78 — THE YEAR IT STARTED. 🙏🏽🥋

Forty-eight years later, I look back not at titles or positions, but at the journey that allowed me to earn them.

I have been fortunate to wear many hats in this life:
Fighter. Student. Teacher. Innovator. Entrepreneur. Son. Father. Husband.

But through every chapter, I remain a student first—because martial arts and life have taught me that there is always more to learn, more to improve, and more to give.

My journey has allowed me to earn Black Belts in Shotokan Karate, Yoshinkan Aikido, Krav Maga, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Each discipline has contributed something different to the martial artist, teacher and man I continue trying to become.

Today, I am humbled to serve as the Owner and Head Instructor of Budokan – Chin Leung Martial Arts, Owner of Caribbean Ultimate Fist Fighting (CUFF), a Self-Defense Specialist and Personal Trainer, President of the Mixed Martial Arts Association of Trinidad and Tobago, and Vice President of the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Wrestling and Beach Wrestling Federation.

But those are positions. They are not the measure of the man.

The accomplishments I value most cannot be written on a résumé—the students I have helped, the fighters I have watched grow, the opportunities I have helped create, the lessons I have learned from my mistakes, and most importantly, the family that has stood beside me through it all.

At 48, I don't believe I've arrived anywhere.

I am still learning.
Still building.
Still teaching.
Still fighting.
Still evolving.

And above everything else, I remain God-fearing and God-loving, grateful for every blessing, every lesson, every person placed in my path, and every opportunity I've been given to make a difference.

The 78 on my back isn't a fight record or a number of accomplishments.

It's simply 1978 — the year my journey began.

And by God's grace, there are still many chapters left to write. 🙏🏽

Fighter. Student. Teacher. Son. Father. Husband.
Always a student of martial arts. Always a student of life.

Our girl Amy Rajkumar goes to war tomorrow. We are so super proud of her. She worked really hard in this fight prep and we are soooooo excited to see her put all that work together tomorrow and come away with the Win. We are all there with you Ams... Time to have fun.

🥋 Every belt tells a story.

Every stripe represents growth.

Every challenge shapes character.

At BUDOKAN, progression is more than technique… it’s an emotional and mental journey from beginner to leader. From White Belt to Senior Black Belt, each stage represents discipline, resilience, humility, and lifelong learning.

No shortcuts.

No ego.

Just growth through hard work and consistency.

Which belt mindset are you currently living in? 👊🔥
