I’ve built my entire life around Martial Arts and Fighting.
It saved me from jail. It saved me from the path my childhood best friend took... he’s serving life for murdering two people.
I grew up in rough crowds, which is exactly why I still don’t back down from what I believe in. That fire gave birth to my life motto: “Live Your Legend.”
It’s tattooed on my body so I see it every single morning and night.
My tribe all came from turmoil… friends murdered, brothers lost to dark paths…but the real ones hustled hard and rose up. Some of us are born to follow. Some are born to lead. And some of us are just built to live without ever asking for permission.
I’m forever grateful for my circle. The thought of kissing ass, shrinking my dreams because of small minded people’s opinions, or playing it safe… that’s terrifying to me.
Life is short!! We’re all gonna die.!!!
What the hell are you waiting for? It’s saddens me to see so many worried about what others think, so they stay small. 
You don’t need anyone’s permission to go after what you want. This life is about experience, not possessions. When we’re gone, the money, the cars, the status… it all disappears. Your body turns to ash and rejoins the planet. That’s it! Period. End of game. 
So stop waiting. Hammer out every dream you have.
If your current crew isn’t pushing you to level up and celebrating your wins, leave them. Real friends want to see you win. They’ll ride for you, and you’ll ride for them.
.
Not many people know the depth of training I’ve put in my whole life. Here’s just a glimpse of the journey. hard to sum it up in only 20 photos. 
If you understand the old school fight game, you know that we fought cause we had to, we didn’t do it for fame, we did it to survive. A bunch of misfits fighting to find their place in this world. I’m grateful for it all… and I’m not even close to being finished…too many goal and dreams still untouched. Until god takes me home, I’ll be here fighting for anyone who needs a push along their path. If you are ever in a position to help someone, do it! I believe we’re obligated to.
