Q6. How did you manage to become a KI fighter?

I have been training martial arts since I was 6. I started to compete at a high level in Grappling and kickboxing about 8 years ago. Since then I have just been fighting and looking for the right opportunities.

 

Q7. Is it a big challenge for you to be a KI fighter? Tell me about it.

The hardest part of a fight is the training. I usually train for 12 weeks before a fight. During this time I dont drink or go out much, so it is hard on my friends and family, and lonely for me.....plus training every day is very tiring.

People here like to touch me and hug me for some reason.....I need a bodyguard.

I want to become a champion at everything I do.

Rinki o hen

I'm at the gym at Big Step a lot or at the dojo. In the evening I like to chill at places like Coven Garden or LL bar.

 

Q12. Message to WhyNot!? users!

If you try, you will never fail......but you'll never succeed either.
