An interesting fact about the actor Will Yun Lee is that he’s also a Taekwondo black belt. This makes sense considering his Korean heritage which is where the discipline stems from. However, it turns out that he’s also trained Brazilian Jiu JItsu.
Speaking on the training session, Lee was incredibly humbled and seemed to really enjoy it, adding “FACT #1 I have ZERO ground game. Was a less than 10 second snack for my Jujitsu teacher WonBJJ … FACT #2: Love being a white belt again…stay open, stay learning. FACT #3: I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE TOMORROW”
This type of reaction is quite common from experienced people in other martial arts. Often, they feel lost on the ground due to relying on striking which is where the beauty of grappling and BJJ comes in. Will Yun Lee is best known for his role as Takeshi Kovacs in the TV show Altered Carbon.
