Martial Arts, Gym, Camping, Drumming
I actively maintain my physical fitness by training in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) three times a week. I hold a 2nd-degree black belt in Taekwondo and have three years of boxing experience. I have competed in Taekwondo and BJJ and complement my training with regular gym sessions. I run every Sunday to ensure fitness for my role as a reservist in the Royal Australian Army. Outside of fitness, I have a passion for music and have been playing the drum kit since fifth grade. Additionally, I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially camping and fishing with friends and family, and have recently invested in a 4WD for outdoor adventures.
