JADE KERR
Jade is passionate about all things health and fitness and has been involved in sport her whole life – ranging from martial arts to netball and AFL.
After a knee reconstruction (netball-related), Jade joined a local MMA gym where she decided to take up boxing for rehabilitation and general fitness post-surgery, this is where she met Dinesh who was her boxing coach and formed a life-long friendship.
Being surrounded by positive and supportive people encouraged Jade to have a few amateur boxing fights, winning her first fight (coached by Dinesh) via TKO.
Her focus slowly shifted toward Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), achieving her purple belt at the end of 2019. Jade competed in local and interstate competitions as a white and blue belt and took to the international stage competing in IBJJF tournaments in Japan (silver medallist) and then in Florence, Italy (4 x gold medallist) as a blue belt.
Jade soon realised that being fit for competition came with a lot of injuries and general soreness and started yoga to help prevent and alleviate these challenges. Experiencing the benefits on the body (and later, the mind), Jade wanted to share this with others and completed her 200hr Yoga Teacher Training in Bali (with a Melbourne-based studio) and commenced teaching almost immediately upon return.
In addition to yoga, Jade has experience coaching functional training, boxing and BJJ, particularly kids classes and is humbled to have the opportunity to help shape the next generation of martial artists.
Jade and her husband welcomed a son in 2020 and since then she has taken a back seat on competitive training. She continues to find much joy sharing her experience with others whilst she re-commences her own journey and spends time with her family.
Jade is also close to finishing her Master of Social Work at The University of Melbourne. She is looking forward to helping inspire and empower people from all walks of life beyond their fitness journeys – focusing on health of the body and mind from a different perspective.
