After years of watching my brother doing traditional martial arts, he helped instill a deep respect for all martial arts in me. When I started getting fat and unfit, he urged me to start and I began my journey inBrazilian Jiu Jitsu. It wasn’t long before I started MMA to gain an understanding of how the practical applications of BJJ worked in a fight. I lost the fight but it’s what helped truly ignited the passion for MMA in me. The brotherhood and camaraderie of everyone in the MMA community are very unique and incredibly special. Together with the challenge of the Martial Arts, MMA has given me a way to interact with the world and to develop myself further to be a better fighter and person.
