Megumi Fujii

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

And continuing with the policy of Asian fitness women from all walks of life, today we have Megumi Fujii.
"Mega Megu" was born on April 26, 1974 in Okayama Prefecture, Japan.
She is considered one of the best female MMA fighters in the world.
And why not?
She got her martial arts training from Hiroyuki Abe and Josh Barnett.
Megumi has 16 wins (13 by submission, 3 by decision) and no losses.
Her first MMA fight was against Yumi Matsumoto on August 5th, 2004 at the Smackgirl - Holy Land Triumphal Return event. Megumi won by submission 40 seconds into the first round!

Female Fitness Models and Female Fitness Competitors 2

This is my second Female Fitness Models and Female Fitness Competitors Hub.
Some of these ladies are from the world of female fitness competition and some are fitness models...like the title says.
I pointed out the difference between the two in my first Hub.
And female bodybuilders are a whole 'nother story, but they have a loyal following too.
Even though they are not included in this Hub, I'll be taking them into consideration later.

Jamie Eason

Jamie Eason
Hands down, Jamie Eason is one of the most popular female fitness models on the internet.
It's kinda hard to find a picture to go with an entry on her, because this woman has an incredible body and she likes to show it off (within limits that is).
It's also kinda hard to find any kind of contest history on her.
The only events that I could find was the 2006 Hardbody Entertainment's World's Fittest Model Search which she won, the John Sherman Classic in Houston in 2005 and the 2006 NPC Junior Nationals in Chicago.
Jamie was born on April 10, 1976 and stands 5'2".

Kiana Tom

Kiana Tom
Kiana Tom was born on March 14, 1965 in Maui, Hawaii.
She's a fitness model, television show fitness instructor, actress, author, a former Oakland Raider cheerleader and is of Chinese, Hawaiian and Irish descent.
You may remember her from the ESPN TV show, Bodyshaping in 1988.
Kiana proved so popular there that she got her own show, Kiana's Flex Appeal in 1995.
She co-starred in the 1999 film, Universal Soldier: The Return, with Jean-Claude Van Damme and Michael Jai White.
And she has acting in her blood.
Her father Layne Tom Jr. played Charlie Chan's son in 3 of the Charlie Chan movies.

Amy Weber

Amy Weber
Amy Weber has been a lot of things during her career.
She's been an actress, a fitness model, a film producer, a WWE Diva, and a singer (her first CD is available on Itunes, Amazon and CDbaby).
Although I can't find any record of her ever competing, she has shown up in several muscle magazines (Muscle and Fitness for one) as a fitness model.
Amy was so popular on the WWE that she kept her feud going with fellow Diva Joy Giovanni after they both left the WWE, culminating in a wrestling DVD "Amy vs Joy" released early in 2009!
And she was voted one of the "Top 10 Fitness Models" by the voters at AskMen.com.
In May 2009, Amy gave birth to twins.
But I expect to see her back on the scene in short order.

Carmen Garcia

Carmen Garcia
Carmen Garcia is another very popular fitness model.
But she is not only a fitness model, she is also a fitness trainer and a nutritionist.
And she's also a Kickboxing trainer, so watch yourselves guys!
Carmen's appeared on the cover and inside magazines like Muscle and Fitness Hers, Oxygen, Ironman and Planet Muscle.
Carmen was born on July 16, 1977, in Havana, Cuba, and raised in Miami, Florida.

Jennifer Nicole Lee

Jennifer Nicole Lee
I like Jennifer so much that I devoted an entire Hub just to her.
Jenn has overcome a lot to get to where is is today.
James Brown may have been called the "Hardest Working Man in Show Business" but Jennifer may be the "Hardest Working Woman in Fitness".
She's been on Oprah, E! Entertainment infomercials and on September 19th, Jennifer won the WBFF Miss Bikini Diva Competition in Toronto for the second straight year in a row.
Jennifer has gone from self proclaimed "frumpy housewife" to where she is today through a combination of eating right and hard work.

