun, karate, and kickboxing. However, the rationale behind his selections is rather intriguing: he wishes to conceal his face. Furthermore, in a 2014 interview with Combat Bear, he expressed his aversion to any form of face-to-face martial arts. “Because there’s not a lot of contact with the face,” Statham explained. “As a result, the face will not be injured, which is critical in my line of work.” Excellent decision!
