A quick study on the mat, Brown recently won several Indiana Tae Kwon Do state championships in Creative Forms, XMA Forms, Forms and Creative Weapons categories.
Three-time NHRA Top Fuel champion Antron Brown has earned his black belt—accomplishing that after less than 2 ½ years of studying Tae Kwon Do.
Even though it rarely happens, but going forward, if fellow NHRA Top Fuel drivers get incensed at Antron Brown on a dragstrip, heed these words of warning: tread lightly … because you are dealing with a black belt! “For me, I have that mindset, you always finish what you start and what you do in life,” Brown said. “I started doing Tae Kwon Do with my son, who wanted to do it with me.
“I rescheduled my time at the shop, working and doing all the stuff that we do, I really sacrificed the time to do that,” Brown said. “It was crazy, but it was a lot of fun and it was totally worth it because I was doing something I’ve never done before. It’s making me do things that I’ve never done, like stretching and strengthening muscles that I never knew I had.”NHRA/Nartional Dragster
“It’s just a matter of learning, growing and using it to stay in physical shape for me to race. I’ve got a lot more leg power, kicking power, more quickness response and more hand-to-eye coordination for sparring doing combat.” “So, it gives me a peace of mind to go to a whole ‘nother realm to focus. And then when I’m able to go back to racing, I’ve learned to focus on where I’m at at that given time.”
