What does The Invisible woman and Jessica Alba’s turning kick have in common? You never see it coming. This Fantastic Four movie star not only has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do but similar to Sarah Michelle Geller she performs her own stunts.

Willie Nelson

Singer Willie Nelson has a 5th degree black belt in the Korean martial art Gongkwon Yusul, which is sometimes reported in the press as being taekwondo. Nelson has also studied taekwondo, for which he holds a 2nd degree black belt. He has been studying martial arts for over 20 years

Actor Sarah Michelle Gellar 

Sarah Michelle Gellar (born April 14, 1977) is an American actress and producer. After being found by an agent in a local restaurant in New York City, she had a role in the made-for-TV movie An Invasion of Privacy and went on to appear in shows like Spenser: For Hire. She originated the role of Kendall Hart on the ABC daytime soap opera All My Children, winning the 1995 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series.

 Evan Rachel Wood

This Vampire Queen needs no protection. True Blood star Evan Rachel Wood also hold a first degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Now that’s one scary vampire!

Dave Mustaine

You might not have heard of him, but this Megadeath vocalist not only has an iron throat but iron legs too. Not only does he hold black belts in Tae Kwon Do, the WTF (World TaeKwonDo Federation) has appointed him as a goodwill ambassador.

Barack Obama

The Former President of the United States was already a pretty cool guy. Add ninja to his accolades and the internet might just explode. While President Obama hasn’t actually climbed the ranks to Black Belt in Taekwondo; currently he’s managed to get as far as green belt in Taekwondo. But as the leader of the free world, he was made an honorary Black belt by Lee Myung-bak, President of South Korea in 2009. Guess he can be forgiven, after all he is a very busy man!.

Wesley Snipes

We’ve all seen blade, it’s a really cool movie. But, who knew Wesley Snipes was actually him. Not only does Mr Snipes have a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, he also has a 5th degree black belt in Shotokan karate and a 2nd degree black belt in Hapkido. Give him a ring next time you have any vampire problems.
