My mini-bio on Takashi Munoz:
I came across Takashi when I was working at a spot in Los Angeles. He used to come around the venue and didn’t know why until I joined the Kyokushin Karate class on the third floor. He would come almost every day for training along with going to school and training at the boxing gym as well. At times he would train me, and being as young as he was (and still is), he was very mature and focused on the art of fighting. He is very disciplined, and quick with his techniques. Aside from fighting there would be times when we hung out and talked as he spoke of his dreams of becoming a champion. He has so much passion, and dedication; it’s only obvious he’s moving forward to becoming a world champ. Trying to balance school, work and his dreams in fighting, Takashi keeps his head on straight to become a better fighter, and a person in whole. He knows what hard work and discipline is as he knows respect, and with all his training, and skills, this humble 19 year old is about to stand on top of the world, so watch out!
