WE MAKE YOU HARDER TO KILL

Mark Brewer, the head coach, has competed at the highest level of combat sports. He is a five-time national Judo champion with a competitive international career spanning over a decade, representing New Zealand at the Commonwealth Games and the World Championships. The painful and preventable injuries that limited his achievement in pursuit of the Olympic podium are hard fought lessons that drive his desire to help other athletes achieve success within their arena. 

He now shares his knowledge as a fully qualified strength and conditioning coach. He has completed a bachelor of sport and exercise science and gained internationally distinguished qualifications with ASCA, EXOS, and Poliquin Group. His dedication extends to his role as a current honours research student at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), where he investigates the Talent Development Environment (TDE) and factors associated with the development of combat athletes towards international success.

The knowledge and experience gained in over 15 years as an athlete and coach have informed his strength and conditioning practises and the development of evidence-based resources and performance programmes to help athletes achieve success on the international stage. As a result, the inception of Fighters Performance provides a platform to 'champion the fighter', making resources, guidance, and support previously only available to those athletes who already had an Olympic medal or world title strap.
