Did You Know?: Alvin has a scar on his left eyebrow. When people ask how he got the scar he usually comes up with a wild story just to have fun, but in actuality, he ran into the edge of a wall headfirst chasing a balloon...he trains in a garage with his teammates under the guidance of their three coaches, Anh, Huy and Long Nguyen.
