Career
Between 1981 and 1985, Rothrock was World Champion of both forms and weapons five times. These categories are not combat-focused, rather than combating, and they are not sorted into male and female categories, but equally open to both sexes.
In her first 38 tournaments, she finished first in forms 32 times and first place in weapons 12 times, including competing in "Men's Forms" three out of four times as there was no Women's Division. She was the "Grand Master" of five tournaments and finished in first place in four out of five fighting events.
She holds seven black belts and sashes in various Far Eastern martial arts, including Tang Soo Do, Taekwondo (Korean), Eagle Claw (Chinese), Wushu, Ng Ying Kung Fu, and Pai Lum White Dragon Kung Fu. In Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan, she earned her 6th degree black belt. She was first tested by Grand Master Robert Kovaleski, 9th Dan and Chair of the I.T.M.A., and was promoted by him to 7th degree black belt in 2011 and 8th degree black belt in 2015. She is a martial arts instructor, and her favorite weapons are hook swords.
Rothrock was inducted into the Black Belt Magazine Hall of Fame in 1983 as "Female Competitor of the Year."

Rothrock was discovered by Golden Harvest in Los Angeles, California, when she was on Ernie Reyes' West Coast Demonstration Team. Yes, Madam (also known as Police Assassins or In the Line of Duty Part 2), which also starred Michelle Yeoh, was two years (1985) later. It was a box office hit. She stayed in Hong Kong until 1988, shooting seven films there. Possibly her first film was 24 Hours to Midnight, a Leo Fong directed film in which also starred Stack Pierce, Juan Chapa, and Bernie Pock.
Rothrock was one of the few western actors to break into genuine filmmaking in Hong Kong before achieving success in their own country. In several Hong Kong films, she was credited as "Fu Lok Law" or "Foo Lok Law." Pierre David, a producer, was responsible for Rothrock's ascension to the United States. In Martial Law, Rothrock's first U.S. film, David gave her a co-starring role with Chad McQueen. She had a fruitful career in B-grade action films for the next ten years.
