Patrick Boyle, Head Coach
I have been enthusiastic about fitness since my childhood. For holistic fitness I have gained many benefits from my practice of traditional martial arts. My study of Traditional Shaolin Kung Fu under Master Sifu Brett Russell (Xing Wu) has been extremely valuable. Master Sifu Russell is internationally respected as Australia’s leading teacher and practitioner of Shaolin Traditional Kung Fu.

In Japanese martial arts I specialised in Shidokan Karate. For my first Black Belt I was graded by Kancho Yoshiji Soeno, who was then President of the World Karate Association, Japan. My sporting career includes having played first grade squash and training at state squad level. I was also the captain and coach of the University of Western Australia’s squash club.

My qualifications include honours or postgraduate degrees in anthropology, education and psychology, and certificates in fitness leadership and personal training. I am also a Member of the Australian College of Educators.

Professionally, I have taught and held leadership roles in universities in Australia and overseas, and I continue to carry out consulting projects for a range of clients.

I am very happy to now be focusing more closely on helping people achieve their holistic fitness goals. Please contact me if you are interested in training with me at Bay Holistic Fitness.
