He practiced amateur wrestling, participated in a national tournament in which he ended in second place defeated by Toshiaki Kawada. Tried to enter in the New Japan Pro Wrestling Dojo, but he was rejected due to his light weight and size. Nevertheless, he traved to Mexico in hopes to begin his training there. No one in Arena Mexico wanted to train him, because he was considered too young and light weight. In a good gesture, Rafael Salamanca and El Halcón decided to train him.
