Everything begins with a story.

Mine led me to study with Shaolin monks in the mountains of China for two years.

It was there that I developed a deep connection with the kung-fu straight sword, a practice that became an extension of myself over the last twelve years.

At the Shaolin academy, the benefits I saw went beyond the physical. I developed a mindset focused on resilience, self-belief, and the value of consistent, disciplined effort. This period was pivotal in reshaping my view of personal achievement as a continuous journey of practice. With a strong desire to seek knowledge at its source, I moved to Rishikesh, India, where I became a certified yoga teacher.

During this time, the seeds of WeaponUP were sewn.

Initially WeaponUP remained in the background as I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and Master’s degree in Sustainability Management. My commitment to making a societal impact led me to an exciting career with the United Nations. Though I find fulfillment in my work, my heart continuously gravitates back to the art of movement.

WeaponUP has reemerged, now stronger than ever and as an experience that intertwines two forms of movement, offering practitioners not just the physical benefits but a fun, beautiful movement practice unlike anything anyone has experienced before.

Thank you for being here and part of this wild ride!
