But his main area of interests revolve around fitness of self and others. These include Professional Dancing and Martial Arts, which he has been studied since the age of 11. The Martial Arts styles completed are as follows: Judo, Wushu Quain, Wing Chun, and Tai Ji.

He started dancing at the age of 7 then stopped at the age of 10. Started dancing again at the age of 19 to help his Martial Arts. He studied at Pineapple Studios for two years & later progressed to the Central School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance for three years.
