My during my Taekwondo days, I used to feel like I was always going to be fine.
Like I'd be I was like I felt like.
You know, I was young.
I was 19.
I felt invulnerable.
And I was really good.
And I fought in the nationals in California.
And I hit this kid with a wheel kick and he never got up.
And he was snoring.
Like, face plant, out cold, taken off in a stretcher, taken to the hospital.
And I never felt the same about fighting again.
Because I was always scared that that could happen to me then.
Because I was, like, doing this for nothing.
There was no money whatsoever.
I was doing this for nothing.
I had no health insurance.
I was poor.
Yeah, and I was like, what am I doing?
Yeah, like this is like I could have easily got hit by that same kick Mm-hmm, but I was better than him and I landed but there's guys that are better than me and if they hit me like that Face down snow.
I mean it was my heel hurt for days I was limping the next day my knee hurt after the Frankie fine.
