How do you fu?

Michelle Spencer is among 30 contestants in "Final Fu," a reality TV series that begins airing Monday on MTV and MTV2.

Even at age 4, she knew she would never be the girl with blush on her cheeks and bows in her hair, twisting and twirling for the judges.

"I was kind of in gymnastics, and a girl on floor routine flicked her wrist down to be cute, and I thought, 'Oh God, this is too girly for me.' "I was loud. I liked yelling."

Which came in handy when Spencer joined her brother's class in tae kwon do, the Korean martial art similar to karate. Martial arts proved a perfect fit, and over the years, the 20-year-old Sparks resident added muay Thai kickboxing and Brazilian jiu jitsu to her training.
