Ayhan Tongadur (born November 12, 1980) is an American martial artist, stunt performer and actor. Turkish by heritage, he was born and raised, with his two older siblings, in a small town in Karlsruhe, Germany. His love of the arts came to him when he was six, revealing itself in the form of films starring his idol, Bruce Lee. Motivated by his idol, Tongadur wanted to join a dojo, but he was too young to be accepted. His martial arts journey started at age 10 when he joined a school near his home, ITF Tae-Kwon-Do.

Following in the footsteps of his idol, Bruce Lee, Tongadur decided to follow his dreams and journey to America to become a professional stuntman. At the age of 23, he found himself in a foreign land, struggling to support himself as a restaurant employee by day and a nightclub bouncer by night.
