Congratulations to our Student of the Month: Paul Rocha!
Hi Paul, can you please tell us a little bit about yourself?
Hi everyone, I am Paul Rocha and was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, but moved to San Gabriel in May 2018.
Currently, I work as a painter by day, train to be become a fighter by night.
What classes do you take and what got you interested?
Before joining Professor Gino’s class my routine was just working, eating and sleeping. I did not have any hobbies nor was I participating in any activities.
How long have you been training and what is your current belt rank?
I started training in Muay Thai Kickboxing since December 2018 and train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since March of 2019 both at Silanoe Martial Arts.
What is your favorite part of the Jiu-Jitsu/Muay Thai class?
My favorite part of the class is the friendship & trust I have with many of the students. I feel as if I am part of a big family that shares similar ambitions.
Do you have a favorite Jiu-Jitsu/Muay Thai technique?
This should remain undisclosed as I plan to use these moves in future competitions lol.
What current and future goals do you have?
In the time being, my full attention is on my recent marriage & career. However, I still make time to continue my training with professor Gino & his team. I would love to keep competing as well as pursuing a higher degree belt in the near future.
Is there anything else that you would like to share with us?
I am extremely proud of being a part of Silanoe Martial Arts in San Gabriel!
