I started with martial arts by ordering the Joe Weider self defense course when I was about 10, practicing Savate and boxing with my oldest brother on the front lawn of the farm we grew up in. Catching him with a mule kick still sticks in my mind. That started my path of functional training, exploring pretty much everything I could find that looked odd yet produced results, and that also led me here. It's not the end, it's the journey. Movement is life.
