I wasn’t an athletic kid and only got into martial arts at age eleven because I lost a fight and didn’t want that feeling again.

​

It was at age 16, my sensei told me something that stuck for life:
“Dave, you need to get stronger”

So at sixteen I picked up weights for the first time… and never stopped learning.

​

I’ve travelled, lived, and trained around the world.
Karate, Kenpo, Wing Chun, Filipino Martial Arts.
Security work.
Kettlebells.
Strength & conditioning.
Anatomy in Motion.
Movement rehab.

And thousands of hours coaching people from the real world — not fitness models, not pro athletes, just humans trying to move without pain and live with confidence.

All of that shaped how I work today.

​

What I Do

​

I help people fix how they move, rebuild their strength, and stay out of pain long-term.

​

​

I’m not a physio.​

I’m not a standard PT.
I’m not here to collect sessions or count reps.

​​

​

What I do is help people understand how their body actually works, fix the root cause of their pain or limitations, and rebuild strength on top of clean movement.

​​

​

I use a simple, principle-based framework:​

​

Assess → Correct → Train → Support.

​​

​

I look at how your whole system moves — joints, gait, mechanics, breathing, habits, history.

Then I guide you through restoring what’s missing, building strength that actually transfers to life, and staying consistent long-term.

​

It’s practical.
It’s adaptable.
It’s grounded in experience, not hype.

​

​

​

​

My Philosophy

​

Attitude is everything.
And everything is trainable.

​

Most people don’t need another “programme.”
They need clarity, direction, and a coach who can explain the problem in plain English and guide them through fixing it properly.

​

That’s what I do.

​

Who I Work With

​

​

• People in pain

• People with recurring injuries

• People who feel stuck or limited

• People who want their confidence back

• People who prefer honesty over hype

• People who want long-term progress

If you’re willing to put in the work once you understand the path, we’ll get on well.

Freedom in Movement Coaching

​

​

This is the coaching framework built from everything I’ve learned across martial arts, strength, movement therapy, and behavioural coaching.

​

​

It’s not a method.
It’s not a style.
It’s a principle-based, adaptive approach that helps you move freely, feel strong, and trust your body again.

​​

​

Your first step is simple:
See how you move.​
