Alvin Aguilar is the first and only son of his father Arthur Aguilar and his mother Madeleine Aguilar. He has one sibling, Alexandrine Ann Aguilar. Growing up, Alvin was considered by his parents, teachers and peers as a very hyperactive child. He was very athletic so his parents were forced to keep him immersed in various extra-curricular activities just to keep him busy. At the early age of nine he began to show much interest in martial arts, an interest that both his parents supported all the way. His father would even drive him around as he explored different gyms and systems. He had an early exposure to Arnis through his father and later on he learned Shotokan Karate, and Greco-Roman Wrestling throughout the 80s. |
