I started some wrestling when I was around 8 years old , just for a year , and won my weight class competition. Later at around 13 I took some karate for a year. When on to b a bodybuilder after that for about 9 years. Moved to US at 23 years old. Always been fascinated by strength, so I always try to keep my self , ok strength . When I was a kid, my dad had a book about jiu jutsu , and started hearing more about it 2004. I looked into it more, and somebody invited me down to Bob, s place, I was 250 pound solid muscle, but I was aware of I did not know much about fighting, so I tried out , and kind of got beaten up by small weak humansπ, witch pissed me off in a way, cause I got all this strength, but canβt win, but same time got me more interested and wanted to learn , instead of running away, so I stayed , dropped 50 pound of muscle and quickly got better, cause I hate to lose. Enjoyed it a lot, and met very nice , and humble great fighters at Bob, s academy,
