Lauren Sugihara - Muay Thai Fighter

This is DJ, model and Muay Thai fighter Lauren Sugihara.
Her DJ name by the way is DJ Ms.Vicious.
Appropriate huh?
Besides DJing modeling and fighting, Lauren was also in the 2007 WWE Diva Search.
Imagine had she won....

Anyway, Lauren's teacher is legendary coach and MMA Zen-master, Clarence Thatch who trained with the Gracies and Bruce Lee.
Thatch's training may have helped save Lauren's life.
You see, Lauren is an alcoholic, and she credits Master Thatch and 3-D Martial Arts' Muay Thai training with helping to lift her up and help her overcome her addiction.

If you wanna see Lauren in action, take a look at this video from YouTube

Rin Nakai - Female MMA

And another female mixed martial artist....
Female MMA fighter Rin Nakai was recently ranked number seven in the world among female fighters in the Super Flyweight category.
Which kinda confuses me because at Sherdog, Rin is listed at 135 which would put her in the Bantamweight category.
Anyway, one look at her and you can tell why she's on the Asian Fitness blog.
Besides the fact that she has to be in shape to compete in MMA, take a look at those biceps.
And she's five foot one.
Rin's MMA record at the moment is 7-0-0, with 2 wins by TKOs, 2 wins by submission (an armbar and a Kimura/reverse keylock) and 3 wins by decision.



Her last victory was over Megumi Yabushita by Unanimous Decision at GCM - Valkyrie 6 on June 19th, 2010.

Here is Rin taking on Tomomi Sunaba at Pancrase - Shining 10 on December 7th, 2008

Monique Minton - Female Fitness Competitor

Monique Minton continues to be one of the most popular female fitness competitors on this blog.
And there's little wonder why.
This lovely half filipinia, half polish model has graced the cover of not only female fitness magazines, but muscle and fitness mags like Flex several times.
And the beautiful five foot, ten inch, one hundred and fifty pound fitness beauty keeps adding to her list of female fitness competitions...

2008 NPC Team Universe Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure National Championships - 4th Place

2009 NPC USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships - 1st Place
2010 IFBB Olympia - NP
2010 IFBB MuscleContest Pro Bikini - 2nd Place

And as I have mentioned before, besides competitions and fitness modeling, Monique is training in BJJ and MMA, so I wonder if we will see her debut in the steel cage?

Tanji Johnson Updates

I said in my last entry on the beautiful IFBB fitness pro Tanji Johnson that even though her American Gladiator name was Stealth, I bet you wouldn't have a hard time seeing her.

Well I was right, at the 2009 IFBB Arnold Classic, Tanji came in 16th place.

And the website LA Muscle TV has a two part feature up on this young lady that you can see here:
http://www.lamuscle.tv/player/hollywoodextra/70

Watching her practice her routine in the second part of that feature, I couldn't help but think what a MMA fighter she would make.
Of course right now her plate is full enough as a personal trainer and fitness coach.
But how awesome would Tanji Johnson versus Gina Carano be?

Well, here is a picture of this Asian fitness beauty in contest shape.
I thought she looked fit in her other pics but wow!
The next stop for Linda is the FAME World Championships in Montreal.
