Taylor Lautner Impressing Abduction Co Star With His Martial Arts Skills

By , About.com Guide   July 27, 2010

Follow me on:

Taylor Lautner is more than just the next big time action hero in the movies.  He's also a very well-accomplished karate practitioner that by the age of 11 was ranked number one in NASKA's Black Belt Open Forms, Musical Weapons, Traditional Weapons, and Traditional Forms.  And let's put it this way- his Hollywood co-stars are beginning to take notice.

"He's a martial arts prodigy," Abduction co-star Jason Isaacs told Metro on July 25, 2010. "Even at 11 he looked like Bruce Lee. He's a phenomenon; he's like a gold-medal gymnast."

Then Isaacs went on further to say "He's been doing karate since he was six! I've done 10 kickboxing lessons. Hollywood decided he is the latest action hero apparently, and I'm there in this film to make him look even more muscular. And I'll do that."

Lautner is getting all types of roles lately.  Don't be surprised if his martial arts acumen coupled with his acting abilities make him an absolute superstar very soon.
