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.

Half Way to Recovery Already... Monday, October 28

I was expecting to wake up feeling like a truck had hit me... a crazy ass truck, one of those massive transport trucks with the extra wheels and maxed out load.  Oddly enough, no truck feeling today.  I did however wake up with the tightest calves possible, woozers.  The cramping I had experienced in yesterday's Spartan race had lingered and I woke up during the night, several times, to the same cramping.  I tried massaging them but it felt like they were on fire.  This morning, no fire and no truck, just tightness.  

My recovery from beating the hell out of my body has apparently upgraded a few notches. 

I'd like to thank rugby for that.  The hits from boxing have nothing on the hits I take at rugby.

I didn't have any coaching today. 

I didn't have boxing either.

I did however have rugby -- skill testing with the Lady Volcanoes, the national team.

Do I think I'll make the team right now? No.  Even if I was up to par with their ridiculously mad skills, I don't think I'm officially allowed to join the national team.  I'm not ready for it either.  Regardless, with regards to the skill testing they did tonight, I showed up with tight calves and mad rope burn on my ankles because I wanted to do the testing
