Since I was a kid I’ve been interested in martial arts studying different styles such as kung fu,
boxing as well and Muay Thai. At the age of 12, I started my Muay Thai journey learning the art
of Muay Thai at McMahon training center. While all my other martial arts experiences have been
amazing, Muay Thai has been the one I’ve fallen in love with. For the past 8+ years, I’ve been
learning more and more every day. I joined the BTT family earlier this year and have made it my
focus to improve myself as well as my students in boxing/Muay Thai. Come join me on Mondays
and Wednesdays at BTT Evergreen.
