  • WHY DO YOU COMPETE/TRAIN WUSHU :
 I train because i want to become a better fighter but most importantly a better person. I was told about a tournament in Edmonton early this year haven't trained in over a year i ran everyday a week before and went with Black Dragon Martial Arts to help out with the kids and compete in Kickboxing.  I was told about sanshou its like kickboxing but with take downs i never heard of this before but was intrigued, it was something new so i signed up.  Had my first fight against a boxer/wrestler and second against a pro mma fighter.  needless to say my eyes were opened and i was hooked since then wanting to improve and become more well rounded and take my training alot more serious.
What are your future goals in Wushu and in life?

Become a top contender in MMA, Sanshou, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Karate
