  • An absolute legend of martial arts! We certainly extend our sincerest Happy Birthday to Cynthia Rothrock today, 57 and still going strong! Personally, I think she looks younger now than she did in the early nineties!

    • I think that's proof that martial arts keeps you young, not all these fancy creams! ;-)
