Introduction

My dad taught me 3 things:

1. Always stand up for what you believe in.

2. Protect others who can’t protect themselves.

3. Don’t be a bully.

2-3 ain’t bad right? He should have told me that when your there for someone who can’t defend themselves, you’re often Tim find yourself can’t defend themselves you might be marked a bully. Hypocritical logic.

I’ve always been a very active person from a young age when I took dance. Then, in high school I took on the role of head cheerleader which coincidentally is how I got into my first fight.

My Catfight:
So, during a competition down in Cali this girl stepped up to one of my squad members. Mouthy little Latina girl, naturally I couldn’t stand for it so, hair was pulled, punches thrown and we were both put under suspension from our respective teams. What did I learn? Don’t handle your business in the open.

After High school at 19 I decided I needed a change, to find myself first a trip abroad for a chance to photograph for National Geographic but when I returned…. that’s what found me in a local wrestling ring. My dad and I would watch together all the time but, being there, putting my experience to the test, stretching my body to its limits as well as my mind, there’s nothing like it. A physical stage play performance.

Unfortunately, it was short lived, thanks virus. The doors were shut and it was my responsibility to find a different way of adulting. However, that also led to me letting myself go a bit. It wasn’t all at once or even either, first I lost the muscle mass that I built. I’m sure you can guess what came next.

That’s when a friend of mine introduced me to backyard boxing on the weekends. I don’t know why giving a few well placed wallops is so satisfying but it really is…

I boxed for training before but nothing like this.. rules were lax so, sometimes we would go a bit overboard.. oh well!

That’s also when I revisited my catfight days but now a bit more… personal apartments are great aren’t they?

So what can I say? Step up? Let’s see what y’all got!
