My name is Lisa King, I am a native of Las Vegas. I guess you can say that I enjoy embracing new challenges and I strive for excellence in all that I do. My extensive and diverse background has enabled me to accomplish great strides in my many careers of choice.
I believe my love for entertaining began young but blossomed while competing as a full contact Muay Thai fighter. I have appeared in the films Ring Girls and Fight Girls and the Fight Girls television series, as a mentor and trainer to 10 aspiring female fighters. I am a mother of two, I run my own own marketing company, I model, act, ring announce and commentate. In addition, I provide Executive Protection for organizations and individuals who require it. I have many years of experience in the corporate world in addition to my background in the martial arts community. I was recently voted Black Belt Magazine's "Woman of the year 2007" and inducted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame.

My Interests

I'm a Capricorn to a T. I love and live all aspects of the fight world. If I'm not there - you can find me at the range. It's pretty much that simple! I would have to say Wonder Woman is my hero as she's sexy as hell and stops at nothing. I'm all about "Woman Power" myself.

I'd like to meet:

Below is my most recent fight to defend my title!

Music:

I love basically anything...I was raised with a strong musical background. My grandfather sang in Carnegie Hall, my brothers and I play various instruments however we all sort of fell in love with percussion. Drums are my love when it comes to music...As far as what I like to listen to - my interests range from Broadway to R&B, I can even throw in some Country depending on the artist.

Movies:

FIGHT GIRLS an Oxygen Original Movie (2006)

Television:

I'm not a big TV Junkie, but since just appearing on the oxygen channel in the movie "Fight Girls" I am a little partial to reality tv. To hear more on Fight Girls - cut and paste this link: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5623669

Books:

Inspirational books are my favorite...

Heroes:

"Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill" - Muhammad Ali
