Senpai Tim started his martial arts journey with Nikidokai in late 2020 after the reopening from the COVID epidemic. Senpai and his wife Cheyenne were looking for some physical activity that they could do alongside their 2 children (Jaden and Zack) and this is when they walked in the door and their lives began to change. Senpai had pursued a life in music since he was a teen, he had great success in music from touring the country, being signed to record labels and playing world renowned venues like Whiskey A Go-go in Hollywood. Ultimately the life style had taken its toll on him with constant negativity, rejection, physical injuries and an unhealthy diet which led to a big weight gain. 

At this time Senpai had decided to make a change and started the Keto diet along with daily workout routines and sauna time. After losing over 100 lbs in less than a year he had a better outlook on what he could accomplish physically in life but only a few month later the COVID epidemic swept the country and ultimately put a stop to his music pursuit. Once people could emerge from their dwellings to go back to a normal pre COVID life he signed up his family at 2KnuckleSports merely to provide fitness for the entire family. Once Senpai Tim and his family started classes they took to it like fish to water. Nikidokai and its lifestyle provided structure, discipline and respect not only for each other but most importantly, for one’s self. 

Nikidokai has provided Senpai with a way to release the negativity that had been haunting him for years as well as keeping a close bond with his family. Senpai Tim enjoys sharing what he learns with young kohais to help groom the next generation into self-respecting leaders while also teaching from his past experiences that tough times never last but tough people do.
