Bio
I first got into training at 16 years old in 2020. I took Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu seriously as a competitor, and a student. competing every other weekend, I was awarded my blue belt 1.5 years later. I got into training because I was an overweight teenager at 245 pounds and 6'0 tall. I felt very unmotivated at the regular gym, so I needed something to help me achieve my goal. Training martial arts turned out to be just that. The community was just more accepting, humble and friendly that I could have imagined. The Muay Thai and kickboxing fights didn't start until 3 or 4 years into my journey. I was at a gym where the coaches didn't exactly put any type of effort or thought into me. It made me lose interest in doing striking....until I met Michael Campanella. He helped me achieve not only my weight loss goals, but also showed me the potential I had. He made me realize that I could fight, the belief in my abilities for success, and to be a champion one day.
