J4F: Amy for our fans who are not familiar with you can youplease tell us about yourself. (Where you are from, family, hobbies, and titlesor certifications.)

Amy: Ihave lived in South Florida since I was 13 years old, I consider myself aFloridian.

Ihave 2 children, a daughter 18 and a son 19, I had them both when I was 10.LOL. Training keeps meyoung;D 

I have beentraining in Martial Arts for a little over 21 years. I started with Kung Fu,opened a school with my first school, with my first instructor who at the timewas my husband... Opps, he broke the rules. I have an instructorcertification for Muay Thai Kickboxing through the WMTC and WKA.

J4F: Amy you’re the founder and Master instructor at FIST martialarts, tell us about that. (How many students do you have, what programs do youoffer and most importantly what’s your routine like being the head instructor,take us through a simple day at work.)

Amy: My title may beMaster instructor; the truth is I do not even teach anymore. My staff membersare much better both at teaching and technically, so now after teachingfor 15 plus years I handed the torch to them. So now I take care ofthe business end of things. As a matter of fact tomorrow we move into our new4500 square foot MMA Training facility. Craig Oxley, the head instructor of theschool is actually fighting in the Strike Force Show January 30th in FortLauderdale.

J4F: Amy, if I’m not mistaken you are also the founder andcreator of Tufchik gear. What was the reason behind this creation and what setsTufchik apart from other brands that are out there?(Tell us all you can aboutTufchik)

Amy: And then cametufchikgear, totally out of necessity! I was tired of training and looking likeI was wearing my brother’s clothes. The girls at my school like to train inskorts, however the ones on the market just didn't cut it fir the heavytraining we did so I decided to patent a fighter skort... one thing lead to thenext and now I have a high quality fully functional line of training apparelfor women, men and kids!! The rest is history.
