Nick Palma

Part of our American Tokusatsu guests Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Michelangelo

At the age of 13, inspired by Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon, Nick and his brother joined a Choi Li Fut school. He combined his skills with Western boxing and grappling. Nick also studied Wing Chun, Tae Kwon Do, Judo and gymnastics. This resulted in two San Fransisco Golden Glove Boxing Awards.

In 1974 the acting bug bit him after watching The Towering Inferno. Nick joined the army in which he excelled as a boxer, and a soldier. After leaving the army, Nick pursued his childhood wish and became an actor and stuntman. Nick is now famous for being the fight double for Michelangelo in Turtles 2, and forming “Turtle Talk” with co-stunt-doubles David Wald and Steven Ho. Nick is extremely skilled with Nunchaku’s. Nick is close friends with actor and martial artist Eric Lee. They worked together in two movies.
