Phil’s first sporting love was with football but a leg injury playing at the age of 17 years old forced him to seek out other ways to rehabilitate and strengthen himself as a result. This led him to start training in Martial Arts.

Although he opened his first full time Muay Thai gym in the UK in the early 1990’s, it is for his subsequent move to the US and opening of his New York City based gym in 1995, that he is most known for as a coach.
