Ermar "Alex" Alexander

The Fighter

Alex says: "Competing in tournaments have shown to me that it is not easy to apply fancy techniques in a fight. The simplest techniques are actually the most realistic ones you can use in a fight, whether real or competition/games. Your senses are blurred, your heart pumps, your muscles constrict and adrenaline rushes to your whole body. All your, even focused, mind can think of is how to get out of a situation as quickly and as safely as possible. Being a martial artist doesn't guarantee a 100% chance of survival, but it gives a martial artist a better chance of surviving a confrontation from an untrained attacker. And this chance is slightly increased when one has tested his skills in the ring with a skilled fighter. Will I ever stop competing? I will keep on fighting while I'm still enjoying the game."

Alex is also the founder of the Seni Eskrima Championships and KOMBATA Limited Armour Championships. (Copyright 2008. All Rights Reserved.)
