Michael's site
Michael Foley's training started with Jiu-Jitsu on High School. After graduating he'd continue training in Omega Systems of Karate and Kempo Chuan Fa. At that time Mike would start acting in college and would later graduate with an acting degree.
After that he joined the army in 1976 and was stationed in Hawaii. There he trained more and harder than ever before. The army supported him and his classes to maintain his skills for actual anti-drug missions and kickboxing competition. During those 4 years Michael was lucky to train in Koden kan Karate, DanZanRyu Jiu-Jitsu, Kyokushinkai Karate, Shotokan Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Hwa Rang Do, Shorenji Kenpo and Muay Thai Kickboxing. Michael also has experienced Tai Chi. Michael had the privilege of training under the legendary Mas Oyama in Japan. Michael has travelled over the whole world for his work in the army and his martial arts training. Michael now has trained Koden-Kan Karate-do for over 30 years.
As for titles and championships; He was the U.S. Army Pacific Rim Heavyweight Kickboxing Champion for 9 years untill an injury forced him to stop fighting. He moved to tournament Karate and did well in the hard-style kata divisions. Michael is well known for his real hard punches and kicks. He still holds a 49-0 record with 48 first-round knock-outs.
Mike had some cool movie-roles. He worked with Isaac Florentine in Desert Hawk, and was chosen for his role in WMAC-Masters, which made him even more popular. Besides acting he often does the choreography in his own movies and does his own stunts and fights.
Michael now teaches karate at his Karate Center in Placerville, California. Since 1977 he trained people for the US Army, which he still does. He's a real army-dude and proud husband and fathe to his 2 daughters.
