Fighters Biography
Fight preparation?
I train daily with Walter Wendt, my usual session involves, no GI rolling , GI Rolling, stand-up sparring and a conditioning workout. I’m an all-round fighter so I do a lot of BJJ and boxing. I’ve introduced a lot of GI and no GI j Jits, all the basic elements.
When and why did you start training for fighting?
People do not realise how amazing it is to have a fully functioning body, for me fighting tests the limits of the physical and mental, 2 things I love pushing. About 4 years ago, the discipline attracted me , I’m not all about titles it’s a personal thing for me building character and personal development.
What ranks and titles have you held?
NA
Favourite technique:
Hard inside leg kicks and everything about Jits .I enjoy the ground.
What was your job before you started fighting?
Banking
