But he changed his mind about pursuing a career in the military after he was involved in a high school drama play. The play gave him a spark and passion for acting. He didn’t realize how much fun acting could be until he was in the play. The craft pulled him in and he never looked back. He started acting across many local theaters in Florida. He later moved from Florida to Las Vegas and then he moved from Las Vegas to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career. His career reached a peak when he was given his own show, <em>The Wayne Brady Show</em>.</p>

<h2>Career</h2>

<p>Mandie Taketa never worked in high profile jobs but she once described how she became the gym rat that she is now today, “I have always been a competitor. I’ve been doing martial arts since the age of 5. March will make 30 years of martial arts experience. My father was my Sensei. I was a serious competitor and referee for about 15 years. I’ve also competed as a dancer, as a national gold medalist "flyer" in acrobatics, cheerleading, and paintball. I'm a certified yoga instructor and physical therapist. I guess I’ve always been really active.”</p>

<p>Since she has been doing so well with her fitness, she was asked if it always came easy to her and if it was just second nature, “Honesty, the weight-training thing is not something I picked up easily at all. It’s learning another art form. It’s still not easy for me. The hardest part is getting up and going to the gym. Life as a parent and artist keeps me pretty busy and tired as it is. Sleeping in my spare time always seems so inviting. I don't think I noticed major results for about six months. “</p>

<p>By the time she got into her grove and felt comfortable with her ability, she was already competing on the national level. Through trial and error, she learned that dieting played a huge part in achieving change for her routine and body. For the very first time in her life, she had to eat more and consume more calories. Having to eat more made her really happy. She no longer had to count her calories when she chose what to eat for her meals. She could eat without having to worry about overdoing it.</p>
