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 Korean Hulk vs Some Very Fierce Females

Fighting in the home corner tonight for yet another action-packed Sparring Day Friday is none other that the Korean Hulk himself, Snickers.

Tonight's line up of fierce females included the following:
Stepping into the ring for her third week straight, it's the steady and strong Lady Jin.  She may not be fast on her feet like others but she definitely makes up for the speed with the strength in her punches. 
Patience is her virtue and she's always ready and waiting for that good solid punch.
After several months of training hard here at Hulk's, Lady Hye is very technical in the ring and all her punches are true to good form and very calculated.  Don't be deceived though, she doesn't go for the usual 1-2 like most other fighters.  Instead, she'll be the one catching you off guard with a very precise right hand jab.
Coming from another club, Lady Na is a very recent addition to the Hulk's Boxing line-up of fierce ladies.  And despite having only trained at Hulk's now for one week, she's ready and eager to fight.  Her previous training is still somewhat of a mystery so she's a sneaky one in the ring, pulling out combos that are above the beginner level.
Last but definitely not least, there is Lady Da.
With her short stature and cute girly looks, this 20 year old is stepping into the ring for her third week.
Best known for her wild jabs and body-propelling hooks, Lady Da is as interesting to take on in the ring as she is to watch from ringside.  You just never know what you'll get from a fight with her.
Watch for her in the last round, especially when the last thirty seconds are called.  It's then when she's notoriously known for pulling out some feisty moves.  Whether it's distracting her opponent by tossing off a shoe or body checking her opponent into the corner, this wild fighter is eager to win.
