Little ninja Jesse Jane McParland: 'Not every girl dreams of being princess'

After trying ballet and Irish dancing three-year-old girl told her mother, 'Not every girl dreams of being a little princess’.

That's sword-wielding Jesse-Jane McParland who terrified Britain's Got Talent viewers and judges with sword skills and raw aggression.

Most girls of her age would be playing doll house games with their friends or practising things they have learnt in school.

But not nine-year-old Jesse Jane, who prefers playing with swords.

Despite her young age, Miss McParland is already a world champion kick boxer, with an astonishing 117 martial arts titles under her belt.

Not only did the karate princess impress Britain's Got Talent judges, it looks like she has also been making an impression on some big of the big names in Hollywood.

Jesse Jane is working with Zac Efron’s ‘Awakening’, after wowing kickboxing legend Don 'The Dragon' Wilson in her first movie, 'The Martial Arts Kid’.

The nine-year-old is a soft spoken, awww inducing 'dinky little thing’.

But there was nothing sweet when she is performing on stage showcashing armless cartwheels, back flips and her incredible talents with sword.

Miss McParland has been practicing martial arts since the age of three, after deciding she wasn’t interested in the more traditional pastimes her mother wanted her to try such as ballet.

Last year she added sword work to her list of skills including kickboxing, kung fu and Tae Kwon Do, with which she has competed and won awards all over the world.

She trains with her coach Sensei Gary Kelly in Ireland four times a week, as well as master Jeff Scott in the UK.

And Miss McParland, who is the World Association of Kick Boxing junior world champion, is now hopeful for an Olympic career.
