krav

Having grown up in a fairly ghetto part of Chicago and being a 6′3, 245 lb black guy, I always feel like I have the “intimidation factor” in a fight. I honestly and truly believed that, until I got my ass kicked today by a 5′6, 150 lb little white Israeli guy.

In this part of my schooling at Anapolis we are learning different kinds of fighting techniques and styles, and I already have a strong history in Tae Kwon Do and Karate.
