Dancing Fighter Seeks Entertainment Always

About Me

I am an active energetic individual who can only be described as unique. Physically, I am 6'0" 165lbs with dark brown hair and eyes. Very fit in that I train 7 days a week. Mentally, I love a challenge. Books with a twist, people games, mysteries, or anything else that is diverting for a while. I am always wondering what is over that next hill or behind that tree over there. I take pride in the fact that I am a full contact fighter (videos in my videos section! =) ), a break dancer, and an instructor.
I own my own academy and teach capoeira, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Vale Tudo. It is located at 808 Buffalo St, Suite B, in Johnson City Tennessee. We are a tight knit family, and even though we may not seem super serious all of them time, we all train very hard.
Now having read the above one would probably assume that I am an overly violent person drowning in the depths of testosterone flowing from every pore. On the contrary, I am actually shy, quiet, and rather non-confrontational. At times I can be somewhat bookish and just a bit of a dork... But hey, At least I am honest.
My students tell me that I look like Harry Potter when my hair is not cut short for a fight (Which I tend to agree with) And Rich Franklin (former UFC middle-weight champion) or Jim Carrey when it is a bit shorter.

My Interests

Capoeira, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Vale Tudo, Breakdance, Books, Music, Games, All Kinds of Mobile Active Stuff. I play Berimbau ( A single stringed musical insturment often lumped in the "tribal" category.) And I am slowly learning rythems for hand drumming.. but I tend to get excited and speed up when I should not.

I'd like to meet:

New training partners, friends to club with, cool people in general, and anyone else interesting.

Music:

Capoeira Music, Hip-Hop, Jungle, Drum N Bass, Hard House, Various other Electronica, Actually About Anything. I find that I really enjoy music. Oh yeah and REGGATON!

Movies:

Boondock Saints, Madagascar, Brotherhood of the Wolf, 13th Warrior. Lots of Others

Television:

CSI, National Geographic Channel, Discovery Channel.

Books:

Good Omens, Harry Potter, LOTR (really any of Tolkien's Work) C.S. Lewi,s Anything by James Rollins, Anything by Matt Reilly. Really anything with text and a good plot =P

Heroes:

Again Lots. Some stand out though. My Teamates on Tuco O Tapa, Team Oxendine, and Team Moab for being warriors in a world where we are fast becoming extinct. My Grandfather for teaching me what it is to be a self-made man. My Mother for instilling in me a drive to survive and succeed no matter what obstacles may present themselves. My Father for being the biggest supporter I could ever hope for.

Thank You

Stephanie has been interviewing my grandfather for an article as of late and it has left me thinking about the people who have made me what I am today. These are my thanks to them. If I have forgotten...
