Jean-Claude Van Damme biogrphy

Born Jean-Claude Van Varenberg, the future big screen butt-kicker entered the world on Oct. 18, 1960, in Belgium. Physical perfection and martial arts were always his focus, beginning when he entered martial arts training at the age of 11. He earned a black belt in Shotokan karate and won the European Professional Karate Association's middleweight championship while still in his late teens. After touring internationally as a competitor on the professional karate and kickboxing circuits, he opened his own gym in his hometown of Brussels. His moderate level of renown in the bodybuilding and martial arts industries led to some modeling work and product endorsements, and with stars in his eyes, Van Damme spent some time in Hong Kong trying to break into martial arts films. By the time he was 21 years old, he was set on the idea of parlaying his background into a career as a movie star. Not surprisingly, he moved to Hollywood, trying out various stage names like Frank Cujo (which he dropped upon the release of the horror film of the same name) and Jean-Claude Vandam, while taking a variety of odd jobs to make ends meet.
