WHAT BELT ARE YOU?
Purple

WHAT PREMIER BJJ ACADEMY DO YOU TRAIN AT?
Premier BJJ Harrow - Began my Journey with Premier. Home grown !

WHAT YEAR DID YOU START JIU JITSU?
Started BJJ in the Gi September 2016 but did do a bit of nogi prior to that. 2016 was when I got hooked.

WHY DID YOU START JIU JITSU?
Don’t know really, I always enjoyed martial arts and had dabbled at various things. Was doing kickboxing and MMA at Premier and decided to by a Gi and give it a go. Now I don’t do anything else.

GI OR NO GI?
Gi

FAVOURITE SUBMISSION & WHY?
I like chokes and especially chokes with a lot of control. Brabo, paper/bread cutter and clock chokes are my go to. You can feel their lives ebbing away with these chokes hahaha

FAVOURITE GUARD?
I’m an open guard player for the most part. But I’m still trying to work this out myself tbh.

PROUDEST JIU JITSU MOMENT?
I’m proud of my gold medals and really proud to have been given my Blue Belt by the godfather - Mauricio Gomes

WHAT HAS PREMIER BJJ TOUGHT YOU OUTSIDE THE DOJO?
too much to mention. I live a much healthier lifestyle in general and I no longer EVER judge a book by its cover. Those are two key changes. And I could talk all day about friends and relationships I have gained. It’s truly amazing.

TELL US SOMETHING PEOPLE AT PREMIER MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU?
I don’t think there is much that people at the gym don’t know - I’m gobby, chatty and I’ve told them everything. I like Jiu jitsu, most sports and beer. The simple life
