Dolphins Health Precinct are privileged to have many different types of Members at different stages of their fitness journey.

Today we look at one such Member; Jozey James. Jozey competed in his first MMA fight last weekend and won in the under 80kg class. Jozey is in an elite category and attributes his wins to the following:

• Trained in Martial Arts since he was 4 (or since he could walk!)
• Judo, Taekwondo, Tora Bushido (Black Belt at 14 years), boxing and kickboxing.
• Trains out of Integrated Martial Arts Academy in Stafford – one of the best gyms in Australia.
• Jozey’s trainers are selected as the very best in their fields with Australia’s number 1 MMA trainer Dan Higgins heading the Mixed Martial Arts and MMA Champion Adrian “the hunter” Pang.

Jozey has won a couple of Kickboxing, Boxing and Thai Boxing fights over the years and has played Rugby League for 15 years (starting at Arana). He works at Eagle Farm mentoring apprenticeships / traineeships – making sure they have a balanced life and keeps them on track.

Jozey says he chose DHP because the facilities were impressive and they suited his training with the equipment and Aquatic Centre, he says he really feels comfortable at DHP because of how welcoming the staff are.

We wish Jozey well in his future MMA fight pursuits and are proud to have him as a Member of DHP.
