Mark Hoadley, a 2012 inductee into the Martial Arts Masters Hall of Fame, a 2013 Honor day recipient at The Martial Arts History Museum, a 2017 inductee into USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame, and a 2018 inductee into ALLPRO TAE KWON DO Hall of Fame.
Mark Hoadley's journey to acting began in his childhood, growing up in a small Midwestern town, where he developed a unique perspective on life. From a young age, he knew that making movies was his destiny, and he was determined to make it happen. Despite the challenges he faced, he remained steadfast in his resolve to succeed in the entertainment industry.
After relocating to California, Hoadley began training under the guidance of Sifu Scott Cohen, a renowned martial artist and student of Grand Master Dr. Kam Yuen, who taught the rare and unique art of Tai Mantis Kung Fu. Sifu Kam Yuen was also the consultant and choreographer of the popular David Carradine Kung Fu television series in the 1970s. Hoadley's dedication and hard work eventually paid off, as he achieved the rank of black belt in 1994 and later became a Sifu in the Northern Shaolin, Praying Mantis Kung Fu system in 2002.
Throughout his career, Hoadley has been involved in various independent film projects, working as an actor, stunt coordinator, and screenwriter. He has also appeared in numerous television shows and commercials. Furthermore, he has written two screenplays, with his second project, "Mark of the Cobra", currently in development and pre-production.
