Phil began his journey in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) under the watchful eye of Professor Carlos “Portugues” Vieira and the Cia Paulista Australia Team. Phil has won and placed in various State, National and International championships.

During his time training BJJ, Phil quickly realised that the fitness industry could benefit and needed something different and fun from the style of training he had become accustomed to whilst training in BJJ; so with this passion he began to study and completed his PT course.

After spending some time working in commercial gyms Phil felt his heart was where he originally began with BJJ and so with his experience he began to train and teach BJJ full time and also tailors programs using a style that is new and fun including exercises that challenge people of all levels of fitness.
