FITNESS

MEET CHLOE BRUCE, THE FOUNDER OF THE CHLOE BRUCE ACADEMY, WHICH LAUNCHED IN 2021. A BUSINESS OFFERING VIRTUAL MARTIAL ARTS CLASSES AND TUTORIALS. THE ACADEMY, WHICH OFFERS ON-DEMAND AND LIVE CLASSES, HAS TAUGHT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, RANGING FROM BEGINNERS TO PROFESSIONALS, INCLUDING ACTORS LEARNING NEW SKILLS FOR ACTION ROLES. BEFORE LAUNCHING HER BUSINESS, CHLOE WAS A STUNT DOUBLE FOR SOME OF HOLLYWOOD’S LEADING ACTORS SUCH AS ZOE SALDANA IN GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY AND DAISY RIDLEY IN STAR WARS. HOWEVER, AFTER HAVING HAD HER FAIR SHARE OF BEING THROWN AROUND ON WIRES AND FIGHTING SOME OF HOLLYWOOD’S BIGGEST BADDIES, SHE DECIDED TO TAKE ON A NEW TYPE OF CHALLENGE – LAUNCHING HER OWN BUSINESS. CHLOE SAID: “AS A MUM OF TWO JUGGLING WORK AND CHILDCARE, HAVING AN ONLINE BUSINESS HAS BEEN ESSENTIAL IN ENSURING I MAINTAIN A WORK-LIFE BALANCE. MY DREAM WAS ALWAYS TO LAUNCH A VIRTUAL PLATFORM, AND WHEN COVID-19 MEANT THAT PEOPLE WERE FORCED TO STAY AT HOME, IT FELT LIKE THE RIGHT TIME TO FORMALLY LAUNCH TO THE PUBLIC AFTER YEARS OF PLANNING.”

RISE TO FAME

Chloe Bruce has been a Martial Artist since the age of 8, gaining 12 World titles and numerous British and European titles in a competitive career which spanned over 20 years. Chloe also currently holds 3 Guinness World Records and has recently developed her own online digital Training Academy, Chloe Bruce Academy, so others can follow in her footsteps.

Chloe really has dedicated her life to the pursuit of success, she has also been a very successful Stunt Performer doubling some of Hollywood’s most famous actresses, and all this while being a mum to her children, Harriet and George. I hope that by reading this, we can show you what is possible with hard work and dedication.

THIS IS HER STORY...

Growing up in Essex I first fell in love with martial arts at the age of 8. I studied in a Korean art called ‘Tang Soo Do’ and shortly after starting I realised that I had a new found passion and hobby. After only a year of training, I found myself competing at the British Championships.

RISE TO FAME

In 1996, at 12 years old I became World Champion in both Musical and traditional Forms. I will never forget the feeling I felt, standing on the podium listening to the British national anthem whilst watching the tears of pride roll down my parents faces. 12 World titles later, I decided to retire from competition in 2011. I had found a new passion and avenue that my martial arts took me down, and there was nothing holding me back... I was going to be a stunt woman!

I never take anything I do lightly and this wasn’t to be any different. Over the last 10 years I have been fortunate enough to be the stunt double for some of Hollywood’s leading actors such as Zoe Saldana in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, Daisy Ridley in ‘Star Wars’, Sylvia Hoeks, in ‘Bladerunner 2049’ & Jamie Alexander in ‘Thor 2, to name a few’. I have been thrown around on wires, fought some of the meanest bad guys in Hollywood, got to sand board down the highest dunes in Abu Dhabi and ride the speeder through Jakku. All whilst teaching around the World at seminars and events and still performing at

guest appearances. I was in the height of my career. Life couldn’t get any better, or so I thought…

In 2017, I had my first child, a daughter called Harriet, followed by my son, George, in 2019. My oh my did they make an impact on my life! They taught me how to slow down, how to enjoy the little things, and that my little family was now priority. I knew a lot had to change in order to spend the quality time I wanted to spend with my family. So I decided to go back into education with other visions lying ahead of me.

I wanted to create a Worldwide platform to teach others and give back to the sport in a way in which I didn’t have to travel constantly to teach and empower.

So in 2018 I qualified as a level 3 personal trainer and in 2019 as a Yoga instructor. With even more knowledge under my belt, I decided now was a great time to set up my Worldwide training platform. It was a tough journey, there were setbacks and challenges to overcome. I had to believe in myself more now than ever. I knew that with continued small steps it would keep me on the right path and it worked.

In September of 2021 the Chloe Bruce Academy was born and I haven’t looked back.
