I really wasn’t doing anything at that time. I was feeling kind of lost. I was kind of clinging to the feeling of want. I just wanted to do something. Ntau, I liked to fight and scrap.

I don’t see myself leaving. It’s a great atmosphere over here. I called Jon. I remember being really nervous to call Jon, Kuv twb xav txog qhov no ua ntej lawm, tab sis twb yog nws caw… Txhua leej txhua tus no twb tau tiag tiag caw, really supporting. There’s a really good mix of people here. We have young to old. We have everything in between. It’s a very accepting place to be. It’s a great place to train.
