NoBeltMMA

My passion for business has lead me across the world.  Meeting new people, discovering new places and finding new passions.  But the passion that has not faltered is my love for Martial Arts.

Starting at the age of 12, I was lucky to find a Muay Thai gym in the neighboring city of my small town in BC, Canada.  Being a relatively lanky person, my love for Martial Arts grew as I watched Royce Gracie defeat his much larger opponents at UFC 1, making me quickly search out the closest Mixed Martial Arts gym that I could while I was living in Vancouver BC, Canada.

It wasn’t until I was a bit older when the opportunity arose to travel and live on the island of Antigua and Barbuda in the Caribbean for work, that I discovered that you didn’t have to be in a mecca of martial arts to find some of the most interesting and insightful martial arts instructors.

By vagabonding the world, I have been given an amazing opportunity to participate and learn from some of the most amazing, intelligent, and passionate instructors in a multitude of martial arts styles and to take part in the different cultures first hand that influence them.

But with the opportunity to experience these gyms and instructor comes with the fact that with every new gym, I am given a white belt and start from the bottom of the class, having to earn the respect of my peers and teachers in the short time that I am able to train at the gym.

My mission is simple:  To keep training, discovering the endless martial arts knowledge that lie on the four corners of the earth and share my experiences with everyone wanting to listen.

I am always in flux between moving up and starting over.  My knowledge grows with each gym I travel to and instructor I meet, yet my belt remains the same.

I am a No Belt.
