I've done a lot of training in martial arts. I started out in warring tempo, I did sports jujitsu, and I've also practiced extreme martial arts.

I'm a martial artist, and I don't train because I have a fight; I train because it's my lifestyle, and I'll train every day if I'm not hurt.

I'm a calm-headed fighter. I do my job.

I practice staying calm all the time, beginning with situations that aren't tense.

Every situation I have ever been in I have been trained for, and I dealt with it to the best of my abilities.

I am the world's most appalling martial artist. I am so bad. I've studied jujitsu, kickboxing, t'ai chi. Once, I was sparring with someone, made a mistake, and managed to knock them down. I was so shocked that I dropped to my knees to see if they were all right, and then they knocked me out cold. From the floor.

When I compete, I tell myself to be calm. It's not something that's the rest of your life. You're in gymnastics for fun.

I try to keep the martial arts up. It's a good thing, not just physically but also for your mind.

If I stay alert, then I can challenge myself, and by challenging myself, that helps me to stay alive and to hopefully take something away from the experience.

I train for whatever happens. I'm prepared for wherever the fight goes.
