Martial artist Chucky “Quick Kick” Currie, has won more Martial Arts Titles than most people could win in 10 lifetimes. But what do you expect from a person who started training at age 6? He has received his Black Belt at age 10 and has won so many forms including sparring and weapon titles that he can only estimate the total number at “between three and four hundred.”
While the charismatic 60-something is legendary on the tournament circuit, it is safe to say that Chucky “Quick Kick” Currie is no target for the paparazzi. “I’m Batman without a cape, the batcar, the money, or that Robin dude,” he laughs. “I see a lot of people who used to come to watch me compete in tournaments go on to get famous and rich in the movies. At one point Chuck Norris named me the new Bruce Lee, and Bill Wallace said I was the best technician he ever fought. Dan Inosanto said that if Bruce Lee was alive he would take me on tour everywhere and make all kinds of movies with me because he would be so proud of what I had accomplished.
