How did you get into your sport?
"I first got into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu when my family introduced me to it and I started training regularly. I quickly fell in love with the challenge of learning new techniques and testing them in competition. Over time I began cross-training in other disciplines like wrestling, striking and MMA to become a more complete martial artist."
What do you love about your sport?
"I love that there is always something new to learn. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA constantly push you to improve, both physically and mentally. I also enjoy the problem-solving aspect of grappling, the teamwork in the gym, and the friendships you build with teammates who are all helping each other get better."
What is your proudest sporting achievement(s) to date?
"Some of my proudest moments have been winning major competitions and representing my team at a high level. Becoming an IBJJF European Champion and winning national titles are achievements that mean a lot to me, but I’m also proud of the hard work and consistency that goes into preparing for every competition."
Any future goals and aspirations?
"My long-term goal is to compete at the highest level in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. I want to win more major titles, continue developing my skills across multiple disciplines, and eventually compete professionally in MMA. One day I hope to fight in the UFC while also achieving multiple world titles in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu."
