6 years
HOW MANY HOURS DO YOU SPEND ON THE MAT IN A WEEK?
Each week, I dedicate between 9 to 11 hours on the mat, a commitment for my passion for BJJ and my pursuit of excellence.
WHY DID YOU START?
My journey into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu began in 2018, driven by a curiosity and a desire for a new challenge. The discipline, complexity found within the mats of Quan Wessels Gym have been pivotal in my progression.
IF YOU COULD CHOOSE ONLY ONE SUB TO USE FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
The art of taking the back and securing a submission holds a special place in my heart, with the rear naked choke and bow and arrow choke being my go-to techniques.
IF YOU COULD CHOOSE ONE SUB TO DELETE FOREVER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Wrist locks, would be the one technique I'd happily see vanish.
DO YOU PREFER GI OR NO GI?
Although I hold a profound appreciation for both disciplines, my allegiance leans slightly towards Gi, Driven by the strategic depth and the intricate grips it offers.
IF YOU COULD SPEND A MONTH TRAINING UNDER ANY COACH IN THE WORLD, WHO WOULD IT BE?
Spending a month under Rafa Mendes and Gui Mendes at Art Of Jiu Jitsu would be an incredible learning experience.
WHAT OTHER HOBBIES DO YOU HAVE OUTSIDE OF BJJ?
Outside the Gym, my passion for sports continues. Golf, paddle, and action cricket are my go-to activities.
