ABOUT ME.

I’m Matt, a full-time Personal Trainer with more than a decade of experience helping people build strength, improve movement and achieve long-term results.

My jiu-jitsu journey began in 2015 during a trip to Thailand, when I accidentally found myself in an advanced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class. After getting thoroughly humbled and tapping more times than I could count, I was hooked.

Since then, I’ve spent years combining my professional background in strength training with my passion for jiu-jitsu, learning firsthand what works and what doesn’t when it comes to building strength that supports your time on the mats.

As a father of three, I also understand the realities of balancing training with work, family and everyday life. Most people don’t have unlimited time to train, recover and optimise every aspect of their performance.

That’s why my wife, Olivia, and I created Strength & Jiu-Jitsu.

Our goal is to help people train smarter, build strength consistently and enjoy jiu-jitsu for the long term through practical, structured programming that fits into real life.
