I earned a black belt when I was in high school. And I did a lot of boxing and full contact karate in college.

Needless to say, I would have loved to have been a black belt instead of actually just wearing one to hold up my pants!

I went to karate classes where it was basically a line-up of hulking man, hulking man, small nine-year-old girl, hulking man, hulking man.

I was more of a weightlifter.

I was in martial arts starting at the age of 14, and I got my black belt by the time I was 18. Soon after, I was teaching an entire school, with about 150 students. It was unbelievably intense because of the self-awareness part of becoming a black belt.

When I tend to belt, it kind of reminds me of like a more '60s girl doo-wop kind of belting.

When I was in my early 20s, I studied tae kwon do and hapkido. I earned brown belts in both of them.

In my school, people liked the gym teachers because they were the football or soccer coaches. But look, if they're cool, they get respect.

I got involved in athletics during physical education lessons at school.

I grew up doing martial arts, and I'm a second-degree black belt.
