Hello Fight Friends!
Today I get to chat with a man MADE for combat, Karate Combat contender Alexander Krutskykh!
-- BEFORE WE START - I don't know what happened, but my Audio shut off 1 min in, so I sound like the guest today haha, oh well, we roll on anyway!
I have seen Alex online with his social media, I have seen him fight live on Karate Combat, I met him at the Anuwat Kaewsamrit at my gym - so I figured, "let's chat to him now and get a podcast going!" and here we are! Alex is originally from the Ukraine, so naturally I wanted to know #1 what was it like moving to Canada from so far away, and #2 - Ukraine is well known for it's excellence in combat sports, what was it like going from combat sports every weekend to having to go find competition in Canada.
OF COURSE I was very curious about his new home for violence, Karate Combat - but Alex tells an AWESOME story about how he had his 1 shot to prove his worth to the President of Karate Combat, and the conclusion of that "try out", AND having to go an extra round in a fight with a plan to win and propose to his girlfriend at the end of that tilt with gear still on, in front of the whole crowd - WHAT PRESSURE!! haha
Some people are teachers, some people are cooks. And some people are simply born for combat - Alex is one of those warriors! it was awesome to hear his journey from Ukraine to Canada and his climb from boxing, Muay Thai BJJ and karate to one of the most entertaining combat promotions out there - Karate Combat! GREAT CHAT WITH A HUMBLE WARRIOR - SHOUT OUT TO YOU ALEX!!
