Danny, thank you for taking the time to answer questions about your journey. I am excited to
share your life with our readers. First, let’s start off at the beginning, how did you get started
in the martial arts?

Thank you for having me Linda, I am honored. I got started in the martial arts through my child-
hood best friend, Ivan Guerrero. At the age of 11, Ivan and I would watch Bruce Lee, Jackie
Chan and Jean-Claude Van Damme movies and we were hooked! From that point on, we trained
nonstop and since we didn’t think that any of the movies we watched used special effects, we
trained authentically. This really helped me achieve more realistic and impressive fight scenes
to this day.

Have you and Ivan continued to train?

Unfortunately, my best friend Ivan died 20 year ago in a car accident. I am dedicating my next
film in memory of him. It is going to be titled Guerrero, in honor of Ivan, the first person to be-
lieve in me and have faith that one day I would make it big.

So know I want to honor and immortalizing him thru this film.

What is your background in martial arts?

I began my martial arts training in Taekwondo, it was my first passion in the arts. I earned my
black belt in 3 Federations: International Taekwondo Federation (ITF), World Taekwondo Fe-
deration (WTF), and American Taekwondo Association (ATA). Next, I trained in kung fu and jeet
kune do in Florida. Then, I trained in kickboxing, muay thai, and krav maga. Lastly, I trained
in jujitsu.

In the past few years, we have seen you on social media along with martial art super stars
such as Jean-Claude Van Damme, James Lew, Frank Dux, Bill Dukes and Cynthia Rothrock.
What has that experience been like?

It has been amazing to know such talented individuals I grew up watching in films. What has
been even more impressive has been their humility. Every year, I meet Frank Dux and Cynthia
WHO’S WHO AT
Rothrock at events and consider them my friends now.

THE MUNICH HALL
How did you go about jumping over motorcycles and cars?

I always wanted to do something spectacular for the screen besides the regular fight scenes. We

couldn’t afford to spend millions on special effects, computer generated images, or wire work.
Therefore, I decided to do the stunts for real and hoped the audiences would appreciate the risk
“THE PLACE TO BE“
taking in the scene.
