What I teach

Grappling

Deep but accessible workshops. We work on positions as problems: what is happening, why it works, and how to find your own answer.

Playfighting

Physical play for people with no martial arts background. Contact, awareness, laughter and honest connection — with clear rules and care.

Retreats & Festivals

Multi-day experiences mixing grappling, play, movement and nature. Built for communities, organizers and beautiful locations.

How I teach

People remember what they discover. So we build sessions where the problem is clear, the task is playful, and the answer has to be found — then sharpened with precise detail.

Understanding why: Before the how. If you know the problem, the technique makes sense.
Exploring through play: Play is not the warm-up. It is where most learning actually happens.
Constraints & tasks: Small rules that make the right skill show up by itself.
Movement first: Balance, pressure, timing and breathing — the things under every technique.
Technical detail when needed: Precise feedback at the exact moment it will land.
Your own solutions: You leave with answers you found, not a list you have to remember.

For grapplers

Beginners

Learn to feel positions instead of drowning in names. You'll leave able to train, not just imitate.

Hobbyists

Break plateaus. Understand why your game stalls in certain places and how to build around it.

Competitors

Sharper decisions under pressure, cleaner detail, and training design that transfers to the match.

Private coaching is available for individuals who want targeted feedback — video review, sparring analysis and a clear plan for the next months.

For curious movers

Playfighting is what most of us did as kids and then stopped: rolling around, pushing, escaping, laughing. No uniforms, no belts, no fighting experience needed.

You'll learn how to make contact with care, how to say yes and no with your body, and how to stay playful when things get intense. It's physical, social and surprisingly gentle — even when it's wild.

Workshops & retreats

I travel between Australia and Europe through the year and build formats around your people and your space — a two-hour taster, a weekend seminar, or a full retreat programme.

Grappling gyms & clubs — seminars and coach development
Festivals — playfight sessions for mixed, non-martial-arts crowds
Retreat centres & property owners — co-hosted multi-day programmes
Communities & groups — recurring classes while I'm in town

Thirteen years on the mats — and still mostly curious.

I'm 37 and I've been grappling for thirteen years, competing and coaching across Germany and Australia. For three years I owned and ran my own grappling studio in Australia.

Running a room full of very different bodies and personalities changed how I teach. Copying techniques got people to a point; understanding problems took them further.

These days I travel and teach a broader version of that work: grappling as deep expertise, play and movement as the door in — for people who'd never walk into a martial arts academy.
