What is your sports background?

I started Taekwondo from a young age (five years old) in Suriname, where I competed in more than 100 competitions, with the highlight being the Youth Olympics in 2014. I then moved to the Netherlands, where my interest in kickboxing began. I gave Badr Hari private lessons in preparation for a competition in 2018. I also won a few kickboxing competitions myself. In addition, I won Best Fighter of the Night in 2018 at the Gala of the well-known Peter Aerts.

Besides a great time, I always make sure you learn something new. Within, but often also outside your comfort zone.
