KENDALL W. CONTINUED............................
OZ: I’m not as familiar with girls in MMA, are there any bouts with boys and girls together?
KTK: Yes, most of my competitions are against boys. I train with boys every day so it does not phase me. So far, every competition I’ve entered, I’ve had to compete against a boy.
OZ: Of all the types of Martial Arts you have been studying, which is your favorite?
KTK: That’s a really hard question for me as I LOVE Ju Jitsu AND Sport Karate. I have mainly competed in Ju Jitsu tournaments, but love Sport Karate. I was asked to be part of our elite group of kids, called the Black Belt Club. We are a Demo team that demonstrate MMA/Sport Karate at schools, malls, Hockey Games, etc. I am the Official Nun Chuck “Ninja” for our Black Belt Club at Alan Belcher MMA and absolutely LOVE it! Out of these two Martial Arts, I prefer Ju Jitsu.
OZ: Which do you prefer, stand up or ground game and why?
KTK: My ground game is amazing, but I prefer stand up as I find it easier to attack my opponent as I can deliver fast punches and my kicks are around 90% accurate. This helps me to defeat my opponent easier.
OZ: Do you have a favorite professional MMA fighter?
KTK: I have three favorite professional MMA fighters. They are: Alexis Davis, Nate Diaz and George St. Pierre. I look up to Alexis Davis as she is one of few females in the Sport of MMA. Of Course, I love Alan Belcher! That’s a given!
OZ: How do you balance your life as a kid with a rigorous training schedule? What other fun things do you like to do?
KTK: My training is mainly in the afternoons/evenings. I’m still a “normal” kid who hangs out with my friends. I have become very close friends with the kids I train with since we spend so much time together training and at the gym. My training schedule does not “usually” get in the way of time with friends, homework or family. If I have homework or studying to do, I sometimes miss MMA training for a day.
Other fun things I like to do are: Softball, Basketball, playing outside, computer, listening to music, watching TV, spending time with friends, etc. I especially enjoy spending time with my baby sisters who are one & two! They are very entertaining!
