Today we’d like to introduce you to Robert Beecham.
Hi Robert, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My story started in Frederickburgs, Virginia in a small local hospital. My early years were spent in Northfolk, Virginia. You can say it’s military land where majority of the population is associated with the military base. Most days were spent at Virginia beach and at the local basketball court with my uncle. My father’s ventures eventually called us down south where Georgia was our next destination. First time in the South, we seemed not to be able get away from a place called “ClayCo”. For those that don’t know, I’m talking about Clayton County, Georgia. I say this because we moved from three different homes and I also attended three different high schools that were all in Clayton County. What’s the saying? “Clayco raised me, nawe F that ClayCo made me”. I would say that best fits the description. I spent a lot of my free time in early years watching Martial arts Films like “Fist of Furry, Iron Monkey, and The One.” I also took to dancing watching every “How to dance” cassette tape out. This interest quickly showed my mom where to drop me off next, a martial arts studio. I spent the next ten years at that studio “Martial Arts America” studying Kempo Karate. I attended three different high schools, Jonesboro High, Forest Park High, and my alumni Stockbridge high school. I participated in several different sports like football, Track & Field, wrestling, and taking martial art classes after school hours. You can say most of my focus was on sports. They would soon grow into the arts unknowingly. After graduating, I took a year off to see if my skills could be translated into training others and soon, I would become a Georgia Perimeter College student and then a Georgia State student pursuing a business degree. I realized soon that College was not for me and I decided to join the workforce for the next four years in Logistics.
When I was working in Logistics, I met so many kind and wise souls along my journey and I can say those experiences gave me the boost I needed to jump fully into any ventures moving forward. These Past Few years has consisted on constant training and work. Taking on Kickboxing and MMA fights, acting in television series and feature films. Closing out this year with a clear focused mind having gratitude and excitement along the way. 2022, hold on to your seats!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
By no means was the road I traveled easy, smooth, or regular. Many losses happened over the years and one of the first ones was not having my older brother around. So because of his absence, there was a void for a big brother and in some way, I did not know how to be an older brother to my siblings. Still to this day understanding the big brother role is no easy task, but getting older and having the opportunity to have many conversations with my older brother has helped. Living in a somewhat secluded area I was always outside playing and having fun, visiting other neighborhoods that friends were living in. Many times I would represent my friend’s neighborhood for the fact I basically lived there. As I got older, I began to participate in many sports which is where a lot of my friends were made up of. Death was a touchy subject for me back then. Losing my good friend Kyle Nelson hit home for me. We were teammates that made up one hell of a wrestling family that became of the best teams ever to wrestle at Forest Park High school. As a team, we spent pretty much everyday with each other during season. Following that those Forest Park years, I transferred to my alumni, Stockbridge High school. New neighborhood, and new school, I was lucky enough to had already known some friends through sports like football, track & field. The losses of life did not stop there. Redd Charlton, one of the real ones. Redd was the cool guy at school that always had the respect from everyone and I always wanted to be something like that. The biggest loss my team and family has ever took was losing our middle linebacker, Cameron Gordon. The kindest, goofy, talented, hardworking leader that helped constantly remind us of what kindness and hard work is. Without Cam, we would never be regional Champions in football. Literally that big moment for a high school team. These beautiful souls taught me many things but most of all, to live your life to the fullest potential and have no regrets and be a leader.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Currently, I am Actor, Model, and Martial Artist. Mostly everything I do surrounds Martial arts. As I become older, I’ve realized that acting was something I’ve always wanted to do from watching the greats like Bruce Lee, Denzel Washington, Jackie Chan, and Al Pacino. My parents saw some potential in me, so they sent me to a lot of children casting’s in my younger days. One special I did was called “Cartoon Cartoon Friday’s” via Cartoon Network. Studying and training in martial arts pushed me to learn new forms and cultures. Kempo Karate was the original style I learned, then I gradually learned wrestling, boxing, and Muay Thai. What am I most proud of? I would say the ability to step inside the ring and cage and push myself. Also, to attest to those obstacles taking a step back from combat and focus my acting and modeling career was a big decision for myself and one of the more important ones… Besides my look and my multi- cultured outlook on life, the key factors that separate me from the flock are the principles that my father has taught me. To be the hardest worker in room and always be prepared.
