When did you start Judo?
I started when I was 5 years old, with Sensei Alex Bezzina, till the age of 9. I then had a four year hiatus as I pursued another sport. However, I returned to judo when I was 13 years old and have been training ever since.
Why did you start Judo?

What do you value the most?

Respect. Winning or losing all Judokas must respect one another.
Are you a glass half empty or glass half full kind of person?
Are you a glass half empty or glass half full kind of person?
I like to think that I have a positive outlook on life. I try to see a solution to a problem, rather than dwell on the obstacle. So i would say I'm a glass half full kind of person.
If you could do anything in the world what would it be?

I love cooking and eating. Therefore, I think if I could do anything in life, I would want to run my own restaurant.
Where do you want to be in 5-10 years from now?
Where do you want to be in 5-10 years from now?
Given that I am an avid foodie, i would love to be able to sample all kinds of cuisines. I would love to be in a position to travel the world and see what the international community has to offer. I would also love to be in a position to travel for leisure and actually see the places as a tourist. Though I do currently travel around the world, there is often not much time for sightseeing and there is definitely no opportunity to eat as much as I would like.
