Geelong kickboxing champion Chris Bradford is set to pack a punch in a free online seminar with a message to fight through the COVID-19 pandemic:

“No matter how much life beats you down and strikes you in ways you weren’t expecting, we all have the resilience and ability to pick ourselves back up.”

The multi-time Australian and international champion in kickboxing and Muay Thai began competing as a youth to “chase discipline”, he told the Independent.

“I was a very angry and violent kid due to my own troubles with a broken family,” he said.

“My professional career has taught me not only to channel that but how to be a better human being.

“With perseverance and endurance, there is nothing that we can’t overcome.”

Bradford will speak in GenU’s Training Future Expo, which runs August 25-26.

He joins former AFL footballer Dayne Beams, ‘Streets Barber’ Nasir Sobhin and ICAN Network founder and autism advocate Chris Varney in the seminar.
