Besides Martial Arts training, what
are your other hobbies or interests?
Usually I'm on the computer or
doing weights, or running to keep
me in shape.
What motivated you to start taking
Martial Arts?
Actually I really didn't want to start
at first. My parents wanted to put
me in it for self-discipline reasons.
What motivated me after that is that I realized my potential and how good I
could become with hard work.
How has the Martial Arts changed
your life?
I'm a better kid overall, like in school, out of school, at home, it has taught me
a lot of discipline and to respect everyone I come by.
How long have you been involved
in the Martial Arts?
Six years.
What is your favorite part of the Martial Arts?
Just mainly coming in and seeing my friends and stuff but besides that, I love
getting pushed to always try harder.
What people in your life have influenced you the most?
First of all, I gotta give my parnets mots of the credit. They have paid so
much to keep me in Karate & stuff. And next my instructor, Mr. Osborn.
Are you excited to have your bio featured on the competitor page on
mmasc.net? Ha, yeah - I need to get some fans. :p
Are there any accomplishments in Martial Arts or in your life you would like to
mention?
Well when I was younger me and some other students went up to St. Louis
and did an America Team trials and I had one very hard division but
overcame the nerves and made it through. And another would be testing for
my black belt. That probably was the hardest thing ever! I nearly died
afterwards, matter of fact I think I did there for a few seconds...
