Sitdown with Team Funkyama Young Gun "Aoki Aoki "

Fighter profile of Aoki Aoki by War Machine

As turn up to the Team Funkyama gym in Central London  i'm surprised to see just 10 fighters in this Pristine gym.

  i grab Aoki this morning before his Muay Thai session and we grab 5minutes together.

Reporter: hi Aoki, how's training coming along since you went pro?

Aoki Aoki: Training is going well, the coaches say I'm not the fastest of learners but that doesn't matter as they say I have potential. I'm currently training my Muay Thai. I know how to land a knee bar, get a rear naked and snap on an arm bar but I want to kick people, I want to cut people in the clinch. That's what we are working on now.

 R: Your next fight is against an older fighter, are you worried he may be too much for you this early in your career?

AA: no, I asked for this fight and got it. I want to test myself on the ground against a brown belt!

R: where do you see yourself in 6 months?

AA: black belt, and an accomplished muay thai fighter with olympic pedegree wrestling.

R: I can see your coaches want you to start wrapping up, lll let you get on. good luck in your upcoming fight.

Aoki Aoki  currently fights for Heroic Fighting Championships in London.
