Phil began learning Tai Chi and traditional martial arts as a child, grasping the balance of “using softness to overcome hardness, stillness to control movement,” which later inspired his journey in combat sports. In his youth, he discovered kickboxing and was drawn to its direct, precise, and practical nature, leading him to study it systematically and eventually compete professionally. Years in the ring taught him that success depends not only on strength, but also on bodily coordination, technical detail, and tactical execution. After retiring from competition, he integrated the discipline of traditional martial arts, the insights from professional fighting, and modern training science into safe and effective programs for everyday people—helping them improve performance, prevent injury, and reach their goals. He believes that whether through “slow practice” or “fast strikes,” the essence lies in awareness and mastery of the body. With professional experience and supportive guidance, he walks with each member to find their own rhythm and achieve meaningful change through movement Qualification Highlights: • NASM certified professional personal trainer qualification • National Certified Fitness Coach (China) • 6th Generation Inheritor of Chen Style Yang Style Tai Chi • Manhuobao 2 (Xingsha Final) 67kg Champion, 2024 • UWF World Combat Elite Tournament 108th 65kg Champion, 2023 • Chiyou Kung Fu Championship (Kaili Station) 63kg Champion, 2023 • Boxing Storm (Huangmei Station) 60kg Champion, 2022 • Wu Lin Feng (Xinzheng Station) 63kg Champion, 2020 • 2019 Rise of Warriors (Yongchuan Station) 67kg Champion • 2019 Kunlun Fight City Hero (Bishan Station) 65kg Champion Strength comes from balance, change starts now.
