Conor is a purple belt and coach at Melbourne Grappling Academy.

After a background in soccer, he discovered Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2022. What started as a new hobby quickly turned into a big part of his life as both a competitor and coach.

Alongside his training, Conor works as a personal trainer and has spent the past two years coaching BJJ. Having started the sport relatively recently himself, he understands the challenges that come with learning something completely new and enjoys helping students build confidence from their first day on the mats.

Outside the gym, Conor is in his final year of studying Psychology and Exercise Science at Deakin University. He has a particular interest in skill acquisition and how people learn complex movements, with plans to continue further study in this area.

Whether he's coaching a kids class, helping a beginner through their first few classes, or preparing for competition, Conor brings plenty of energy and enthusiasm to the mats.
