His family was involved in the sport. "I always wanted to train in martial arts, and my entire family already did. But back in 2006, there were no ju-jitsu academies and certainly no kids' classes, just a single hall that was rented out to teach adults. The moment a kids' class was introduced, I started and never stopped after that." (jiujitsulegacy, 13 Jan 2022; powerup-mag, 10 Apr 2017)
