He also wrote the following on Instagram:

This past Saturday we had an open spot in the women's match on our show, so my daughter jumped in last minute and had her debut match. Although she is not yet ready, she displayed some very positive attributes. She trains in London Ontario with Tyson Dux, when She returns from University hopefully I will have a chance to train her as well.
