Personal
I started karate when I was 9. I loved to watch kickboxing with my family, and my favorite fighter Andy Hug inspired me to start Karate. I also had a friend who practiced Karate, and he also motivated me to start practicing as well....In 2013 I graduated Japanese school Minato Gakuen attended for 12 years...In 2014 I graduated UC Davis with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Biology...In 2016 I enrolled in Graduate school (University of St. Augustine) to pursue Doctorate degree in Physcial Therapy. Degree expected in 2021....Three things people may not know about me is that I have two great sponsors: Amino Vital and Phiten, I am a student of physical therapy, and my favorite/lucky food is curry.
