What style fighting do you train?
I specialize in the sport of ‘MMA’. MMA is linked to a wide variety of fighting styles and techniques, but it’s evolving as a style itself and that’s something I’m working on the most everyday.
When and why did you start training for fighting?
I was 12 when my friend and I was confronted by an older guy. He told us to give him money or he’d hurt us. We gave him money. I signed up to HMC the next day vowing to never feel so small.
What does it mean for you to fight in X-1 World Events?
At one point this was the most prestigious fighting event in Hawaii. Some of the greatest to come out of Hawaii fought in X-1 events. This means a lot because I feel I’m on the right path to greatness
