[December 6, 2013 - Interview by Pattee Mak] Ok you are probably wondering why is Pattee Mak interviewing two world renowned kickboxers, Hamid Lahrizi and his amazing 9 year old son, Nassim “Young Dragon” Faras Lahrizi on fightkings boxing website about their upcoming movie role in “The Martial Arts Kid”. Well I’ll tell ya why. Because after all these two individuals are very talented and in order to be a kickboxer well…. you need to be able to box. And besides who doesn’t love a great fighting, knock down, spit’em out movie with great dialogue.
So before we get into the interview, here’s some background on each of them. Lahrizi has been in the martial arts since the age of 5 years old and an international champion in karate and kickboxing. He is the proud owner since 1990 of his own martial arts academy called “Hamid’s Academy” in Brockton, Massachusetts and just recently became the President of the World Kickboxing Council (WKC) representing the United States of America. He is an 8th degree black belt and the proud father to Nassim “Young Dragon”. Now Nassim when you first meet him, he’s a shy, quiet, typical 9 year old but his accomplishments to date are outstanding. 103 titles globally. He’s like the Mayweather of the arts. Here’s a link to his facebook page because I know if I started to list all of his gold, silver, bronze etc etc medals, you’d be reading forever. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nassim-Young-Dragon/709664212383412.
