Check out Perris aka Kid Rep. Pleasure teaching this Future Threat. So much dedication & heart. Important for this youngster who can do almost a little bit of everything…just because he loves it. Youngsters take notes on Perris.
Wanted to Share my Muay Thai Reel/LXD episode combined. It’s from Season 3 episode: Salvage where I fight Madd Chadd. I play an Evil Cyborg. I choreographed that section with Madd Chadd. I wanted to show this because Muay Thai has been a big inspiration and drive for me with discipline, fitness, and life. It’s helped me stay focused and actually helped elevate my dance. I feel more athletic because of it. ENJOY!
