Isn't there a Jewish female kick boxing champion?

Jill Mathews I think.
Newman is this who you mean? If it is she is a knockout in more ways than one

That's her!

She's of Russian-Jewish background.

Her NY family used to say....." Title-shmitle! When are you gonna get pregnant?"

A lot of incredibly talented hockey players in the NHL are Jewish.

Well, not a lot, MW, but 3 pretty good ones. Matt Schneider's arguably the best Jewish player ever. He's been playing forever now it seems.

Howard Cosell.

Ryan Braun. Reigning NL ROY, Israeli Jewish Father, Gentile Mother, identifies as Jewish (I know it's Deform Judaism).

All Time American Jewish Hockey great, Mathieu Schneider.

Kevin Youkilis, World Series winner, Gold Glover, most games at First Base consecutively without an error in MLB History (I probably just jinxed him).

The great Marv Levy, an all-time personal favorite. Football HOF. Only coach to win four consecutive Conference Championships (okay so the Super Bowl wasn't his thing, LOL).

Yes, I remember Mr. Agoos. I would have got to him eventually, LOL. Also David Beckham's a quarter Jewish, not too shabby, LOL.

Thanks for the link Yehudi. I've been there before. Bet I know em all, LOL, but always keep my eye out for new Jewish athletes and sports figures. Been a hobby of mine for a while. Hope all is well.
