As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).

After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.

Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Beatings Among the Boys... Tuesday, September 20

I've finally adjusted to the heat here in Korea after 7 weeks of being in Canada and leaving Canada when it's temperatures dipped to 8 degrees and left me loading up on sweaters. Mind ya, though I can stand the heat again running in it is another issue.

Today I did a timed run at 1pm, not the smartest of times.

After an afternoon nap, replenshing of liquids and stocking up on veggies and protein in my belly, I was then off to boxing. Snickers had sparring today -- totally envy him for that -- and I knew it'd be a hard sparring session with the Heavy Hitter cause he took a break for a bit from boxing to focus on other training. Lately he's been focusing on upping his leg strength, so biking and mountain hiking/running have been filling up his schedule.

The Heavy Hitter has a fight coming up on Saturday, October 8th and I would definitely not want to be his opponent. The Heavy Hitter has quite the knockout rate and despite him not training like a beast in comparision to Snickers or Black Skinny when they have fights, he packs a mean punch and is freakishly strong.
