Coming from a huge family of 8 siblings, Dr. Sheik was always shy and an introverted kid. He gradually built strength and confidence with Silat where he accidentally discovered it with his group of friends at a mosque. His passion for Silat grew and it shapes his mindset to be discipline juggling 4 jobs while not compromising his daily trainings. As an athlete back then, having a good support system was difficult, what more not getting paid to train even if he's representing the country. Despite all odds stacking against him, it has never dampened his spirit to push to be the first Silat world champion for Singapore. In this episode, we talked more about his journey to becoming a world champion, how he develop a strong mindset, the importance of education, and more. Please enjoy!
