Quality

   He fought for forgiveness. His parents never gave them their support for this kind of sport. But he knew that they were only skeptical. His parents put him in Aikido whne he was just 8. They had no clue he wanted to make Mixed Martial Arts his career. Ever since he got into his first gym he got, I guess you could say, "hooked". He always knew he was a warrior. if he wasn't in MMA he would've probably looked at joining the military. He knew that the path he was taking was risky, and dangerous. He knew that there would be haters, and trash talkers, but he didn't care. It gave him more fire to strive to be a better him. He never settled for just "good". He wanted to be the best. He watched every UFC fight there was. He adapted to everything and everyone. He trained in Stockton California, despite all the hardships he wanted to be where he was born.  He wasn't just training in Stockton, he was giving back. His younger brother, jumped headfirst into the challenge. They understand each other, and what they need. But they're actions make them heroes to some, and villians to others. The thing that makes them heroes to others is, him and his brother don't care what people say about them. They know that the people trash talking are the ones who aren't fighting him. They were the bench warming trash talkers. His dad, did not support any of his decisions. He wanted to join the military untill he learned about MMA. He still does. MMA is a way for him to take his anger out, and if he could've enlisted at 15 he would've but until then fighting is his hobby. His plan was to make fighting a career after 8 years of service in the United States Army. He sees everybody else wearing cool outfits, sweaters, and hangs out with the coolest people, but to him, they are posers. They are trying to pose themselves as someone they are not. Chris, he takes his own path. He doesn't let any one define his life.
He wants to start cagefighting at the earliest age. To qualify for cage fighting he has to be sixteen. Even though everyone else in it was 18 and older. he didn't care. The only way to do better was play against the best, even though you will get smeared, it was the only way to learn from your mistakes. Playing against newbies wouldn't help at all. When he's not at the gym, he's training at home. With whatever he could find. He'll go running in the morning at seven everday when he isn't at school, when he does have school he'll run at 5 in the morning just to make sure he's getting fit. He asks for advice, but not from his friends, not even his family, because he knows they will try and talk him out of cagefighting. He prays to god for advice, to show him the direction and the rhythm of fighting. Everyone he looks at, even at his best friends from kindergarten tell him he won't last one fight nor one round. He was always the underdog, and he still is. He knows the consequences, physically and mentally, but he did it because he feels he is accepted. It was the only place he had real friends. During his first spar, with full head gear on, he won, using all the combos, kicks, and elbows he learned during training. He excelled in Muay Thai very well. He sparred against two of the biggest guys there, even though the guys were great wrestlers, he found a rhythm, he would find their weakness and attack them there, wrestlers, he knew were not good fighters, they could pin you down very well, so he tried his best to keep a distance and do head kicks. Once he excelled at Muay Thai he signed up for Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, he found out then that BJJ was very useful in MMA. He did combos he learned from both gyms. Throwing a jab, hook, elbow and going for the legs, bringing the opponent down and finish with a submission. He learned reversals in Jiu Jitsu. Such as the Omaplata sweep, he found that was the most usefull too, and the guillotine reverse. All three of his instructors suggested him to do Cagefighting as soon as he could, but his main coach, his family, didn't want him too, they were too scared of the consequences and injuries. Even though he has another year of training until he is qualified to cagefight, his family suggested him to wait until he is eighteen. He didn't want to wait till then, now he's made a promise to himself, to train himself two times harder, train at his weaknesses. If he was ready his personal trainer, Dan Bax, will get a management team running and he would be qualified to fight.
