Jean-Claude Van Damme

Jean-Claude Camille François Van Varenberg (that’s a mouthful!) started studying martial arts at 10, earning his black belt at 18. At 16, he took ballet for five years. To improve his physique, Jean-Claude began lifting weights, which eventually led to him winning the Mr. Belgium bodybuilding title. He also branched out into Taekwondo and Muay Thai. His background contributed to him becoming a Hollywood action star who can kick butt like nobody’s business.
