Jackson Glass has been passionate about combat sports since he was a toddler. The 15-year-old Austin native has his sights on becoming a household name on fight night.
AUSTIN, Texas —
Glass first took Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes when he started martial arts, but in the last three years, he’s been practicing Muay Thai. Muay Thai is closest to kickboxing in the realm of martial arts. Competitors never go to the ground, and they can fight using their elbows, knees, fists and legs to strike an opponent. “Teaches you great discipline and shows that if you practice the right way, you will see the results,” Glass said.
“There comes a point where in order to truly progress, you have to teach,” Wells said. “It really reinforces your understanding of the art and what you’re trying to do.”
