I am a creative. I believe in community, sustainability and transparency. I don't eat meat or dairy and I am only interested in positive movements and people. I am a 3rd generation self-defense practitioner of Kajukenbo Karate since age five. I studied under my grandfather, the late Professor Aleju Reyes and my father, Professor Alan M. Reyes of Hawaii. I teach Kajukenbo self defense classes and spin fire for fun.
