It’s OK to get butterfly in your stomach; the key is to learn how to make them fly in formation.

My mentality is that when I go to sleep at night, I'm a better martial artist than when I woke up in the morning.

To fight a bigger guy you need to train with bigger guys and it takes a lot more on your body. And it's not your weight class.

I used my Karate footwork to control the distance, and I use is as a penetration drill that I do, this is my speciality, the way I penetrate on people, the explosiveness and the timing. It all started with Kyokoshin and Sports Karate.

Train smart at all times and do your best to avoid injury. Training smart is more important than training hard.

Always pursue your dreams and work hard at it.

It's not always the best team that wins the game it's the team that plays better.
