A bit about me:

I’ve been training different types of martial arts through pretty much all my life. I’ve always been around it and always had a love for it just learning more and more every day.

Most memorable martial arts moment:

My first knockout win as an amateur winning my first title in MMA.

What I love about working at Excel:

I love watching the students grow as martial artists and how their skills develop and even just using a skill which I might have shown them that day brings joy to us as teachers.

My advice for anyone starting on their Excel journey:

It will be the best thing you will do for your body and mind. There will be days eventually when you lose motivation but these are temporary and just dragging yourself to training will make you feel so much better and grateful that you did it.

My Martial Arts goal:

To get into the UFC and try to compete in the highest level in grappling (BJJ) too.

My favourite quote:

“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” – Bruce Lee
