For Luis, it was love at first kick.   Taking to the sport with the fire of an Aztec Warrior, Luis reshaped his 285-pound-frame into a 165-pound well-conditioned kickboxing athlete.   Nicknamed, “Relentless” for his unstoppable will and drive to succeed,
Luis is making a name for himself on the “smoker” circuit.   His most notable victory was defeating an opponent who was 6’4”! !   Luis credits his consistent work ethic and desire to prove the “haters” wrong for his success.
Luis parts with some wisdom for anyone wanting to get into kickboxing: “Stay motivated, make small achievable goals and don’t miss class.”   Inspiration is never far away for Luis as his father trains with him daily.   With an intelligent mind, a quick left hook and a powerful kick to the body Luis has the skills that can take him to the pinnacle of kickboxing.   Luis, practicing what he preaches is taking it one competition at a time.   And Winning……….
  
When Luis isn’t training for an upcoming fight, he collects medieval collectibles and plays video games.
Luis plans to study physiology in college.
