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 Pre, Post and Post-Post Pics of Sparring... Friday, November 13

The post sparring picture -- us proudly representing our club tank tops and looking all bright eyed and bushy tailed on a chilly Friday morning while the rest of the city sleeps.
The immediate post sparring picture -- us all super sweaty but super smiley from not only kicking each other's butt with the 12 gruelling rounds but pushing ourselves to our limits.
The post, post sparring picture -- us after the head gear and equipment has come off, the adrenalin has started to wear off, and the hunger pains for a hard earned breakfast start to kick it.  It was at this moment I realized I had a mouth full of blood.  I had chomped down too hard on my mouth guard and in doing so I cut the heck out of the inside of my mouth.  Tasted it from about round 8 on.
