CURRENT RANKS
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – Purple Belt & Muay Thai – Brown Singlet
WHAT STYLES DO YOU DO?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE FROM THESE STYLES/MARTIAL ARTS?I hope to continue to learn new things and contribute to the community for as long as possible. I also look forward to teaching my niece when she is old enough to train. I would also like to represent my state or country in competition one day.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF?
I would describe myself as a simple and laid-back person. I appreciate fine details and nuance and take great interest in how and why things work. Outside of training, I really enjoy gardening, cooking, and eating.
ROLE MODEL/WHO ARE MY INSPIRATION?
My biggest inspiration is my grandad, but I also look up to various fighters like Zabit Magomedsharipov and Muslim Salikhov.
ANY ADVICE TO NEW STUDENTS OR ANYONE INTERESTED IN JOINING?
My advice would be to just give it a go. You never know what could come of it. When I started training as a confused 15 year old I certainly never anticipated that I would get this far, much less that I would meet an incredible group of supportive people who accept me for who I am and push me to improve.
