Welcome to
Personal Trainer Michael!
By viewing this website,
you are taking the first step
toward getting in shape and
achieving optimum health.
My goal is to
help you achieve health, success
and get the body you desire. I
have been a fitness trainer for
over 10 years and have created many
custom training programs to get
amazing results for my clients.
Some high profile
clients prefer to be trained in
the privacy of their home
gymnasiums.
Others prefer to work out in the fully equipped
private training studio "BODY
USA®" where I work from in Sherman Oaks.
I believe that a
client performs best in an
environment that feels
comfortable and safe. That is
why I give all of my clients the
freedom to choose their workout
location.

Martial Arts Bio:
At age nine, Michael
began to practice Judo under Jos Beunen. After a few years Michael started to
train with top judokas like Robert van de Walle and Ingrid Berghmans, Philip and
Johan Laats, and seven years later, Michael earned his Black Belt at age 16 and
became the youngest Black Belt ever in Belgium. (You must be 16 years of age to
earn a Black Belt Judo in Belgium). Michael was fully skilled at age 15, but had
to wait until he turned 16 to qualify for the exam.
A few years before he
received his Black Belt, Michael had won 100's of tournaments and became
National Champion Judo twice before he turned sixteen and still wearing his
Brown Belt.
Several years later, 1994
to be exact, Michael moved to Los Angeles, CA where he started to study Wing
Chun Kung Fu ( Bruce Lee’s fighting style ) in Encino and Granada Hills,
California under Master Sifu Joe Sayah, who studied directly under Grand Master
William Chung.
After Sifu Joe Sayah
moved back to Australia, Michael continued to practice Wing Chun under Sifu Alon
Peterson, who studied directly under Master Sifu Joe Sayah. Michael is currently
practicing Mixed Martial Arts which includes Judo, Wing Chun Kung Fu, Weapons,
Chi Sao, and Full Contact Sparring.
Michael is teaching Mixed
Martial Arts based on Judo and Wing Chun Kung Fu and teaches Self Defense
seminars to individuals, couples and groups.
