Last night was the last night of my 12 weeks of the #NJPWAcademy beginners class training. It was such a wonderful experience, and I learned so much. It was not easy, from struggling with confidence at times, which is something I've struggled with throughout life, to pushing myself out of my introverted/homebody comfort zone like I've never before, moving out of my parents' house for the first time, to occasional frustrating injuries, but I pushed through, and I'm so incredibly happy that I did. I've never been more passionate about anything in my life than I am about Professional Wrestling. It was always the first thing I truly fell in love with, and learning the basics at this 3 month training only made me love it even more from a totally different perspective than just as a fan. Getting in that ring is where I love to be. Thank you, Coach @Dylankylecox for teaching me everything I know. It's been a huge honor to learn from you thus far. You've helped me in so many ways more than you'll ever know. More than just in Wrestling, but in confidence and being pushed out of my comfort zone in general and believing in myself in ways that I never did before. I couldn't have asked for a better coach to start my Professional Wrestling training journey with. You're the best. Genuinely thank you so much. 🙏 Thank you, Justin, for everything you've done for us via social media and opening up the Dojo for open ring time, for giving us the opportunity to help set up for the showcase show, for giving advice, for answering any questions we've had, and for just being cool all-around. (I don't know your Twitter, but I'll try to tag you on Instagram.) Thank you, @TheRealZaneJ for always coming to our training sessions and training with us and being somewhat like a 2nd coach and giving us advice and telling how to correctly do something if we're doing it wrong. Thank you for helping explain the structure of matches in my first practice matches and going over every little detail if I was confused or nervous about something. Thank you for always being there to hype us up and answering anything we ask. You're gonna kill it tomorrow at Windy City Riot!! 🔥 Thank you, to my NJPW Academy dojo training mates, who I'd also like to call friends. I've struggled to go out and make friends at some times in life. I have really enjoyed training with you all and learning with you guys. And also hanging out with y'all sometimes after trainings. Evan, Fred, Alan, Juan, David. 🤝 @ShadowsDameon @FredApplewhite3 @Romeo_Guz @DGth3rd Thank you so much to family and everyone back home and on social media who has prayed for me and/or reached out and checked on me and wished me luck. I really do appreciate all of you. I don't 100% know what's next for me, as I go back home for a little bit for the first time in 3 months, but I know that I've had an absolute blast training here at NJPW Academy. And I'm far from done with my Professional Wrestling journey. I love Professional Wrestling. ❤️ God bless. 🙏 @NJPWofAmerica @njpwglobal
