When and why did you start training for fighting? I've always done martial arts since I was a little kid. I was born into it. Since I was a little boy I remember my dad and I hitting pads in the garage. It was always super fun. Martial arts has always been a part of my life, and when I became old enough to finally compete inside the cage I went for it. I was 17 years old and I remember my mom even had to sign off for me because I was still not of legal age yet.
Training: Wake up and train my first session of the day while fasted. Rest and recover. Second session is an athletics-type workout. Then I teach my classes.
