Jade Marie Anderson – Busan Team MAD |
I spent a brief time over at Busan Team MAD MMA training facility where Kim Dong Hyun from the UFC trains. It’s arguably the premier MMA team in South Korea and I plan on going back in the new year. While there I met an EPIK English teacher also from the states. A fantastic girl named Jade Marie Anderson (her Sherdog profile).
It’s ok if you don’t take that last statement seriously because you haven’t actually practiced with her. But I have. At 6’3″ and 20+ years of judo experience and cross-training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I quickly learned that I needed to bring all my assets to the table when grappling with her. Still don’t believe me? Wrestle me first, then re-read this!
Don’t let the sweet all-American girl thing fool you – she will break your neck!

Nice post Tom. I too had the chance to train with Jade, and I have to say that she is incredibly strong, athletic, and talented. She is also nice and has a good attitude.
I hope her success in the future.
