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

Jung Da-Yeon - Mom-chan Diet Wii Figureobics

Jung Da-Yeon maybe 44 years old and have two kids, but look at her.
Yes one of the most popular Asian fitness women on this blog is about to become even more popular.
"Momjjang ajumma" (mom with a striking figure) is about to have her very own Wii game released, Mom-chan Diet Wii Figureobics by Jung Da-Yeon.



The game will feature over thirty exercises, and have camera control, plus management tools for storing your weight, BMI and other vital statistics.

The game will come out this December in Japan and sell for ¥3,990.
So far, no US release is scheduled.

And now I am thinking that Jung may possibly be an immortal.

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

Who is Monique Ricardo?

Monique Ricardo, http://www.bodybuilding.com/

On August 13th and 14th at the Dallas Convention Center in Dallas Texas they will be holding the 2010 IFBB Europa Supershow.
And of course as part of that, they will be holding the IFBB Europa Supershow Bikini competition.
Among the competitors will be Amanda Latona, Nathalia Melo, Sonya Vecchiarelli, Brandy Leaver and a name you should all recognize...Monique Ricardo.

Who is Monique Ricardo?
Well it's our very own Monique Minton.
(I don't know why I keep saying "our very own", she isn't "ours")
Anyway, Monique got married and now she is known as Monique Ricardo.
I wonder if that means I'll have to go back and change all by posts?

Monique has already qualified for the Olympia, and the Europa Supershow will be in her own backyard, so cross your fingers and let's see how she does.
Earlier this year at the 2010 IFBB MuscleContest Pro Bikini, Momo came in second, right behind Sonia Gonzales.

You can find out more about the 2010 IFBB Europa Supershow here.

Natalie Pennington - IFBB Bikini Pro

While doing research on these Asian fitness beauties, occasionally I run across someone that is so amazing, I can't believe I hadn’t found her before.
Stunning half Korean, half French IFBB Bikini Pro Natalie Pennington is one of those women.
I think Natalie ranks right up there in the top five most beautiful women I have ever presented on this blog.

IFBB Bikini is a new female fitness competition, just started this year by the IFBB (The International Federation of BodyBuilders), and at first, some people just looked at it as a glorified bikini competition, designed to sell more tickets.

But having seen these ladies in action, I think opinions are changing, as these women work just as hard as other female fitness competitors to get the look the judges want.
Some women have even crossed over from IFBB Figure over to bikini.

Back to Natalie though, this young lady can do something none of the other competitors can do.
She can make you look forward to a trip to the dentist.
Yes, Natalie is a full time dentist.

Natalie has appeared as a fitness model in issue 12 of Status Fitness Magazine, and I think you will see a LOT more of this gorgeous woman in the coming months.

Competition History:
2008 MuscleMania Fitness America Weekend - 5th Place
2008 UNBA Fitness America Southern Cal Regional - 1st Place
2009 NPC Team Universe - 2nd Place
2009 NPC USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships - 2nd Place
2009 NPC Contra Costa Bodybuilding, Figure & Fitness Championships - 1st Place
2010 IFBB MuscleContest Pro Bikini - 5th Place
2010 IFBB New Zealand Pro Figure & Bikini - 2nd Place

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 John Sherman Classic Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Championship - 1st Place
2008 NPC National Bodybuilding & Figure Championships - 5th Place
2008 NPC Team Universe Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure National Championships - 4th Place
2008 NPC USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships - 3rd 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?
