Early Life
Ali Ibrahim Abdelaziz was born on December 5th, 1977 in Cairo, Egypt. He hails from a family with deep roots in martial arts. Many of his family members are Judo champions and Ali began training at the age of just 6 years old.
Because his family was unable to fund his training, his coach decided to train him for free. Ali took his training seriously so much so that at the age of 10 he won the Junior Nationals in Egypt.

Personal Life
According to an excerpt from the book Ali was serving a sentence in a Colorado jail when Law enforcement recruited him to supply information on the Muslims of America.
