POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

25 years in the making. Built around one purpose: keeping fighters on the mat.

Every training session, every round, every fight matters. That’s why I look at the whole fighter and bring nine systems into focus to support performance and recovery.

Recover with purpose. Train with confidence.

What does the future of fighter performance and welfare look like?

We saw it in action this week at Vortex Performance Academy.

Working alongside @brainscopeinc @northern_grappling_co and @fighter9physio our athletes underwent a series of cutting-edge assessments designed to better understand performance, monitor impacts and improve duty of care.

✅ BrainScope EEG assessments ✅ Digital dental impressions ✅ Smart gum shields measuring linear and rotational head acceleration ✅ Strength and power testing

We were also joined by Olympic judoka @wjgreenidge1 , BKB Featherweight Champion @garyfoxbkfc.lufc GB MMA athletes and the exceptional team from Next Gen MMA Liverpool.

The biggest takeaway?

When sports science, healthcare and coaching come together, everybody wins. Better data. Better decisions. Better protection for athletes.

Different disciplines. One mission: helping athletes perform at their best while prioritising long-term welfare.

My role is simple: keep athletes performing and staying on the mat.

That means listening when something doesn’t feel right, treating what needs attention, and building a plan that supports training, recovery and a safe return after injury.

The work behind the scenes matters because every session on the mat matters.

You can train your strength, conditioning and technique but have you assessed your breathing?

Grappling can see you use breath holding or rapid breathing and a struggle to settle before the next exchange. Breathing plays a vital part in how you respond to effort and use the oxygen you take in.

That’s why I screen, assess and train performance breathing. Looking at your breathing pattern at rest, during movement and between efforts will identify what to work on in training and in competition.

DM to ask how a breathing assessment could support your performance on the mat.
