Sydney Sweeney Trained in Martial Arts Under Gene LeBell

“When I was 12 or 13, I started training kickboxing and grappling,” Sweeney said, revealing she trained at Gokor Hayastan under Gene LeBell and Benny “The Jet” Urquidez until age 19. LeBell also coached Roddy Piper and Ronda Rousey. Sweeney recently portrayed boxing legend Christy Martin in Christy, which performed poorly at the box office.
