Bio
Phil Pierce is a bestselling martial arts and fitness coach with over twenty years’ experience training and teaching around the globe in locations as diverse as China, Thailand, the USA and UK in a variety of fascinating styles; from Chinese Kickboxing (Sanda), Shaolin Kung Fu, TaeKwonDo, Thai Boxing and Escrima to more esoteric styles such as Xingyi and Chi Gong.
Along this journey, he has also been fortunate to have first-hand experience training with leading authorities including world champions, Chinese masters and stars of film and TV.
Today, he works to share his knowledge and help others learn more about martial arts, self-defense, fitness, and wellbeing.
The ability to be fit enough to escape a situation and smart enough to recognise a threat before it happens are arguably the two most valuable skills for ‘real’ self-defense.
The founders of Martial Arts weren’t gods or saints, but real, ordinary men and women. They worked with skill and instinct, but not magic.
