Biography
I am a first degree Black belt in Shotokan. I also have ranks in Judo, jiu-jitsu and Sambo. I am also a Mixed Martial Arts Cage Fighter. I work as a wellness instructor at YMCA. I started training in 2008. My dad is the one that got me into the Martial Arts. I first started out in body building. I was into Martial Arts movies and always wanted to do it. My dad came home one day and handed me a flyer for karate. Long story short I went and fell in love! Been doing it ever since. Then I got into MMA after watching the UFC. It got me into great shape! I’m loving martial arts. My hobbies include training, collecting comic books & being with family & friends. The most important part of Martial Arts is the physical and mental part of martial arts. My favorite quote is, “I’ve always been buffeted by circumstances because I thought of myself as a human being affected by outside conditioning. Now I realize that I am the power that commands the feeling of my mind and form which circumstances grow.” – Bruce Lee
