The Bullied Kid Becomes a BJJ Beast: The JT Tenacity Origin Story.

Were you bullied at school? Did you get beaten up or abused? JT was a nerdy, chubby and un-athletic kid. All he wanted to do was fit in and make friends. Unfortunately it doesn't always work out and kids can be cruel. Starting in Ballet and then moving to gymnastics was a mixed blessing, dooming him to ridicule but setting him up for being very flexible. Being over weight, unfit and uncool made JT an easy target! Until he decided at age 10 to start doing self defence at his local TaeKwonDo school. A moment occurred that changed his life forever and put him on the Martial Arts path helping him become who he is today. This is the origin story of why JT is so passionate about learning to fight and why he gets so fired up!
