Congratulations to our adult Student of the Month Caleb Luong!

Hi Caleb, please tell us a little bit about yourself.

I, Caleb live(s) in Alhambra and I grew up there.  I am currently a Senior at Alhambra High School.  I am passionate about learning human psychology and everything about countries around the world.  I live with my mom, dad, twin brother, and pet dog.  

What classes do you take and what got you interested?

I trained for a year in Muay Thai Kickboxing and currently, I am taking Jiu-Jitsu. I am a white belt in BJJ.

What is your favorite part of the Jiu-Jitsu & Muay Thai class?

My favorite part of these classes is being able to practice and spar with the other students.  

Do you have a favorite Jiu-Jitsu or Muay Thai technique?

My favorite Muay Thai technique is definitely the Head Kick. The Jiu-Jitsu technique I favor the most is the Rear Naked Choke.

What current and future goals do you have?

I plan on training until I am a proficient beginner in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.  

Is there anything else that you would like to share with us?

I also want to say that knowing both Muay-Thai and Jiu-Jitsu gives a strong foundation for the potential for me as a person.   

Caleb has been training both Muay Thai Kickboxing and BJJ and he sees it as a strong foundation.

Caleb values the potential Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu have for personal growth. His favorite part is the sparring because it gives him the opportunity to learn together with teammates and apply all the knowledge in live training.
