Member of the Month – May 2018

Cromer describes himself as “just an average guy” who happens to be a passionate Martial Artist. Plus, he loves absolutely everything Martial Arts has to offer – oh, and he’s our May Member of the Month! We know him as the gentle giant – the one everyone loves to say G’day to! We asked him a few questions so you can get to know him too…

What do you like to do in your spare time?

In my spare time I listen to horrorcore rap, study martial arts and self defense videos online and watch MMA or pro wrestling.

You’ve been at the ETC for a while now – why did you choose us?

I chose ETC because after years of training different styles and helping coach, train and corner up and coming fighters I needed a new challenge with people on a similar path to mine. Also the culture of the gym, everyone is driven, passionate and hard working but everyone also has time to share some knowledge or have a laugh.

What do you love about MMA?

MMA for me is a way to not only get my health and fitness up but is applicable at my work (I have been in security for 15 years) and also creates very close friendships.

What do you find the hardest about training during Winter?

The hardest thing about training in Winter is getting up at 5am to do weights or boxing, but the people make it worth it.
