Why I Like Fighting

Not street or cat fighting. I am talking about the REAL DEAL: trained skilled athletes that express their "art" in a cage or ring and afterwards, even with broken noses and bloody eyes, hug each other in the name of the sport.

Trevor introduced me to the world of "fighting" and Mixed Martial Arts when we started dating. How couldn't he, being a fighter himself? It's in his personality, it's such a huge part of who he is. Let me (brag and) share with you why I feel SO protected just by knowing my hubby:

K-1 Fighting
Karate, Tae-Kwon-Do and Kick Boxing -> Full Contact Matches
6 wins, 0 losses

2 wins by tecnical knockout, 4 by decision

Boxing
4 wins, 2 losses

1 win by decision, 3 others by knockout

both losses by decision only, which means he fought all rounds without being knocked out and the loss was based on points

Grappling
Submission Wrestling, Jiu Jitsu
2 silver medals, 1 bronze medal

Tournament wins are by submission only, meaning no points counted, you win by making oponent tap out, or say "uncle"

MMA
Mixed Martial Arts, aka Ultimate Fighting
3 wins, 0 losses

1 by tecnical knockout, 2 by submission

Capoeira
Brazilian Martial Art
There are no official competitions in Capoeira, but Trevor has been a practitioner for about 6 years and attributes his success to a lot of the skills acquired in Capoeira - flexibility, balance, agility, etc.
And because bragging is best when there is PROOF, here are some cool pictures of Trevor in action.

PS- as for me, to defend myself when he's not around, why did you think I got a concealed firearms permit?! Hah!
