Shaolin Fighting Disciple
Bio
Elijah began martial arts at the age of 6, starting with karate. This then lead to him moving into boxing, Wing-Chun and many other styles of martial arts. At the age of 15 he was taken under the wing of my masters Shifu Shi Yanzi, 34th generation Shaolin Monk and Shifu Shi Yanlei, 34th generation Shaolin Warrior Disciple. Through their teachings and his own dedication, he was able to show the skill and power of Shaolin in the ring.
Over the years he won many titles and amassed a wealth of knowledge through cross training in multiple combat sports. Through his life long martial arts practice and journey, he now aim's to pass on the knowledge and fight experience he has gained over the past 23 years and bring something different to the combat side of the BXR brand...from willpower grows success.
