UNIVERSAL CITY, Texas — It's an easy assumption that Andres 'Andy' Garza IV is a product of his environment. His father, Andres Garza III, is a former MMA fighter who took his only son to work with him.
"The interest came from watching my father," Andy said. "And I knew it was something I wanted to do."
The 18-year-old Veterans Memorial High School wrestler started training in martial arts at four. His father and others noticed Andy showed an aptitude for martial arts.
