I have always had a keen interest in sports from a young age, but I found my calling in martial arts and started training in Karate aged 7. I consequently progressed in belt level and started participating in several other martial arts as time went on. I then began training in Mixed Martial Arts in my teenage years and a little later in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). As my proficiency increased, I began competing and testing myself against other athletes in an array of combat sports.

In later years, with friends and fellow combat athletes I helped to build a local MMA and BJJ school in which I currently do some coaching and train an array of PT clients. Furthermore, to better my knowledge of sports and fitness, I attained a BSc degree in Sports, Fitness and Coaching as well as several additional fitness qualifications!
