:: Biography ::

Lucas first asked to train in Martial Arts at the age of two.
Thinking he was too young I enrolled him in gymnastics. For two
more years he persistently kept asking for lessons so finally at
the age of four we found a school.
Lucas "The Sandman" has been training at Ephrata Martial Arts
Studio under the instruction of Justin Press for almost 6 years.
Lucas has shown exceptional potential in Martial Arts. He has a
focus and drive rarely seen in a child at such at young age.
He began competing five years ago at the age of five. He has
already won 70 + trophies/medals including 40+ first places, three
of them being world title belts.Lucas  holds a Black Belt in Kung
Fu and a Green Belt in SAMBO.
Lucas has the ability to achieve a high level in mixed martial arts
and his goal is to eventually compete professionally in MMA


EDUCATION
Lucas is homeschooled, which gives him the opportunity to have
extra training time in the gym. This also
allows Lucas to further his martial arts training privately.
