When and why did you start training for fighting?
My first kickboxing fight was in 1999 and wanted to focus on something positive and didn’t want to get bullied and wanted to learn to defend myself. I’ve got bullied when I was younger and wasn’t confident to stand up to them. So after awhile I decided to learn martial arts “Kajukenbo”. Then once I entered my first point sparring tournament I was hooked, because I won first place with 16 advanced color belts in the division in 1999.
