Field was born in Virginia Beach, Virginia and graduated
from the University of South Carolina. He moved to Los
Angeles in 1994 to study acting and martial arts. In 1995
he became a student at the prestigious Howard Fine Acting
Studios. In this same year, Jason found the legendary
Jun Chong Tae Kwon Do School in West Hollywood. Consumed
by both passions, he quickly excelled, earning a full
scholarship for acting and a black belt in martial arts.
By 1997 Jason had made numerous TV
and National commercial appearances. Although his love
for acting would continue, the martial arts calling became
loud and clear. In 2002, he opened the first branch of
Jun Chong Tae Kwon Do in Vail, Colorado. The school, Inyodo
Martial Arts, would be the culmination of years of dedication
and diligence. Jason had achieved his martial arts goals
set in early 1994. It wasn’t until 2005, nearly
eleven years since his first acting class, that Jason
would achieve the goal he set out to accomplish as an
actor. In August 2005 Master Chong approached Jason for
the lead role in “Maximum Cage Fighting.”
A Martial Arts Movie!
Jason’s biggest thrill in MCF
was training with grappling legends Renzo Gracie, Rigan
Machado, and Gerson Sanginitto. After intense training
for the film Jason immersed himself in the world of mixed
martial arts. In 2006 he promoted the first “Ring
of Fire” Mixed Martial Arts Championships, in Vail.
He has begun to train professional mixed martial art fighters
and has several athletes fighting in the Denver, Colorado
area. Through all his successes Jason reflects fondly
on that fateful day he met his Master and became inspired
by a man named Jun Chong. He says that through martial
arts he has made a living and a dream come true. Jason
spends time between Vail and Los Angeles and will continue,
like his master before him, to train as an actor and martial
artist.
