Performance has become an increasingly important part of Tyler's journey.
Creative forms, musical forms and weapons routines require more than technical martial arts ability.
They combine movement, choreography, timing, athleticism and audience awareness.
Those experiences are also beginning to connect with one of Tyler's ambitions outside competitive martial arts — working in the stunt industry.
Tyler is continuing to broaden his skills, including developing experience in high diving, as he explores where martial arts and performance could eventually take him.
