Personal note

On Aden's MMA History:

Aden Haddad-Salah is a life-long martial artist who started practicing at the age of 12. Originally beginning with Chinese Martial Arts, Aden eventually made the transition into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Mixed Martial Arts. Aden has competed in BJJ and MMA, but primarily focused on Muay Thai competition. A native New Yorker, Aden trained and fought out of Evolution Muay Thai in NYC, and the MMA Clinic in London. Recently, Aden moved back to New York from Southern California, where he had the opportunity to train with and learn from many high-level martial artists, including Cub Swanson, Brian Ortega, Kevin Ross, BJ Penn, and Dan Argueta. Aden’s years of experience in Muay Thai gave him an unparalleled eye for technique, body mechanics, and competition/self defense application. Aden worked well with everyone; from youth, adults, women, and those looking to compete.
