Besides a professional boxer, Chris John is also a member of national wushu team (wushu: a Chinese martial arts, similar to kungfu. Learn more about Wushu here), often representing Indonesia in some multi-event games, like South East Asian Games or Asian Games. His best achievements as a wu-shu athlete:
* Gold Medalist, South East Asian Gamesin Jakarta, Indonesia, 1997
* Bronze Medalist, the South East Asian Gamesin Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 2001
* Gold Medalist, Indonesian multi events games (National Olympic), Jakarta, 1996
* Gold Medalist, Indonesian wushu championship
John started learning boxing in his early childhood (six-years-old), and was trained by his father Johan Cahyadi, a former amateur boxer. John is the third Indonesian to win a boxing world title, following Ellyas Pical (3 times IBF Junior Bantamweight Champion, 1985-1989), and Nico Thomas (IBF Strawweight Champion, 1989). Before turning professional in 1997, John was an amateur boxer with a few local bouts since 1995 when he was only 15 years old for a local championship in his hometown of Banjarnegara. He then moved to Semarang, where he was handled by trainer and manager Sutan Rambing -- a well-known trainer in Indonesia and ex-amateur and professional fighter of the 1970s.
Formerly known as the "Indonesian Thin Man" as a tribute to the Nicaraguan lightweight legend, the "Explosive Thin Man"--Alexis Arguello, in February '06 John proclaimed a new nick name "The Dragon" replacing his old nick name "The Indonesian Thin Man", as he said he's no longer thin, besides the dragon is an animal which brings luck in Chinese people's belief (John is an Indonesian of Chinese descent).
John split with Sutan Rambing in early 2005, then joined Harry's Gym in Perth, Australia, where he is currently trained and managed by Craig Christian.
