Rudi began his study in martial arts at the age of 11 in traditional Chinese Kung Fu in Boston, MA. At 13 he traveled to China for extensive training with the Beijing Wushu Team. In 1996, Rudi started training in San Shou under Jason Yee winning the U.S. Amateur National Championships 3 years in a row, and becoming a member of the U.S. National Team 3 times consecutively. In 1998 Rudi relocated to Vancouver B.C. to study internal Chinese Kung Fu and Qigong with renowned Master Liang Shu Yu. But he missed the challenge and excitement that fighting presented and in 1999 moved to San Jose, CA to resume his fighting career training with Cung Le. That year he turned pro and captured the IKF U.S. Middleweight Championship in San Shou. In 2000 he took the ISKA Super Middleweight title, and 2001 the IKF Intercontinental title. In 2002 primed for the World Championship Rudi Ott defeated the unbeaten and 2 time Champion Dave Marinoble to claim the IKF Middleweight World title. Under Cung Le and Jivoni Jordan he has solidified himself as one of the most recognizable and top San Shou fighters in the World.

In 2005 Rudi opened his own school for martial arts, Unlimited MMA Training Center. He has since developed multiple Champions in Muay Thai and MMA. As a teacher Rudi wants to pass on his passion for training as well as help mold his students into positive role models and future champions. Rudi believes martial arts is a dynamic means of personal growth and self- fulfillment that if sustained will lead to a healthy and rewarding life.
