Well done to all involved! (it's always a team effort :)) Are there plans for him to go pro and go onwards and upwards?

Nice. What discipline?
MMA. He started off in Shotokan (2nd degree BB) and then trained Wing Chun, Pekiti-Tirsia Kali, CSW, and now Boxing and Muay Thai. His development has been over the past 13 years and he is now an excellent martial artist and truly is a mixed martial artist.

A team effort indeed Tez. Thanks goes out to everyone who stepped onto the training floor, the mats, and in the ring with him for his development. Of course 'he' put in the time and the many many rounds of training, practice, sparring and the so many miles of road work to get here. Very proud of the whole team but will be short lived for on the 28th he makes his pro debut and his work continues.

Tez as a follow up to this inquiry; had his pro debut last night. Won 2:34 1st round, verbal submission from a barrage of elbow strikes out of side control.

Hey Danny that is great and I look forward to hearing more about your fighter and his pro career!

On another note one of my guy's back in Michigan just won an amature bantamweight title. Then the next weekend fought up a weight and won as well. He is looking to go pro as well after having over 35 plus amature fights.

That's a really good start, well done to him. :) I'm sure he's in good hands and there'll be no rushing.

Thanks Brian.
All the best to your fighter.

Thanks Tez.
Not going to push him and will be selective as to who he fights as he gains experience as a pro. Have seen a lot of fighters with great potential get big fights too soon and get some major set backs on their careers.
