How did I get into Fighting?
Joining a fight gym was actually a celebratory present to myself! I’d just gotten a new job and that was my treat to myself (Treat Yo Self!). I’ve been interested in martial arts forever. I’ve always wanted to have the ability to kill someone with my pinky finger. (Sidebar: I’ve now come to understand that this is basically impossible, but I digress).
Why did I stay?
As every fighter knows, once it's in your blood, it's in your blood. And it's definitely in my blood. I love every aspect of fighting, and mostly, I love the consistent pushing of my limits I experience. Everytime I think I've found my limit, I somehow find the strength and determination to push past it a little bit more.
