In year 2000 I started my karate life by practicing Jeet Kune Do and then Shotokan karate. In my journey through the intricate tapestry of martial arts, Karate orchestrated a pivotal role, weaving discipline and resilience into the very fabric of my being. Each kata a symphony of movement, every strike a meticulously penned stanza in the poetry of combat. With perseverance as my stalwart companion, I navigated the labyrinthine techniques, honing my craft with unwavering dedication.

Through the crucible of rigorous training, I sculpted my spirit into a tempered blade, poised and ready to cut through the adversities that dared stand in my path. The dojo, an altar of self-improvement, bore witness to the metamorphosis of a novice into a seasoned practitioner, a journey that transcended mere physical prowess to encompass a profound transformation of mind, body, and spirit.

However, a life changing event in high school led him to resume his martial arts journey under the guidance of Soshi Ito Ryuji.
