Since I was a child I like to learn martial arts, I remember when I am in grade school my father had a martial artist friend and he wanted to teach me martial arts every Sunday. But, my mother does not agree because I always got sick and always got sprain. So, in that case I didn't learn martial arts that time. When I was in second year high school my classmate gave me a waiver of application form for Karate and he said that he was recruiting a students to learn martial arts and for those who are interested to learn just filled out the waiver. After that I gave task to my parents if they allow me to learn martial arts and then they signed the waiver. I am so glad that they support me to learn martial arts, and I started to practice with my classmates. I have learned stretching, blocking, punching, kicking, katas (forms) and techniques. But, I stopped because my aunt did not agree she said it affects to my studies and my parents cannot support my financial for it. When I was in fourth year in physical education subject we have a lesson in Arnis (Filipino martial arts) I have learned the basic the twelve strikes or the sinawali but I am not satisfied for the lesson because I can't learn more. Until I graduated in high school I did not continue to learn martial arts.

But I didn't stop to find a school of martial arts, because it's my passion when I worked in a Manila in 2002 a capital of the Philippines it's far from our province in Albay. I found martial arts gym, but I can't afford to pay for the registration and the monthly fees, so I started a self practice. I remember my martial arts training in high school even it was not good enough I practiced it repeatedly to be more effective and I always watched a martial arts movies that time and I bought cds and collected the movies of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme. I tried to imitate their style and practiced it continuously until I came back to my province.

In 2004, I came back to my province I have enrolled in college to continue my studies. When I was in second Year College it was 2007, I didn't expect to meet a martial arts instructor, but I always think twice if I'm going to enroll in his martial arts mixed of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino martial arts, until I have decided to go to his gym and I payed for every session. I was impressed for the technique and style they taught the right footwork, basic and fundamentals for punching, blocking and kicking and different forms and sometimes we are invited to attend a seminar for Jujitsu organized by Kuntaw it is also Filipino martial arts. In three years of practicing in that gym I have learned a lot and it helped to be more disciplined and got more flexible and I joined in a tournament even I did not win but I have experienced a lot. Until I graduated and found a work I always practiced the style the techniques and forms to develop the speed, power and accuracy (according to Bruce Lee).
