Lauren Sugihara - Muay Thai Fighter

This is DJ, model and Muay Thai fighter Lauren Sugihara.
Her DJ name by the way is DJ Ms.Vicious.
Appropriate huh?
Besides DJing modeling and fighting, Lauren was also in the 2007 WWE Diva Search.
Imagine had she won....

Anyway, Lauren's teacher is legendary coach and MMA Zen-master, Clarence Thatch who trained with the Gracies and Bruce Lee.
Thatch's training may have helped save Lauren's life.
You see, Lauren is an alcoholic, and she credits Master Thatch and 3-D Martial Arts' Muay Thai training with helping to lift her up and help her overcome her addiction.

If you wanna see Lauren in action, take a look at this video from YouTube

Karen is beautiful inside and out.
She's a fitness beauty that really is a nice person.

She has her ISSA personal training certification, she's a fitness model, a bikini competitor and a CBBF Canadian National Figure Competitor.

Karen recently competed at the BC Provincial Championships and came in 2nd in Bikini.
Why not 1st?
I have no idea.

Natalie Pennington - IFBB Bikini Pro

While doing research on these Asian fitness beauties, occasionally I run across someone that is so amazing, I can't believe I hadn’t found her before.
Stunning half Korean, half French IFBB Bikini Pro Natalie Pennington is one of those women.
I think Natalie ranks right up there in the top five most beautiful women I have ever presented on this blog.

IFBB Bikini is a new female fitness competition, just started this year by the IFBB (The International Federation of BodyBuilders), and at first, some people just looked at it as a glorified bikini competition, designed to sell more tickets.

But having seen these ladies in action, I think opinions are changing, as these women work just as hard as other female fitness competitors to get the look the judges want.
Some women have even crossed over from IFBB Figure over to bikini.

Back to Natalie though, this young lady can do something none of the other competitors can do.
She can make you look forward to a trip to the dentist.
Yes, Natalie is a full time dentist.

Natalie has appeared as a fitness model in issue 12 of Status Fitness Magazine, and I think you will see a LOT more of this gorgeous woman in the coming months.

Competition History:
2008 MuscleMania Fitness America Weekend - 5th Place
2008 UNBA Fitness America Southern Cal Regional - 1st Place
2009 NPC Team Universe - 2nd Place
2009 NPC USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships - 2nd Place
2009 NPC Contra Costa Bodybuilding, Figure & Fitness Championships - 1st Place
2010 IFBB MuscleContest Pro Bikini - 5th Place
2010 IFBB New Zealand Pro Figure & Bikini - 2nd Place

More Fitness Beauty Monique Minton

Of all the the female fitness models I've done on this blog, Monique Minton is hands down the favorite.
This lovely figure competitor and spokes model has scored again, appearing on what I think is her second Flex Magazine cover.
And this five foot, ten inch, one hundred and fifty pound, half filipinia beauty has added to her contest history since my first write up.
In addition to her other figure competitions, you can now add 1st place at the 2009 NPC USA Bodybuilding & Figure Championships.
Yes Monique took first place!

What's next for her?
Well I have heard rumors of a possible MMA career.
Over at PureFight they have an interview with Monique after she won a gold medal in the no gi division at Naga Europa.
You can see it here.
Can you imagine Monique Minton in the steel cage?
