What's up MySpace! Most of my immediate family and friends know that I've been very passionate about my music career as a conscious hip-hop artist for many years now. As a result, most people referred to me as 2-T.O.N.E. Although I still love to rhyme and perform live, I've come to a realization that the true gift and talent I want to pursue is my Martial Art background.
During the last 2 years, I've become a fan of the UFC, WEC, and PRIDE (although bought out by the UFC) fighting organizations. In turn, I am an Ultimate Fighting Champion (UFC) fanatic!! I follow every fighter in every weight class and examine the movements and techniques that each fighter displays in their fights. It was from this passion...that led me to hear this little voice telling me, "You should be in there fighting these guys!" Therefore, I just turned 29 in October, and now I'm on my training quest to become the strongest, fastest, and technically sound fighter I can possibly become!
I started training in Tae-Kwon-Do at the tender age of 12. I reached the level of 1st Degree Black Belt when I was 16. I'm also a bronze medalist of the 1993 New York State Tae-Kwon-Do Championships for my weight class. In addition, I won the bronze medal during the 1993 Junior Olympic Tae-Kwon-Do Chapionships in Dayton, Ohio. Both of the guys that beat me went on to win the gold medal. Consequently, punching directly in the face isn't allowed in Tae-Kwon-Do...so I guess that hurt me according to "their" point system! lol
After 16 years of age, I left the "formal" setting of training due to various reasons. More importantly, I recently began training in Brazilian Jujitsu, Muy Thai Kickboxing, Judo & Wrestling. I plan to soak up all my training like a sponge so that I can eventually take on some amateur fights here in NYC and showcase my talent to the world! My goal is to get signed to one of the leading MMA organizations...particularly the UFC! In the meantime, it's hard-core training and dedication that will be the defining moment of my future success.
I have a great team behind me! We need to have a hard-core MMA unit from the East Coast--especially from the 5 boroughs! We're going to bring you that thunder and lightening baby!! Stay tuned for updates and PLEASE support us in any way you can!
Peace & God Bless!!!
