Early life

He was put up for adoption and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii by a Caucasian mother of Native American descent and Mexican-American father.

He went on to study Arashi-Ryu Karate, Taekwondo, Ninjutsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Northern Shaolin, and mastered forms of hip hop dancing and breakdancing. The surname "Storm" supposedly originated from a nickname and is related to one of the karate styles he trained in.
