Maximo Nunez

Maximo grew up training in Shotokan Karate and Taekwondo. He was often told by his peers that he was too short to compete in Sport Karate and Taekwondo, but with the support of his mother he never got discouraged. Instead, he used it as motivation to succeed. He would eventually earn his Black Belt in Taekwondo and train with the Dominican National Taekwondo Team. He would later immigrate to the United States and compete in Muay Thai, earning an 8-0 amateur record. Today he coaches at American Top Team Longwood and competes in Karate Combat alongside Kai Callaway and Alejandro Brugal as part of the ATT Longwood Karate Team.
