Billy Blanks has grew up with 15 brothers and sisters. He was a shy kid with dyslexia and unable to play sports. Billy was put into special education and ended up joining a gang as a young child in the days of fist fights, before guns and knives.
Against social pressures of his peers, 11-year-old Billy started karate and discovered a new passion for martial arts and movement. By 13 he had his black belt. Before his 18th birthday he'd made the United States karate team, travelling around the world where he won 36 international gold medals. He'd found his route to success and new that if he put his mind behind his body, he could help a lot of people.
He combined karate, boxing, and calisthenics into a workout for a revolutionary new movement that smashed gender stereotypes and taught people to control their body with their mind. The first Tae Bo workout sold four million copies in the first week, and went on to sell 115 million.
Tae Bo is one of the original full body workouts. For more than 20 years it has been helping people discover the power within themselves to achieve anything they set their mind to. If you've got the will, Tae Bo Fitness is the way! For more information visit www.taebo.com
