Subfighter MMA

Subfighter MMA is proud to announce that we are bringing back the Member of the Month! No better way to start it off than with this gentleman. When you see ...him around the gym be sure to say hello! What is your name and where are you from? My full name is Mustafa Adam Alp. I am from loridjina, a village that resides in the occupied areas of the Republic of Cyprus. I was born and raised north London U.K. and I hold dual nationalities ( my mother is English British and my father is Louridjinian Cypriot). How long have you been training in martial arts? I have been formerly practicing Martial Arts since the age of 11 ( training at an actual school) but I have been mimicking moves that I saw in kung fu movies as soon as I was introduced to them from my mother at like age 5. What belt rank/ranks are you? I am a 1st Dan in Shotokhan Karate a 5th kyu in MISOMA freestyle, I have also practiced Taiji Wushu and sanshou ( from a friend in university and a shaolin Academy but I use to work on the Sundays when they did the gradings, so no official rank). I am also a blue belt in BJJ from Palestra academy (formerly Aspida Renzo Gracie). Who were you in highschool? At "high school" (in England it's a little different) I was known for practicing my karate in the playground and just looking older than everyone else because I was hairy and built. I was very clean living until 16 (ganja tobacco and alcohol) and pumped with testosterone so I was always ready for a scrap and everyone knew it. People used to try rough play with me, even as a group which resulted in me hip throwing them, throwing pencils like throwing knives etc etc. I was comfortable hanging out with everyone (even when they were not). I must say I was socially awkward to be around, I'm surprised anyone was my friend at all. I used to pick on popular kids and rip in to them, but I used to defend the nerdy ones from getting bullied as well and bring them to my Karate club so they could learn to fight. Even though people made fun of me it wasn't often to my face. From ages 16 to 18 I tried to be more responsible and only fight as a last resort but I regret that because it lead to dickhead taking the piss. Win or lose if someone knows it's gonna be a fight everytime they mess with you they tend not to do it. I do regret my action though I would take the piss out of people a lot, even unprovoked and that's something I'm happy to say I grew out of. What do you do now? Right now I work part time in 7/11 and train full time at Subfighter. I am planning on competing and making martial arts my sole profession. I recently went completely sober which I feel has put my focus back on training. What brought you to training? Martial arts is the only consistent thing in my life, it's just what I am, why I do it, I don't know, I even travelled here to California just to learn from these amazing gyms. Seriously this place is like my mecca. What brought you to Subfighter MMA? I was living in Santa Ana training at Rounders MMA and boxing because it was the most local MMA gym ( great experience, coach Bao is a g) but after my landlady kicked me out I found a room close to where I was working in Lake Forest which lead me to Subfighter, I honestly believe the higher powers brought me there, call it law of attraction. Can you tell us two things that most people don't know about you? I'm quite an open book, anyone who knows me kinda knows what I'm about. But for those who don't know me too well I studied Acupuncture and chinese massage "Tui Na" which also includes clicks. I like to read. Especially religious book's my favourites being the Tao Te Ching and the Hagakure.
