Antonio San Miguel is a martial artist and experienced paid working
actor. Even growing up in often harsh and gritty urban settings, he was
often scouted for tv commercials and print ads. Just before his
pre-teen years though, his dreams of acting and modeling were put aside
to his martial arts training in which his family enrolled him in to
instill some discipline. He thanks his parents for this decision as it
kept him off the streets and to this day even credits the martial arts
for saving him from a life of crime and violence. Since then, he
trained diligently in several styles and quickly rose up the ranks to
become an instructor in his early teens. During his mid-teens, he began
competing in mixed martial arts and it wasn't long before he started
competing with several organizations and amassing an impressive
win/loss record with many KOs/submissions. During this time, he also
began training in professional wrestling and quickly became a top
light-heavyweight contender in several independent federations around
the tri-state area. While touring with these federations under the name
"The Young Dragon", he wrestled on the same cards featuring the likes
of WWE legends Tito Santana, Superfly Jimmy Snuka, and The Iron Sheik
to name a few. In his early 20s a shoulder injury nearly ended his
career as a fighter and a wrestler. Refusing to give up, after
recuperating "The Dragon" trained vigorously until he was able to
compete again. Now experienced in several styles of martial arts, he
put his fight career on hold to once again pursue his other love,
acting and modeling. He was featured in Wrestle-America Magazine and
MartialArtsConcepts.com, among other various publications. Some of his
projects include, Fight The Panda Syndicate where he co-stars as the
main villain, an Asian Mafia Boss named Xiongmao, Subject 87 where he
co-stars as Detective Sanchez and he was also seen on Law & Order:
Criminal Intent. In between projects, he works as a freelance martial
arts instructor who also offers personal training and massage therapy.
