The Legend of Jim Carrey – the Path of a Master!

For those of you who know Jim Carrey better as one of the world’s greatest comedians, he is also a highly skilled martial artist, as we have mentioned before on KFK.  Long before his rise to fame as one of the greatest physical comedians of all time, Jim Carrey was long fascinated by all things martial arts, spending every waking moment since his own birth studying every martial art ever devised.  As a youth, Jim Carrey would later travel to China where he was accepted as a disciple at the famed Shaolin Temple. We’ve even obtained some exclusive footage of his time as a Shaolin disciple:

However, after years of studying the Shaolin way, the idealistic Jim Carrey returned to Los Angeles to achieve his dream of making it in Hollywood.  Prior to his rise to fame, he established his own dojo in Los Angeles, always careful to teach students under an alias in order to keep his enemies from uncovering his martial arts lineage.  Here is additional exclusive footage from Master Carrey’s days passing on his boundless warrior knowledge to enable women to protect themselves in any situation:

Needless to say, Master Carrey is now known primarily as one of the world’s great comedians, yet his martial arts skills are no joke. That’s why UK audiences are strongly advised to check out “Dumb and Dumber To”, which has just seen its official UK release this past weekend – the martial arts sequence seen in the film puts to shame anything that Tony Jaa, Jackie Chan, or Jean-Claude Van Damme have ever done.

From the earliest days of childhood, Brad Curran was utterly fascinated by martial arts, his passion only growing stronger after spending time living in the melting pot of Asian cultures that is Hawaii. His early exposure developed into a lifelong passion and fascination with all forms of martial arts and tremendous passion for action and martial arts films. He would go on to take a number of different martial arts forms, including Shaolin Ch'uan fa, Taekwondo, Shotokan Karate and remains a devoted student, avid and eager to continue his martial arts studies. Brad is also an aspiring writer and deeply desires to share his love for martial arts and martial arts movies with the world!
