Cynthia Rothrock Career

Martial arts

Between 1981 and 1985, Rothrock was a five-time World Champion in forms and weapons. These categories are not combat-oriented, focusing on the fluidity of movement rather than fighting, and they are not divided into male and female categories but are available to all genders. In her first 38 events, she won first place in forms 32 times and first place in weapons 12 times, including three out of four times in “Men’s Forms” because there was no Women’s Division. She won four out of five combat competitions and was dubbed the “Grand Master” of five tournaments. She is a seven-time black belt in Tang Soo Do, Taekwondo (Korean), Eagle Claw (Chinese), Wushu, Northern Shaolin, Ng Ying Kungfu (Chinese: ), and Pai Lum White Dragon Kung Fu. In 2006, she was awarded her 6th-degree black belt in Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan. Grand Master Robert Kovaleski, 9th Dan and chair of the I.T.M.A., put her to the exam, and he later advanced her to 7th-degree black belt in 2011 and 8th-degree black belt in 2015. Her preferred weapons are hook swords, and she is a martial arts instructor. Rothrock was named “Female Competitor of the Year” in the Black Belt Magazine Hall of Fame in 1983.

She was the first woman to appear on the cover of a martial arts magazine, and in 1986 co-authored a book with George Chung titled Advanced Dynamic Kicks. In 2014, she was honored with the Legacy Award at the Urban Action Showcase & Expo at HBO

Acting

Rothrock was found by Golden Harvest in Los Angeles, California, while she was on Ernie Reyes’ West Coast Demonstration Team in 1983. Yes, Madam (also known as Police Assassins or In the Line of Duty Part 2), her first martial arts film for them, was released two years later (1985) and starred Michelle Yeoh. It was a financial success at the box office. She stayed in Hong Kong until 1988, working on seven films there. 24 Hours to Midnight, directed by Leo Fong and starring Stack Pierce, Juan Chapa, and Bernie Pock, was maybe her debut film in the United States. Before earning success in their own nation, Rothrock was one of the few western actors to achieve genuine stardom in Hong Kong’s film business. In numerous Hong Kong films, she was credited as (“Fu Lok Law” or “Foo Lok Law”). Rothrock’s migration to the United States was sparked by producer Pierre David. David offered her a co-starring role in Rothrock’s debut U.S. film, Martial Law, alongside Chad McQueen. She had a thriving career in B-grade action pictures for the next ten years. Among her thirty films are China O’Brien and China O’Brien 2, Guardian Angel, Honor & Glory, No Retreat, No Surrender 2 and Prince of the Sun.

Rothrock appeared as Bertha Jo in the 1997 television film The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!. She was an inspiration for the video game character Sonya Blade from the Mortal Kombat fighting game franchise and lent her voice on the animated series Eek the Cat.

She made an appearance in the television series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, playing Hera’s second Enforcer in the 1996 episode “Not Fade Away”.

After starring in the 2004 film Xtreme Fighter (a.k.a. Sci-Fighter), where she played Sally Kirk / The White Dragon, she retired from acting to teach private martial arts lessons at her martial arts studio in Studio City, California.

She returned to acting in 2012 with a role in the family film Santa’s Summer House. In 2014, she starred in the action movie Mercenaries, alongside Kristanna Loken, Brigitte Nielsen, Vivica A. Fox and Zoë Bell.
