Angela Mao - Biography

She had a successful career as a Chinesa Opera actress, where her flexibility and martial arts first developed. Then, she trained in hapkido, and felt attracted to the new kung fu style, on demand by Hong Kong producers. Her career, if not long, was impressive, as she was one of the first women to make that sort of break-through in the film industry, until then reserving the fights and acrobatics to men. She retired from films in 1982 to devote herself to her family.
