Combat Information

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Combat Attitude: She's a long way from the Olympic stage where she made her mark, but J.J still conducts herself with all the temperance, dignity, and sportsmanship of an Olympic athlete. She's respectful, polite, and always seeks to start and end a match on a note of courtesy - but make no mistake, she's as competitive as any of the elite fighters in Momentum. Her friendliness ends when her opponent has shown themselves unworthy of it, and the easiest way to get on her shit list is to insult Taekwondo. Or worse, insinuate that it's not a real Martial Art. But even at her angriest, she's not here to cripple or brutalize or deliberately put someone in the hospital. She's no sadist and only a Psychopath is looking to cause lasting harm over a schoolyard insult. No, she's here to win, make money to support her family, prove Taekwondo reigns at the top of both the international and underground Martial Arts worlds, and single-handedly banish away the sick myth that it's unusable in a 'real fight'

And not necessarily in that order.

Combat Strategy: Other fighters may try to diversify their arsenal, finding expertise in both martial stand-up and the ground game. J.J, on the other hand, almost exclusively uses orthodox Taekwondo: she kicks. She kicks a lot. And while her narrow niche may cause her some problems against well-rounded opponents, its also endowed her with some of the most fast, brutal, well-executed kicks in the business. Crescent, roundhouse, spinning heel, rolling thunder - She fires off orthodox kicks like a machine gun, and makes the otherwise impractical ones look like child's play to execute. She comes in fast, fires off a vicious foot barrage to keep her opponent on the back foot, and then try to score a vicious head kick or chip away at them. While hardly her focus, J.J has a decent jab and some unwieldy leg-related submissions, though she will never, ever resort to the latter unless in the direst of situations. A submission win, after all, is not a Taekwondo win.

J.J has two physical gifts going for her: firstly, she's a natural southpaw that has trained to kick with equal skill from both sides, allowing her to strike at orthodox blindspots. The second gift is a variant of genetic hypermobility syndrome, allowing her remarkable flexibility. She's a marvel at yoga class. She's able to weasel her way out of certain holds with pure physicality, and kick her leg all the way up to smack someone trapping her in a chokehold right in the kisser. She would be an excellent Judoka if she ever tried grappling, but unfortunately, she has but one love and she does not believe in affairs. J.J's hypermobility and some begrudged anti-grappling tactics make her harder to submit for someone with nearly zero ground game, but its not a true substitute for defensive grappling, merely a chance to get her back onto her feet to where her action is.

Biography:

Personality: Determined, hot-blooded, patriotic - J.J is a do first, think later kinda gal. She's not strictly speaking stupid, but she is very impulsive in all things outside combat. She wears her soul on her sleeve, says what's on her mind so long as it doesn't hurt or wound without cause, likes what she likes, hates what she hates, and always follows her heart. And hey, it hasn't exactly led her astray so far. Her heart told her to fight mama's decision to force her to piano classes instead of doubling down on the dojo, and her heart told her she could take Taekwondo all the way to the top even when her brain doubted and second-guessed and denied. And now her heart is telling her she needs to fight the injustice that the other mainstream Martial Arts have inflicted upon Taekwondo and bring it back to dignity. And she has no doubts that she will achieve just that. As a Taekwondo prodigy, J.J is not lacking in confidence, but she's generally not arrogant. Or more accurately, she's socially aware enough to dial it back after her obnoxious teenage years. She's generally a pleasant -if sometimes loud and talkative and filterless- person to be around, but she has very little tolerance for bullies, schoolyard insults, grammar nazis, and mimes.

History:

If you asked J.J, she would say her life began when she, 8 and crying and separated from her mom by the morning crowds, walked into that dojo down at Gangnam-Gu. What she saw there she could only put to words years later: community, self-improvement of the body, discipline, and structure, the kindness of strangers willing to help a lost little girl out-

And most importantly, competition. The meeting of bodies and wills to see who was the best of the best. She loved Taekwondo from the moment she saw her first high kick smack right into a kicking bag, and she knew what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. For the next few months, she badgered her parents to let her join up. And while they were reluctant to include dojo fees in their lower-middle-class enrichment program for young J.J, they eventually relented. She was a child that drifted from interest to interest, they thought, surely she would hang around for a few weeks, find something else, and drift on to something else.

They were so fuckin' wrong; she latched onto it like a flea that found its dog, and she was great at it

Pre-junior championship golds started pouring in as she embarked on her opening years in Taekwondo. She ascended the ranks quickly, equal parts talent and zeal, getting her poom belt before her 12th birthday. A resounding victory at Junior Korea nationals led her to represent Korea in the World Juniors Taekwondo Championships where she obtained a silver - a resounding accomplishment by all accounts, but her first silver. Her first 2nd place. And she swore she would only see gold all the way to the Olympics and beyond. A promise she kept to herself very, very well. At the age of 16, she was in Rio contesting for flyweight gold. At age 18, fighting at home and hearth in South Korea during the Winter Olympics for Bantamweight. At age 21, seeking the Featherweight crown in Tokyo. Three Olympics, three gold medals. She became a national sports heroine, and who knew how many more golds she would bring in before she reached 30.

So it was to everyone's shock that she, in her first press conference after Tokyo, announced that she was retiring from Taekwondo competition for good. Now other eccentric sports celebrities might have left it at that, kept it a mystery as to why they would retire at the peak of their prime. J.J, on the other hand, brought out a huge dossier of collected articles and slammed it down onto her press table and slowly began calling them out by title one by one.

"Taekwondo will never succeed in the UFC, here's 15 reasons why."

"Taekwondo: Tradition or Hoax."

"Here's 20 Martial Arts better than Taekwondo at self-defense."

"The World beyond Taekwondo: Karate, Judo, Muay Thai, and more."

"Tae Kwon Do and Adolescent Psychosocial Development: How Korea's Most Popular Martial Art keeps you from your full potential."

"Undefeated BJJ Prodigy speaks: HAHAHAHAHAHAH Taekwondo was a mistake."

And on and on and on and on she went to the befuddlement of her audience. Once she was done (and it took a while), she said something to the tune of, "I can't pretend this isn't happening anymore. They think Taekwondo's a joke. Our National sport! And I'm gonna spend the rest of my career fighting against that so that our next generation of practitioners will be taken seriously." And so the speculation was that she was going to leverage her Olympic wins into a contract with the UFC and take the fight for legitimacy. But no, that was too sane and sensible and slow for ol' J.J. No, she got onto a flight to South America and that was the last anyone heard of her for the better part of a year. She disappeared into the world of underground martial arts and all but dropped off the map. Very rude.

... and popped up in the present in Momentum, slightly more rugged and slightly less innocent, and its clear at this point that I really hate fuckin' writing histories so I'm ending it here. Kthxbai.
