Holding 5 amatuer titles
UNDEFEATED

To be # 1 Kickboxer in the world

165

I started training in martial arts at the age of 18 months. I am studying death ki do a style of karate originated by my grandfather and his brother. I am a sixth degree black belt with five amatuer titles. i am now looking for my first pro fight. If you are holding a title I am coming for it.

I am currently 19-0 standing at approx 6 feet 165 pounds a sixth degree black belt holding five amatuer titles. I no longer desire to fight amatuer. THATS RIGHT I wants to go PRO. I am currently in the running to be on the USA team for the pan-american games in Beijing sponsor by KICK. I have already won the first of a series of elimination matches to qualify the top kickboxers in the usa. Promoters get me fights I can make us money. I CANT BE BEAT.

I devote all my time now to martial arts training. This fight style was created by my great uncle L.R. Butcher known as Sonny, and my grandfather Edward Butcher Sr. known as Eddie. Uncle Sonny trained under many Grandmasters who taught various styles of martial arts. Sonny studied Tae Kwon Do, Buddah Khan, Shou Ron Rue, Jue Jitz Zue, Shou Dae Kan, Hop Ki Do, Ty Chi, and Ish An Rue. After mastering these styles He cultivated his own style Death Ki Do. Sonny taught this style he created to all his family. My father, his nephew Eddie Jr., took to the style more than the rest of the family. Eddie Sr. brought weightlifting and boxing to the Death Ki Do style to perfect an already powerful and masterful form of Karate. The Three together train and tweeked and perfected the style creating various champions. The greatest accomplishment was the creation of an indestructable peice of machinery named Devin Butcher the son of Eddie jr. Their are many more champion fighters in the family with superior skills. In the Eyes of the grandmaster a white belt is the most dangerous fighter around and it holds true. We have an elite group of white yellow and green belts that can eliminate a brown or black belt in point or full contact fighting.

Eddie Butcher’s grandfather introduced kickboxing to his nine sons. All of them dabbled in the sport. Butcher’s father, Eddie Butcher Sr. and uncle L.R. Butcher even earned a black belt in multiple styles of karate eventually creating their own style Death Ki Do. "Our family reunion was really a family bout," says the third-generation martial arts pro. "We would put on gear and spar a while and then eat."

Today, Eddie Butcher continues the family legacy. At 5-feet-9-inches tall and 175 pounds, Eddie holds three world kickboxing championship titles: Champions Karate Association, Fight Factory Kickboxers Association and the Continuance Contact Championship. Butcher also fought on a U.S. karate team, winning a gold medal at the South Africa World Championships in 1986.

In fact, he has fought all over the world - South Africa, Belgium, Germany, London - and always is looking for the next title bout. He wouldn’t mind one that is closer to home, he says. "I’ve never defended any of my titles at home in Baltimore. I want the people at home to know that I’m representing them."

With his son Devin, Eddie Butcher runs the Butcher’s Martial Arts School, where children and adults can learn basic self-defense and kickboxing, as well as self-discipline and "personal courage."

We always had to enter championship competitions the hard way - without a promoter or sponsor. But that hasn’t stopped a man with a wildly aggressive style, which includes stunts and gymnastics. Now, one of his goals is to star in action films such as Kickboxer I and II and Bloodsport, which increased the sport’s popularity in the United States
