  Michael was born in Belgium. He started out as a martial artist and became a Personal Trainer / Coach. Here is his story:

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 pursued a modeling and acting career. At the same time Michael started training people as a Personal Fitness Trainer. He is a Certified and Insured Personal Fitness Trainer, a Master Fitness Trainer with Fitness Diamond Organization, and a Professional Recognized Personal Trainer Member in good standing of IDEA Health & Fitness Association. He is also a consultant for Isagenix®. He has over 10 years of experience and he still takes several Continuing Education Courses every year. He has coached many actors, models and musicians to get in shape for their upcoming movie, photo shoot or album tour. He has trained athletes for their next competitions.

His goal is to help you achieve health, success and get the body you desire. He has been a fitness trainer for over 10 years and has created many custom training programs to get amazing results for his clients.

Some of Michael's 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 he works from in Sherman Oaks.

Michael believes that a client performs best in an environment that feels comfortable and safe. That is why he gives all of his clients the freedom to choose their workout location.

Michael is specialized in body fat weight loss and strengthening  your muscles, so if you want to lose weight and get in shape, try his 12 weeks weight loss program. Other specialties include SuperSlow® and Core Training.  He works on a personal level from your home or his personalized private gym. He also works with the Core X System™ as seen in Sports Illustrated Magazine.

What happened to his martial arts? Michael is currently practicing and teaching Mixed Martial Arts which includes Judo, Wing Chun Kung Fu ( Bruce Lee’s fighting style ), Weapons, Chi Sao, and Full Contact Sparring. He teaches Self Defense seminars to individuals, couples and groups.

When Michael moved to Los Angeles, he started to study Wing Chun Kung Fu 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.
