Noah Krepps, an Arkansas native, is a Champion Freestyle Bullfighter. Krepps was discovered in October 2016 and was immediately signed to 3-time World Champion, Evan Allard’s professional bullfighting team, TEAM HOOKIN A RANCH.

Allard explains the sport: “American Freestyle Bullfighting is the U.S.’s spin on the ancient sport of Spanish Matador Bullfighting, evolving the sport to showcase bullfighters and bulls as athletes. Stepping around a Mexican fighting bull, it is an art, a dance, of man & bull.”

“Freestyle Bullfighters are judged on their ability to engage with the bull and keep his attention while performing fluid moves such as fakes, capes, back steps, rounds, and tricks like jumps, backflips, and swan dives.”

Says, Evan, “I knew the first time I saw Noah at my clinic that he had ‘it’. Some people are naturally talented, and athletic or have the heart, try, & mental mindset to excel in this sport, and Noah has all of that!"

Evan continues, "Noah was young to the sport but I immediately saw the potential in him to become a world champion and leave his mark!  Since that day he has continued to prove to me that I made a wise choice by selecting him. Noah works hard, and trains with his parents (experts in functional and performance movement strategies).”

Says Noah, “It’s kind of hard to believe. It’s been amazing. I’m forever grateful to Evan Allard for jump starting my career and for his continuous guidance.  I have a great family, and community support, and I just want to make everyone proud. I know how blessed I am, and I will continue to work hard.”
