What is your main background and what arts do you cross train in?<br /><br />JN: I was trained in Muay Thai and Ju jitsu. I like the ground fighting the best cause it seems more practical in defending myself if needed in the streets.<br /><br />PD: You were on Perfect 10 Model Boxing. How did you find the competition and was the training just as grueling as preparing for a sanctioned fight?<br /><br />JN: When i would prepare for a P10 fight i would train just as hard. My Trainer, Mac Danzig, wouldn't let me slack and pushed me just as hard for any fight. The competition ranged. All the models gave it there all and all the fighters were hard work. Those girls had amazing hearts and drive. They weren't just some model that was picked to fight. They all trained really hard - some even for two years. IT was a great experience.<br /><br />PD: What age did you start martial arts/boxing and what made you get into it?<br /><br />JN: I started martial arts at a really young age, but that took a back seat to soccer until I was 21. I moved into a house that had two fighters living in it and both trained me in their respected arts. Shortly after, I started competing.<br /><br />PD: And finally, being a model, I'm sure you've run into some interesting fellows. Have you had to use your knowledge to defend yourself?<br /><br />JN: No, I've been lucky to have never needed to use my knowledge of fighting. I've found that words can work just as good and if you carry yourself with respect, you dont have to worry about being disrepected.
