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.

Because No Song Was Ever about a Small Butt... Tuesday, January 20

Today is leg day at Hulk's so I train harder, train a bit longer and train a lot happier.  I love leg day. And after my gruelling training today, that left both myself and the Hulkie who was training with me huffing and puffing and wanting to puke, I jokingly told Snickers to punch my butt.  "Punch my butt but be careful, it just may break your hand!", I told him.  Of course it wouldn't but I had trained my lower body so hard today that it felt like it was in a perma-flex... hahaha.  

I freakin' love, love, L-O-V-E leg day.

Snickers thought I was joking when I told him to punch my butt but when I repetitively said it he then knew I wasn't so he give it a little knuckle punch. "You still have a big bum", he told me.  Yes, in Korea I suppose my backside is considered big I claim Korea doesn't know "big".  "I didn't say I had a small bum", I snapped back with, "I have a strong bum,... I have a great trained Polish bum."  "Give my 5 reasons why you think you have a great bum", he asked so I listed my reasons...
1.  I'm from Canada, the Country of Chests (breasts) but mine have decreased as my boxing has increased.  Now I live in the Land of Leg but I'm only 5ft 2" so I'm vertically challenged here.  So I don't have a chest and I lack the long legs but my booty sticks out here, literally and figuratively speaking, so I love it.
2.  It is half the size it used to be so I am no longer insecure of it and instead have grown to love it because it is so much stronger and healthier than before.
3.  It trains hard and kicks other people's butts.
4.  It provides very comfortable, natural padding that, in my mind, super skinny girls envy.
5.  Because I have never had an ex complain about it.  It has always been a much loved body part.
Perhaps the fifth reason I should have kept to myself and made up a different one.  Regardless, my five reasons were legit, solid reasons, or so I felt.  "Fine, you have a great bum... but I still think it's big", he admitted.
