| INFO | In the summer of '98, Matt happened to see Joe's nunchaku and asked if he could try it. And there, Fusion was born. After quickly realizing Matt's ability to pick up moves, he tried out a quick choreographed sequence. Over the next few months (and with some help from Joy, who also worked the camera), the sequence expanded and eventually, Joe vs. Matt: Round 1 was filmed. In that time, Joe was introduced to a gymnasium owner, and Fusion has been training at CalGym since then. The team has grown, and members have come and gone. Joe is the only founding member of the original trio that started Fusion and is the team's "captain." Most of the fights are conceived and choreographed by him, as well as the editing of the videos. He is also the designer of this site. ;) | |
