As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).

After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.

Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Checking Out My New Hood

Headed out of Eastwood, past some of the rougher patches of the Philippines, and into Makati.
 My new hood -- Legazpi Street in Makati. 
 Checked out Elite Boxing Club today.
First thing I noticed was the lack of Elorde on their sign.  I thought they were Elorde Elite.
I think they may have parted ways with Elorde and this may change things for me.
The club is pretty big and with it's super high ceilings it's quite spacious feeling.
Then I checked out another supposed Elorde Boxing Club.  It was in the basement of the Makati Sports Club, in a squash court.  Despite it's questionable ghettoness and questions regarding how they could ever possibly pass this off as a real Elorde Boxing Club, they seem to be one of the most expensive Elorde clubs to train at.  My question here is why?!  Unless Manny Pacquiao is training me personally here, I can't see how they can justify their prices.
