Started by a 30-year Martial Artist, Red Cross Instructor, athlete and life-long health and fitness enthusiast Jae Sinclair, Bladed Body is not just a brand but a lifestyle. The name “Bladed Body” is a reference to a defensive fighting posture as well as “shredding weight” and “getting cut.” All things you will learn as part of the Bladed Body community.
The Creator
Bladed Body was created by Jae Sinclair, a former foster-child who was raised in some of the worst neighborhoods in New York during the height of the crack era. Having spent most of his youth fighting, Sinclair found discipline in Tae Kwon Do at an early age through an after-school program. After decades of taking multiple martial arts, including Kung Fu, Capoeira and Jujitsu, Sinclair returned to his original Tae Kwon Do school (Chang Moo Kwan) and restarted his journey to obtain a black belt. After almost eight years of training and winning a number of national martial arts tournaments, his goal was achieved. He is now an official Chang Moo Kwan Black Belt under Master Geoffrey Canada and Grand Master Ozzie Wright Jr.
One summer, Sinclair witnessed a man having CPR administered by police officers. As the officers were drenched in sweat, waiting for EMT’s to arrive, Sinclair watched helplessly having no confidence in his CPR abilities having not had training in many years. As a result Sinclair became a CPR, First Aid and AED Instructor in 2016 as a way to help ensure that anyone who lacked the confidence can get it from him. One interesting fact is that Sinclair himself administered CPR three times within a year of becoming certified!
