At age 10 Alejandro was selected to join Mexico's National Taekwondo Team (FMTKD) and over the next few years received several gold medals across multiple national, international, Pan-American tournaments - ultimately leading him to the World Open in San Luis Potosí, where he won gold medal in the bantam weight class.
