Tchicaya Missamou is a former child soldier from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He was recruited into the army at age 14 and served with them for 2 years, where he committed brutal acts of violence. Tchicaya was sent to his father in order to escape the life of a child soldier and,with the encouragement of his father, he joined the military. However, after his unit turned on him and burned down his home, he soon fled with his mother to America. While in America, he found work at a martial arts studio and was recruited into the US Marine Corps; he even served 6 months in Iraq.
