Billy Blanks, Martial Artist And Creator of TaeBo
I always like trying out different workout programs. So a couple of years I borrowed a DVD from a friend.
And I gotta tell ya that I got a really good sweat from what I was following on the screen.
The program is better known as TaeBo and it simply combines numerous training elements from Taekwondo/Karate and Western boxing while creating a high-octane environment in the privacy of your own home.
TaeBo has helped and continues to help millions get and stay in shape.
It is not a self-defense program, even though the man behind TaeBo certainly can defend himself.
He is a 7th degree Taekwondo Black Belt and his name is Billy Blanks.
Before introducing his immensely successful brainchild, Karate Hall of Famer Billy Blanks was actually a very accomplished martial artist and boxing champion (Massachusetts Golden Gloves Champion) which he explains in the following video clip I found for you.
Hope you enjoy it!

Used to watch the epic battles between Billy Blanks and Steve “Nasty” Anderson. Billy is the real deal and has inspired a generation of point fighters and fitness people.

Looks like I’m not the only one who can appreciate Billy Blanks’ accomplishments.
And you’re right. His fights against Steve “Nasty” Anderson, truly epic.

We are all so fortunate that we have something we are passionate about. Agree?!
Thanks for writing in again, John.
Taebo was the hotness for awhile! It’s cool to see that Billy’s work is still improving people’s fitness. In fact, I know someone who still does Taebo and has achieved very positive results from it like yourself.

Thanks for writing in, Matt.
I agree, Billy Blanks has created a legacy in his own right. Awesome.
But what was it with some of these tops cut out to expose the pecs, OMG.
I used to see a lot of Tae Bo infomercials; I was always a little skeptical, but this post has made me think twice, and I might have to check it out. Thanks!

Hey Keith,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I think TaeBo is a demanding workout and I admire Billy Blanks for his marketing savvy and his gift to get millions of people off their assets.
