This, this right here, this hug right after the final bell rang in my fight was a symbol of someone who believed in me. It was a moment we both knew all our hard work paid off. It is my trainer telling me "great job" without saying a word.

 I am fortunate enough to have met our friend Kyle McElroy and my current trainer Tommy Bach at the same exact time in 1997. They were both teaching my very first kickboxing class together. Kyle went his separate way to a school called Z's Martial Arts. I feel like the story behind these two amazing instructors and their journey in the martial arts world is quite difficult to capture in one article. I talk quite a bit about Tommy in my articles because I am his student and train at his studio currently on a regular bases. In this particular article I will try to capture our dear friend for many many years, Kyle MceElroy and the talent he poses and his ability to pass it on to others.

 Fifteen years had gone by in a blink and I walked back into Seong Hea's Martial Arts Academy with world champion/trainer Tommy Bach. After what felt like a life time my heart picked up right where it left off, loving kickboxing just as much as I did before I took a long break from it to pursue other things.
