Please enjoy what we have researched and put together for your enjoyment!!
Born and raised in London, England, Adrian Paul boasts a colorful background. Adrian's mother was Italian and his father British.
Around age 10 he attended a Rugby school, and tried out for the Wimbledon team when he was around sixteen. He played semi-pro soccer for Bromley Town and Beckenham Town teams too.
In 1979 his current girlfriend submitted a photo of him for a contest, and he won!
 He began some modeling, then as a dancer and choreographer he traveled with a small dance troupe across Europe. His jazz ballet background helped!
Adrian is a world traveler and speaks English, French, and Italian fluently as well as several other languages.
In 1985, he left Europe and came to the United States to pursue a dance and modeling career.
Even though he had studied Shakespeare and performed in school plays when he was younger, acting was not a focus.
He signed with the Ford Modeling Agency in New York. Waiting tables in restaurants and bars, he was down to $12 in his pocket when his big break came.

  Adrian has studied various Martial Arts forms for many years, beginning about 1988.
As of 2006 he had studied with Vernon Rieta for at least 14 years. With his "Sensei" (master teacher) Adrian has studied the Kung Fu artform Hung Gar extensively.
In addition, Adrian has dabbled in Aikido, Tae-Kwon-Do, Qi Gong, Karate, and boxing. He admits playing with the styles of Saam ying kuen and Choy Lee Fut. He currently has been dabbling in Tai Chi and at the HLWW9 event (LA, 2009) he taught several classes to the fans.
He has also done extensive sword training with the Japanese Katana and many other weapons with Bob Anderson and F.Braun McAsh. (MA-Insider June 2002)
With each movie, play or tv role that requires a physical fight scene, Adrian intensely studies and choreographs with whoever his co-star might be, gaining even more knowledge and experience.
