Michael Jackson
In addition to music and dancing, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, was obsessed with martial arts. He trained with his bodyguard Matt Fiddes to learn Kung Fu and eventually was awarded as 5th Dan black belt in Karate that was held in Japan.
“Michael Jackson was one of the best martial artists I’ve ever seen. People might laugh at that because of the image he projected, but he was very sharp. Martial arts is very similar to dance.” – Matt Fiddes, Michael Jackson’s Bodyguard
