Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have learned Tang Soo Do and hold a 4th degree black belt and has also been trained in Xtreme Martial arts. You reached the pinnacle of success on becoming the WKA World Champion in Korean Traditional forms, Musical Open hand and Musical Weapons 1996-1999. What factors you consider were responsible that made you achieve that?
Ms. Chloe Bruce:
I have always had a highly competitive personality, not only against other people, but also with myself. I love to set challenges, goals and targets and no matter how tough the journey, I won’t stop until I reach them. I also have the most supportive family who have been my rock. They support me with everything I do, and I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today without their continued love and support.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Tell us about your trademark “scorpion kick” that is considered as the most dangerous splits one has ever seen. How it has been of help in your fighting style that gave you the winning edge in your fights?
Ms. Chloe Bruce:
My scorpion kick is a great trade mark and one in which I am extremely proud of. As it attacks from behind and over the head, no one ever expects it. So it’s definitely a great move to give me that winning edge! I have even used it in fight choreography and if you look closely in the end fight scene between Gamora and Nebula in Hollywoods ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ you may just see my trade mark in there!!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
In 2009 you captured the Guinness World record for most kicks in 1 minute, that stands at 212 kicks.Tell us about this experience and achievement of yours?
Ms. Chloe Bruce:
This was, and still is, one of my greatest achievements. That feeling of being on top of the World is second to none and to get a record with something that means so much to me (kicking) is just incredible.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you shall like to share?
Ms. Chloe Bruce:
I do a lot of leg workouts and conditioning. Things like squats and high intensity training I love. I.e – high impact kicks for 1 minute, and rest for 30 seconds, then do around 8 sets of them. Then change exercise and do the same scenario. Other things I love to add into my workout is skipping, lunges, box jumps to really work on not only the strength and power, but speed also.
