“I have always been passionate about martial arts. When I was 5 years old, I begged my dad to make me a punching bag. It wasn’t until I was 16 years old that I pursued organized training and I’ve been involved with the sport ever since. Muay Thai has turned training partners into lifelong friends, built up my confidence from a young age and toughened me up mentally and physically. That is the experience I hope to bring to the members of all ages at Original 8.”
