“The joy of being is worth the pain of becoming.”
27 Years on the Mat — And Still Going

There’s a profound difference between giving up and recognizing when you’ve reached a turning point.
This journey began 27 years ago — filled with sweat, discipline, setbacks, and triumphs. And through it all, the mat has always been a place of truth and growth.

I’m not ready to give up. Not now. Not yet.

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this incredible journey so far. Your support, training, and belief have meant everything.
The path continues, and I look forward to what lies ahead.

See you soon on the mat.
