An avid fan of water sports, Najafi loves to surf and paddle board, which he mastered thanks to a childhood spent in the coastal town of Bournemouth. Martial arts are another passion of Najafi’s, particularly the martial art Capoeira, which hails from Afro-Brazilian culture and combines dance, acrobatics and music with elements of traditional martial arts.
