I started my martial arts journey in 2009 at the age of 15. I was always interested in martial arts and sports in general when I was growing up, but I was overweight as a kid and had very little confidence. I experienced a lot of abuse in my upbringing and was surrounded by alcoholism and poverty. So as a kid, I had a lot of resentment and anger that I didn’t have an outlet for. One of my friends started training Jiu-Jitsu and told me that it was great for learning self-defense and losing weight so I thought I’d give it a try. During my first class, I was exhausted and got tapped out many times but I was fascinated by the sport and was instantly hooked. Training martial arts completely changed my life. It helped me to lose a significant amount of weight while building my confidence, reducing my anxiety and enhancing my self-esteem. These are benefits that martial arts can offer to anyone who is willing to put in the effort and time.
Martial arts has given my life meaning and purpose. It has been an avenue to forge and better myself. I began teaching in 2012 and have been a full-time instructor since then. I started competing in local tournaments and went on to compete at international levels. Some of these tournaments include the IBJJF World Championships and IBJJF PAN-American Championships. As my love for martial arts progressed, I decided to start competing in MMA. I have had five amateur MMA fights and rather than focusing on going pro, I discovered that my real passion lied in coaching and helping others. Training Muay Thai in Thailand had always been a dream of mine and in 2018, I had the opportunity to fulfill that dream. I traveled around the country seeking out sessions with some of the best trainers that Thailand has to offer.
My favourite part of instructing is getting to share something that I am so passionate about with others. I have witnessed it transform people’s lives and I am honored to have been a part of their journey. Martial arts is a powerful tool that can push you mentally, emotionally and physically. The best part of training is that you learn practical skills like self-defense while blowing-off steam and strengthening yourself. Whether you are a full-time athlete or just beginning your training, you will experience significant growth in many ways.

From the young age of 8, I embarked on a journey that would shape my life and passion. With a heart dedicated to the art of Jiu-Jitsu, I embraced the discipline and resilience it instilled in me. Now at 22, I stand as a living testament to the power of dedication and hard work.
I have been instructing kids part time for the past 7 years and started as a full time instructor in 2021. I have shared my profound knowledge and love for Jiu-Jitsu with young minds, inspiring them to embrace the art's principles of discipline, respect, and perseverance. My ability to connect with children and share with them a love for learning that goes beyond the mats, shaping the character and confidence of future generations.
With 2 provincial titles and 1 regional title proudly under my name at the esteemed brown belt level, I showcase my mastery and commitment to growth. As true warrior of the sport I competed at the world championship stage 4 times, a testament to my drive and passion for challenging the best on a global platform.
With an unwavering commitment to this craft, I have honed in skills over the years, mastering the intricacies of Jiu-Jitsu both on and off the mat. My journey has been fuelled by a desire to share my expertise and the life-changing benefits of Jiu-Jitsu with others.
