BIO:

After being a former elite level boxer having competed since 2006 I decided to step into boxing in a coaching capacity, thus RTC was born.

I have boxed at state, national, & international level. I have spent time abroad training, and competed in Cuba with both the junior & senior national team. I have also been fortunate enough to work with some renowned coaches within Australia and abroad, including previously working as a Boxing Australia regional development coach, and currently working on the board of Boxing WA.

Since then I have guided many boxers from as young as 11 years old through the same boxing pathway, and this has produced good results. I am actively invested in the development of boxing here in WA, and this starts right here at RTC.

BIO:

Shortly after migrating to Australia I walked into Ringfit as a complete beginner to learn to box and compete.  I was told to show commitment, turn up every day, and trust the process. A year later I had my first fight and 7 years later I’ve never looked back. I love nothing more than to be in the gym on the grind pushing to always want to be better and where the limits are.

I started coaching after being sidelined due to injury, and this has given me a new perspective on boxing. I love learning and helping others improve.

BIO:

I started boxing to get my fitness up for an upcoming soccer season. I started at another gym where I was there for a year and realized I enjoyed the sport, I wanted to develop into an elite level boxer and that’s when I started looking for other gyms to progress me forward.

Nearing the end of 2019 I found Ringfit, I wasn’t the fittest, strongest or smartest but I showed up everyday and gave each day everything I could. Fast forward 4 years I’m now fighting at elite level and pursuing my dreams of representing Australia in the Olympics and Commonwealth Games.

I owe it all to myself, my family and Coach Dan. Plus my team at Ringfit that push me everyday. I’m an Ethiopian who was born in a refugee camp in Sudan, fighting in Australia to become one of the best. If I can do it what’s stopping you?

- Coach

- Fitness Instructor

BIO:

My coaching journey started at RingFit about 18 months ago when my love for high-intensity interval training (HIIT), strength, and functional fitness, led me to complete a qualification in fitness.

I’ve always had a passion for physical health and mental well-being, and after years of training in gyms and taking part in many circuit and group fitness sessions, I decided I wanted to learn and understand the theory and practical skills needed to help myself and others achieve their goals, ensuring good technique.

Whether it’s at the gym or in my full-time role in the Community Service Sector, I strive to provide a safe environment where people feel supported, empowered, and able to push past their comfort zone with fun and engaging classes.

BIO:

I started boxing from the age of 8, and began fighting at state level from 13 and at a national level from 15.  

After becoming an electrician and getting into the mining industry I continued to train, study, and broaden my fitness knowledge as well as training different martial arts styles (kick boxing and MMA) and S&C. 

I love the challenge of developing programs, and circuits that will be challenging for all skill and fitness levels and helping people find a healthier lifestyle for themselves.

BIO:

I started combat sports at 14 years old. Like most teenage boys growing up in working class suburbs of Manchester in the 80’s I was always getting into some sort of mischief. My dad decided I needed to focus my energy more constructively and took me to an old school boxing gym in the backstreets of Salford, and from that moment I was hooked and never looked back.

I boxed from 14 to 21 years of age and had 21 competitive fights. Whilst Boxing I graduated with a BSc in Sports and Exercise Science from Middlesex University.

Being of American decent I moved to the United States and became a Navy Seal for 8 years based out of Scottsdale, Arizona. During my time in the Special forces, I was introduced to Ju-jitsu and Grappling which I have been fortunate enough to practice and teach for 20 years. After the forces I moved to Santa Monica for 3 years and trained at 10th Planet under the guidance of Eddie Bravo and was lucky enough to train with some of the top UFC fighters and grapplers in the world before moving to American Top Team in California for 2 years where I assisted as grappling coach.

My passion for striking, grappling and sports-based nutrition gravitated me more to the mixed martial arts world and what the disciplines can bring to a competitive environment.

I have competed globally in grappling submission tournaments and qualified and competed twice at the No-Gi grappling worlds. I continue to compete to this day and my personal focus is qualifying for the worlds again in 2024.

For my clients I focus my attention and the experience I have gained on individuals wanting to achieve their fitness goals, whether that is a first timer to fitness, a weekend warrior through to a competitive athlete. I combine my 20+ years of experience to tailor programs to suit any individual. I believe no matter what age you can always better yourself through healthy living and exercise.

BIO:

I was first introduced to boxing back in 2014 by a friend of mine who I played soccer with. As soon as I stepped into the gym, I fell in love with the sport instantly. Boxing has created many great opportunities for me, and it’s taught me some valuable principles I use in my everyday life today, such as time management, nutrition and, most importantly, discipline. 

I had my first fight at 18, which was considered a bit of a late start in boxing. However, due to my hard work and dedication, I achieved many more goals than expected. To date, I have had 98 fights and have fought some of the best Elite boxers in Australia and travelled all around the country. 

I love coaching and helping the next generation improve their boxing skills, and I also enjoy sharing some of the life skills I’ve learnt from the sport. RTC is an excellent facility with a great community. My motto is Believe, and you will achieve. For someone that started boxing late, I was able to accomplish a lot by believing in myself.
