Why I do what I do:
From as early as I can remember I have always wanted to help people. My personal goal when I started Dohjo Muay Thai & Fitness was to create Champions in the ring as well as in all aspects of life. This goal is still alive today. I wanted to provide a non-judgemental positive environment where people could work towards self-mastery and be guided by leadership and a positive team network. The sport of Muay Thai has done wonders for my life and I now would like to inspire, give back and pass on the teachings and traditions of Muay Thai that have shaped who I am today.
