ROGER YINGThanks are due to US Super Lightweight and Canadian Lightweight Kickboxing Champion Roger Ying who took the time out of his busy schedule to meet with me.
Roger Ying is 29 years old but you'd never know it to look at him. His boyish good looks defy an inner strength and pitbull - like determination derived from years of experience in the ring. Roger started his martial arts training about 11 years ago with four months in a Tae Kwon Do school. It was the Kumite - the sparring that he wanted to pursue. Always a bit of a do-or-dare sort of guy, Roger wasn't content to practice kata's again and again - he wanted to test his skills against another human being. He began to search for something else. Next stop Twin Dragon.
Roger sunk his teeth in and took every opportunity to step into the ring and test his abilities. Training out of the East Toronto location with Lou Guiliani, Roger continues on his quest for even more titles with a current record of 10 wins and 1 loss. |

Roger is a busy guy - training hard, playing hard - well
everything he does he does to the fullest! So you can imagine what a treat it was to have
him slow down long enough for a visit.
Twin Dragon offered a form of training Roger had
never witnessed before. Fast, aerobic, repetitious, form based on offensive and defensive
strategies, this was much more physical than anything he had ever dreamed.
