In an interview with Red Marcial stated..

in early 2000 I started doing Taebo and at the same gym doing kickboxing. Then I tried karate, martial art was the thing I needed, and I was fascinated. Because I realized that you can learn beyond linguistic experience. In karate you learn through bodily sensations, postures, through fatigue itself and overcoming fears. It was the antithesis of education she had. In fact, I left college, I felt that life was passing me and I was instructing from the academic intellectual life, which is already dominated. My parents cared so much I went to college, they are from another generation. But they accepted it, they are very liberal.
