14 Most Savage Celebrity Martial Artists
3. Ed O'Neill
You may know him from hit TV shows such as Married... With Children or, more recently, Modern Family, but other than his comedy chops, Ed O'Neill is known as the OG of celebrity martial artists.
Convinced to take it up by John Milius, the screenwriter for Red Dawn and Conan The Barbarian, O'Neill began his jiu-jitsu journey over 20 years ago, under the tutelage of one of the UFC's founders Rorion Gracie. He hasn't looked back since, becoming a black belt in the martial art all the way in 2007.
According to the Emmy award winning actor, only the birth of his children surpasses the feeling of earning his black belt, so that goes to show how much it means to him.
