MartialArtsTalent.com, the leading resource for martial arts casting and employment jobs, reveals sleek new website with more features and broader services to accommodate the ever-growing demands of martial arts casting and job employment.
New York, NY (PRWEB) September 7, 2006 -- MartialArtsTalent.com, the leading resource for martial arts casting and employment jobs, reveals sleek new website with more features and broader services to accommodate the ever-growing demands of martial arts casting and job employment.

What prompted the change? "It’s been one successful year now and we wanted to revitalize the site and provide our target with more content and a more user-friendly experience," according to site founder S.K. Fentress, "We’ve added search capabilities and multi-media profiles. In this way the talent gets better exposure, the recruiters and casting agents find who they need quicker.”

There are 2.6 million adults actively practicing martial arts in the US. In addition to that, martial arts are featured in 25% of the top 100 domestic grossing movies of all time. With those statistics, it’s easy to see why the need for qualified talent in the form of actors or specialized instructors stays in demand.

Martial Arts Talent has also signed martial artist and actress Lauren Mary Kim to be the "face" of MAT. Kim, seen doing skillful acrobatics and sword stances on the site, has been featured in Black Belt Magazine, in film, and on popular TV programs for ABC, FOX, UPN and USA networks. She can most recently be seen doing stunt work for Fast & Furious 3, and in a national kickboxing ad for Snickers Marathon Bar. "Lauren represents our type of talent," Fentress says. "Multi-faceted and clearly multi-talented."

The new site incorporates a cleaner design with a simpler navigation and is more content-rich than its predecessor. Martial Arts Talent will continue to partner with martial arts organizations and related content providers in order to offer the best resources to talent and recruiters.

One member, Drew Serrano, said it best: "It is a great site and has been long overdue for our industry." With the latest added features, enhanced content and tools, Martial Arts Talent will continue to be an essential industry element.

Martial Arts Talent is the #1 online resource for martial arts casting and jobs. Serious Talent. Serious Resource.
