Martial Arts Experience

1987 - 1990 Black belt (Kushin Ryu M Karatedo)

Arnawa studied under a number of sin shes throughout his martial arts career including Ardi Gangas who, after competing in the World Cup, gained a 3rd world ranking.
Capitalizing on the strengths of each sin she, Arnawa progressed quickly in both physical skill and mental alertness to the level of black belt. His awareness of Kushin Ryu M Karatedo was enhanced by the diversity of training methods employed by his teachers.

Arnawa's muscle development throughout this period presented a disadvantage to him in competition. His body weight, strength and general physique often exceeded his competitors and compromised his speed and agility. Having achieved his personal goals, Arnawa retired from the sport and turned his attention to bodybuilding.
