Jrme Le Banner was born in the French city of Le Havre, in the rgion of Normandy and began training in judo at the age of five. When he was sixteen, Bruce Lees Fist of Fury influenced him so much that he started practicing kyokushin instead, while trying to incorporate the techniques of Jeet Kune Do he had seen in the film. Jeet Kune Do gave him the southpaw stance which he has maintained throughout his career, even though he is righthanded. He eventually took up kickboxing at age of 18. Le Banner holds a black belt in the Kyokushin Kaikan style of karate and in judo.
