I am a MMA Student at Team Defiant Gym, I couldnt afford the cost for going because I am still in college and finding work that will be willing to work around my schooling and training is hard to find. I attend Delaware County Community College, I couldn't really go a day with out some kind of training being a all round athlete. So I decided to take matters into my own hands with a couple others who wanted to do the sport as well. We decided if we couldnt afford the gym time then we would just have to bring MMA to the college. We are slowly in the process of creating a school club team with the help of BoneBreakerz and TeamDefiant Gym who will be training our team. The road is hard but its earned me the right to train again. I mix train in multiple sports to keep all physical shape. I am a Competitor, a Soldier in the Athlete world, and they can Bring the Rain cause I enjoy the pain.
