He is a 2-time K-1 World Grand Prix runner up, a 2-time K-1 Preliminary Grand Prix champion, and is a multiple time world champion in Kickboxing and Muay Thai.
Jérôme Le Banner was born in the French city ofLe Havre, in therégion ofNormandy and began training injudo at the age of five. When he was fourteen,Bruce Lee'sFist of Fury influenced him so much that he became interested in striking instead and started trying to incorporate the techniques ofJeet Kune Do he had seen in the film. At sixteen however he started practisingkyokushin, whileJeet Kune Do gave him thesouthpaw stance which he has maintained throughout his career, even though he is right-handed. He eventually took upMuay Thai at the age of 18.[1] Le Banner holds ablack belt in theKyokushin Kaikan karate and injudo.[2]
At the age of 18, he debuted in his first full contactkickboxing competitions. By 19 he held theISKA French title and soon after that, he won theEuropean belt against Andy Mayo, and the Intercontinental belt inSouth Africa againstMike Bernardo. He turned down the chance to fight Richard Vince for the IKL World Kickboxing title at the age of 21.
