Aaron is a Professional mixed martial artist in flyweight division from Reading, that was supposed to display his skills 28th of march on Shock and Awe in Portsmouth same show as Aphrodite. We have been evolving for some time now and we caught a real flow. Lets check his answers to our questions.
Why do you fight?
I love to compete and for me fighting is the greatest form of competition
How and when did you start?
I started after watching late night ufc fights on channel five and wanting to learn to wrestle, from there I joined a local mma gym and gained an interest in fighting and competing in mma
Who is your inspiration and why?
I've had many people who inspired me in life, but 2 people have inspired me recently and they are a combination of Gregor (Gk1) and Pelu, Gregors belief in his ability to mold a fighter to get the best they didn't know they had and Pelu's belief not only in Gregor but himself to become that have inspired me to believe I can be more
Do you fight full time or do you have to work? How hard is one or the other?
I don't fight full time all though that is my goal. Fighting and training is infinitely harder than my day job
Your advice to young fighters and kids wanting to do this for a living?
Always be open to new ideas and never get stuck into thinking there's only one way of doing things
How did you come across GK1STRIKING and what's your experience and benefit working with Coach G?
After searching for training patterns for an up coming fight I met Coach G and he opened my eyes to a lot of what I was missing from my game and I'd say the benefits are huge not just in my abilities but my confidence in my ability, it's important for a coach to not just give you the knowledge and how to use it but the confidence that you can use it and Coach G those that.
Favorite martial arts movie star growing up?
It's a toss up between Jackie Chan and Jean-Claude Van Damme
Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
World champion

Joanna Jedrzejczyk
Up and coming fighter to look out for?
