Asian Fitness Beauties

So I have Asian Hubs and Fitness Hubs, so why not combine the two of them and do an Asian Fitness Hub?
So I did.
And here is the result, chock full of female bodybuilders, female mixed martial artists, female fitness models and female fitness competitors.

Amateur bodybuilder Rebekah Kresila is from Cleveland, Ohio.
Rebekah is a certified personal trainer and has training as a classical pianist.
Do a search for her on the internet and you will find tons of videos and pictures were she's posing, flexing, doing mixed wrestling and arm wrestling.

Satoko Shinashi was born on January 29th (my birthday!), 1977 in Tokyo, Japan and is a female MMA fighter.
Mixed martial arts fighters have to be in shape, a lot of the fitness models use MMA training as a way to stay in shape.
Satoko is trained in Judo, Sambo (a Russian martial art), and jiu-jitsu in her matches, and is known for her armbars.
Her MMA record is 29-2- 2 with 23 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 only MMA losses were to Mai Ichii by decision and Hisae Watanabe by knockout.
Satoko's last win was over Yukiko Seki (submission via arm bar) at Deep - 38 Impact on October 23rd, 2008 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.

And here is the lady that handed Satoko Shinashi her first loss, Hisae Watanabe.
Hisae was born on October 21, 1980 in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan and shes a female MMA fighter and former kickboxer.
She has been competing since 2002 and in her first fight she was disqualified for using an illegal kick.
Satoko is a former DEEP Ladies' Lightweight champion and she has a MMA record of 19-6-0.
And yes, that leopard print two piece outfit is her standard fighting gear.

Denise Paglia was very popular in the fitness magazines in the 90s, and her fame has carried over to today.
You may remember her from the 90s TV show, Fitness Beach on ESPN2.
I read that she was of Japanese and Italian descent and she is sometimes listed as Denise Paglia Cole.
Not only is Denise is a Certified AFAA Fitness Trainer, but she was a fitness competitor as well.
Denise placed in the 1992 and 1993 Fitness America National Pageants, and she came in 5th at the 1995 Fitness Olympia.
She was on the cover of the very first issue of the fitness magazine, Muscle & Fitness Hers.

This is Asian-American female bodybuilder Michelle Jin.
She was born in China, but moved to the US when she 18.
Michelle is competing in amateur contests right now, mainly in natural bodybuilding.
Other than that, I don't have a lot of info on her.
Then again, her mass and definition speaks for itself.
Like Rebekah Kresila, Michelle does a lot of posing and wrestling videos.

Tanji Johnson is not only a fitness competitor, but a former American Gladiator to boot!
On American Gladiators, her character was "Stealth".
She is of Black/Korean decent and was born in Bamberg, Germany.
In addition to being a fitness competitor and Gladiator, she is a personal trainer, NPC Promoter and writer.
Since American Gladiators, Tanji has gone back into competition heavy.
Tanji sponsored her own fitness competition in 2011, The Tanji Johnson Vancouver 2011.
Starting with the 2002 IFBB Arnold Classic And Internationals, Tanji has competed in almost forty competitions.

Beautiful Lisa Cheng is not only a bodybuilder, but a rock climber as well,
She's so good at rock climbing, she's earned the nickname, “Hong Kong Spider Woman”.
Besides rock-climbing, I have heard that she might be looking at getting into MMA.
Lisa has a respectable contest history....

Jung Dayeon is the woman who started the "momjjang" (hot body) fad in Korea.
She transformed herself through exercise and diet, and is known as an expert on physical training and exercise now.
Jung has released a popular fitness book, a DVD called "Momjjang Diet" and even been in a K-drama (in Korea) called "Aquarius" where she played a fitness instructor.
You can see parts of her Figurerobics DVD on YouTube.

Maria Kang is a fitness model, group director, fitness manager, personal trainer, communications specialist and spokesperson, but if you read very much about this beautiful young lady, you will see that her favorite role is mother. Read anything on her website and that love and dedication will shine through everything.
She is of Filipina, and Malaysian Chinese descent.

Female mixed martial artist Rin Nakai almost fits into two categories
One...she is a female MMA fighter.
Two...she looks like she could go into bodybuilding if she wanted to.
Yeah I know, she maybe too big of a woman for some peoples taste.
Despite how big she looks in pictures though, Rin is only five foot one and weighs in at 145.
Her current MMA record is 10-0-1.
I wonder if we will see Rin come to America and go up against Cris "Cyborg" Santos soon?

Huong Vo is a Vietnamese NPC figure athlete.
It looks as though Huong may have stopped competing, since the last figure competition I can find for her is in 2008.

2007 NPC Junior Nationals Bodybuilding, Fitness And Figure Contest - 16th Place

And by the way, Cheri is also a MMA ring girl and aspiring fighter.
Cheri's life has been no walk in the park, she had to overcome a lot of adversity to get to where she is today.
Due to mental and physical abuse (from her family), she lived in children’s homes and was in state custody from the age fourteen to eighteen.
But in 2000, she started weight training after the birth of her son.