Ashley Lawrence

Ashley Lawrence
Like Jamie Eason, Ashley Lawrence (aka Fembomb) is another fitness model that it's hard to get a picture of.
One that I can post at least.
Ashley got her start in fitness modeling by entering a Hawaiian Tropic swimsuit contest.
She won the local event and that qualified her to go to national contest in Las Vegas.
Ashley was chosen as a Met-Rx fitness spokesmodel and she hasn't looked back since.
In an interview with her, I read that she stays within five pounds of her competing weight all the time with a combination of diet and working out.
She doesn't have an "off-season".

Lisa Cheng

The beautiful Lisa Cheng is a bodybuilder and rock climber (her nickname is “Hong Kong Spider Woman”).
Here are a couple of links so you can see how pretty this lady really is.

Picture of Lisa with the trophy after winning the Ms. Bodyfitness competition at the 2008 Hong Kong Bodybuilding And Fitness Championships on April 20, 2008.


See? She's beautiful.
And besides her win at the Ms. Bodyfitness competition in 2008, she has competed in the 2007 Asian Championships, Ms. Fitness 4th place and Ms. Body Fitness, 7th place.

And Lisa is also considering a shot at female MMA as you can see in this video here:

Hisae Watanabe

She has been competeing since 2002 and is a former DEEP Ladies' Lightweight champion with a MMA record of 19-6-0.

Michelle Waterson, The Karate Hottie

Michelle Waterson-fitness

On this blog we have had fitness models, bodybuilders, fitness competitors, swimmers and now here is a lady we can add to the list of MMA fighters we have had here.
This beautiful young lady is Michelle Waterson.
She is a native of Aurora, Colorado and is half American and half Thai.
Michelle took her first karate class at the age of ten and she hasn't looked back since.
She has been a bikini model, she was in Oxygen's "Fight Girls" (she was defeated by Ardra Fernandez in the fourth episode), she's been a Hooters girl and a spokes model.
Michelle has a black belt in karate, and trains in MMA, Wushu and Muay Thai.

And should you think this is all hype, take a look at this MMA fight between Michelle and Tyra Parker......

K.L. Frahn

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

This beautiful young lady is fitness model K.L. Frahn (Kristen Leigh Frahn).
She's 5'4" and weighs 124 lbs and is not only a fitness model, but is trained in Mixed Martial Arts and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (brown belt).
K.L. started out with fitness training to enhance her martial arts training, and I would say it worked.

She has been competeing since 2002 and is a former DEEP Ladies' Lightweight champion with a MMA record of 19-6-0.

Satoko Shinashi


This entry is different from our usual fitness models, bodybuilders and physical trainers.
Satoko Shinashi is a female Japanese mixed martial arts fighter.
Of course no one doubts that MMA fighters are fit, a lot of the fitness models here and on my other fitness blogs use MMA training as one of their ways to stay in shape.

Satoko was born on January 29, 1977 in Tokyo, Japan.
(Hmmm...thats me, Liza Kampstra and Satoko all born on January 29th.)
She uses Judo, Sambo, and jiu-jitsu in her matches, and is known for her armbars.
Actually she is 28-2- 2 ( her website lists her record at 30-2-2 ) in fighting with 22 of those wins being via submission and 17 of those submissions were armbars.
Pretty much if she gets an armbar locked in, it's over.
Her two losses were to Mai Ichii by decision and Hisae Watanabe by knockout.



You wont be seeing her in the ring anytime soon though.
Back in January, it was announced that Satoko is pregnant.

You can visit her website here:
http://www.shinashi.com/

And here is a video of her in action against various opponents.

Liza Kampstra


The gorgeous Liza Kampstra is a knock out in more ways than one.
This young lady had to give up her first love soccer because of an injury.
But did that stop her?
Nope.
She began training with IFBB Pro Carla Sanchez and the Performance Ready Team and look at her now.
Now she's an IFBB Professional Fitness Athlete, Mom, MMA ring girl and model.
And she has started building a very impressive contest history.....

2007 NPC Gaspari Nutrition Jr. USA Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure Championships, 12th place
2007 NPC Junior Nationals Bodybuilding, Fitness And Figure Contest, 5th place
2007 NPC Team Universe Bodybuilding, Fitness And Figure Championships, 11th place

This muscular, lean, and feminine lady stands 5' 4" and weighs 115 lbs.
And judging from her photos, that's all muscle.
