Storm was born Juan Ricardo Ojeda, the son of a Puerto Rican mother and African-American father in
Fort Wayne, Indiana. He was put up for adoption and raised in
Honolulu,
Hawaii by a Caucasian mother of Native American descent and Mexican-American father. As a child, his adoptive mother wanted to keep him occupied, so he took up dancing and martial arts as a way to balance himself. 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. ==Career==
