Hey! For your information, this is me. I was born and raised in Nashville, TN. Notably, I have been training Muay Thai kickboxing for four years at the local gym. I do have a Taekwondo background for which I had trained for about five years. The transition to kickboxing was a little awkward, mainly because I had not trained or, to be frank, exercised consistently. Nonetheless, I enjoyed being in class, learning to defend and strike effectively. Slowly, the stiffness in my body dissipated. Though, at my age, I realized different aches and pains were associated with certain stressful movements. This was discouraging, but working through my mobility and then strengthening the the appropriate ranges of motion has given me a new form of fluidity to move, block, kick, and punch. This is still a work in progress, and my goal, now, in kickboxing is to be able to move freely whether that is going forwards, backwards, side-to-side, in circles, or in any dynamic motion. Thanks for checking me out.
