Steve Terada

Born :February 15

Hometown: Thousand Oaks, California, USA

Fav. move: Terada grab 

Fav. song: Yellowcard – Rough Draft

Inspiration: My sister for inspiring me to dance! Hiro Koda for teaching me not to take myself too seriously. My mom for helping me excel in my career by supporting me in every way possible. I don’t know how you do it!

About Him:Some might say I have a career identity problem. I continue to morph between being a dancer, extreme martial artist, martial arts instructor, tricker, and stunt guy! You might have seen me on ESPN2 winning world titles in extreme forms or tricking at the U.S. Open, or falling off a bike in Memoirs of a Geisha. I am very fortunate that what I do appeals to young people. It has allowed me to exhibit my sport as an alternative to drugs and alcohol in Tahiti, reintroduce Korean youth to their national sport (Tae Kwon Do) in a new and exciting light, and use it as a performance tool to support causes I believe in. Currently I am representing Paul Mitchell Systems in their Head for Change campaign for youth.

Steve Terada is of Japanese descent.
