Eric Williams began wrestling at 9 yrs of age. The strong work ethic from the farm combined with a love for technical wrestling knowledge led Eric to 7 national wrestling titles. At the early age of 15, Eric was selected for the Olympic project a select team of Olympic hopefuls who were taken to the Olympic training center for specialized training and instruction.
Unfortunately, his Olymic dream never came to fruition though. Along with being a skilled wrestler, Eric was also an accomplished tailback in football, leading the state in rushing yards 3 consecutive years in a row with personal desires to wrestle and play football in college.
However, a cervical injury playing football would lead to a broken neck and a paralyzed left arm. Eric was told he would never compete in athletics again. Two weeks later, he returned to wrestling and won another national championship pinning everyone in his weight.
It would be only 6 months before tragedy struck again. Eric re-injured his neck and his left arm became paralyzed again. Doctors told him he would likely never get the use of his arm back. Defeated, Eric retired from all athletics and gave up on his Olympic dream.
The daily rituals which were taken for granted for so long i. Since athletics were out of the picture, Eric shifted his focus to his academics. The plan of attending college on a sports scholarship was gone. Another year passed with a paralyzed left arm. The blessing of an academic scholarship to Oklahoma State University replaced the athletic scholarship as well. Along with wrestling, when Eric was 12 he had begun studying Karate.
He continued his study of Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and Moo Do Kwon during college and after graduating college eventually achieving the black belt in Karate. Eric had moved to Houston, Texas after college to pursue an internship in international affairs with the Institute for International Education.
Full contact sports were still off limits according to the physicians. Driving 45 minutes to an hour in Houston traffic seemed a small price to pay to get to attend the boxing classes. One year into the Thai training, the instructor, Tim Mousel, found out that Eric used to wrestle.
