The dojo is a place where he can unleash the pain from his past. But, he never abandoned the therapeutic power of working out as his personal release.
As he matured and his physique developed, he made the conscious choice to turn bodybuilding into his profession. Initially, he used the gyms to channel the emotions that tormented him. 😕 In truth, Beast's troubled upbringing propelled him toward bodybuilding. In his eyes, women were selfish, party whores who could never get to the level he fought and struggled to achieve.
The only woman Beast ever knew was his mother, who was never a 'Lady' and never showed him the love and comfort he deserved as a child. 👿 Beast might have shot Kurtis down about finding love, but deep down he wondered if there was a woman out there he could respect and was as smart and ambitious as he was.
