Why 9 out of 10 Martial Artists Choose Team Jacob

Okay, okay, I admit it.  I read the Twilight books LONG before the movies came out and enjoyed them enough to put a set in my classroom....and replaced them twice after swarms of young ladies took them home, never to be seen again. :)

Taylor Lautner, plays the character of Jacob in the films, most noticably in New Moon where he's revealed the results of his new workout regimen.

Few people know that Taylor came up in the martial arts world, and it was his big break into Hollywood!  His skills won him the title role of Sharkboy in the 2005 Robert Rodriguez film, The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D, a film which showcased his skills!  When he was eleven, he was ranked number one in the world for NASKA's Black Belt Open Forms, Musical Weapons, Traditional Weapons and Traditional Forms and, at the age of twelve, he won the Junior World Championships.

Here's a clip of Taylor in the 2003 World Series of Martial Arts:



Awwwww, what a cutie.  He's quite good!  Imagine Jacob doing THAT.

Take that, Robert Pattinson.
