♕ Number 17 in our celebration posts is Jeeja Yanin. Jeeja was a weak child, prone to illness and spending long bouts of sickness in hospital. At 11 years old, Jeeja’s mother encouraged her to take up taekwondo to help build up her strength, and instil confidence in herself, which she avidly took up with her four cousins; by the time she was 14 she had earned her black belt. Her skill at taekwondo, combined with her formal ballet training, helped her win an award for choreography at the 1999 Thailand Taekwondo Championships, leading her to say “I like taekwondo. It makes me feel free – free to run around, free to move. Most importantly, it makes me feel that women are just as capable as men.” She was invited to make a demo for Panna, who in turn passed it on to acclaimed Thai director Prachya Pinkaew (Chocolate, Ong Bak, Tom Yum Goong 1 & 2). She made an instant impression on him with her fighting skills, and when he was asked whether he knew a female lead that could star in an action film, he immediately thought of Jeeja and came up with a script just for her. The result: "Chocolate"; a film that cements Jeeja’s status as a versatile, talented fighter. During filming she does all her own stunts and outtakes at the end of the films show how serious some of the injuries she sustains are. “I had to perform at the height of 50 feet without safety equipment and minimal standing space. It was scary. But I had to endure it. I had to get used to it.” ♡ ♕
