When and why did you start training for fighting? At the age of 14. I’ve always been fighting on the streets and stuff and I always wanted to get into it, but my parents never had the financial means to put me in a martial arts school. So I saw my brother on the wrestling team, and it was basically for free in high school, so I decided to join him. I wanted to find an outlet.
