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.

The dynamic duo, my two twin nephews, came to  visit Hulk's today.
My sister-in-law told me that they're the "cool kids" in class.  Not only do they have a foreign aunt that speaks English and Korean to them but now their uncle and aunt run a boxing club.
We may have scored major cool points today but my sister-in-law was minus points today when she dropped them off and then forgot what time we closed.  Ended up taking them out for dinner and then returning to the club.  We didn't return just because of the twins but I'm not very kid-friendly so an hour or two is all I can take of mini-Koreans.  I love my nephews but I also love being child-free.
Soon they'll be training at Hulk's... very cool!
They're only 7 years old but already they know how to do padwork with each other and are you surprised, really?!  They're related to Korea's former Super Light Champ and he's their hero.
