Throwing 180s and 270s and doing some drifting was really fun. Got to try and learn some nunchucks, which was a little hectic, but enjoyable.

I love what I called John Wick boot camp and going to John Wick’s school because I get to meet so many great masters of what they do, try and learn. It was a great experience.”
