The Good Fight Gym

29/04/2026

The hardest fight isn’t in the ring. It is the one you have with your alarm clock at 5:00 AM.

When the temperature drops and the mornings go dark, the excuses get louder. You tell yourself you need the sleep, or that you will train later, but you know the truth. You are choosing comfort over capability.

The athletes in our 6AM class do not want to be out in the cold any more than you do. They show up because they refuse to let the weather dictate their discipline. They understand that reclaiming their physical edge requires doing the work when it is inconvenient. This is a professional-grade program built for people who demand more from themselves.

It is time to stop letting the seasons dictate your standards. Stop negotiating with your excuses and start building your comeback.

Message ‘6AM’ to secure your spot and start training like an athlete again.

If you’ve never been backstage at a fight… watch this.

Most people see the walkout.
The punches.
The result.

They don’t see the wrapping.
The quiet conversations.
The last adjustments.
The Mongkol placed on his head.
The calm before controlled violence.

This is where trust lives.
This is where responsibility sits heavy.

He steps into that cage alone.
But everything we’ve built walks in with him.

Behind every fighter is preparation, pressure, and belief.

This is my side of fight night.

I’ve been punched in the face in front of a crowd.
But hitting record on my phone? That’s the fight I almost always back out of.

I filmed this in two parts.
Not because of the lighting.
Not because I wanted it to be perfect.
Because I froze.

Wild, right?

I can take hits, bleed, and walk out smiling in front of hundreds.
But that little lens made me second-guess everything.

That’s when it hit me.

This is exactly how people feel when they walk into a fight gym for the first time.
Not physically unsafe.
But emotionally unready.
Like they don’t belong.
Like everyone’s watching.
Like they’re not good enough yet.

I felt that too.
Today.

So if you’re sitting in that fear — whether it’s stepping into the gym, stepping into a camera, or stepping into a new version of yourself…

Just know this:

The fear is the fight.
And showing up anyway?
That’s what The Good Fight is all about.

We went from an empty shed… to Parliament House.

What started as a simple space became a community.

That community created a mental health program that stood inside Parliament House in Canberra.
And reached the stages in Geelong.

This year, we didn’t just train.
We fought.

Fighters stepped into the ring.
Doors opened.
And one of our own earned the chance to represent Australia on the world stage.

This gym isn’t just about strength.
It’s about purpose.

Thank you to every coach, client, fighter, and supporter who helped build this.

2026 starts now.

🕯️ Strength in unity.
Compassion in action.

In moments that shake us, there’s a choice in how we respond.
Not with fear. Not with division. Not with noise.

But by coming together.
By looking after one another.
By choosing care when it would be easier to turn away.

Strength isn’t found in anger.
It’s found in unity.
In standing close.
In checking in.
In being present for the people around us.

Compassion doesn’t have to be loud.
Sometimes it’s a message.
A conversation.
A hand on a shoulder.
A reminder that no one is alone.

This is how we honour life.
This is how we move forward.
Together.

🤍

“This gym was built from loss, purpose, and brotherhood. Today that purpose stood on the lawns of Parliament House.”

My electorate leader visited the 2529 shoe display in Canberra. Every pair represented a man who did not make it home last year.

Seeing her there made me proud of our community. The Good Fight Gym was created to help men fight their hardest battles, and moments like this show that people are listening.

I pushed for her to be there because visibility matters.
Leadership matters.
Showing up matters.

And she showed up.

She stood on that lawn.
She tied a ribbon.
She honoured the men and the families behind every single shoe.

This gym has always been about more than fitness.
It has always been about purpose.
It has always been about standing for the men who feel like they have nothing left.

That purpose has grown into a mission called The Combat Mind.

If you want to follow the mental health work behind this gym, the stories, the movement, and the mission we are taking nationwide, follow .combat.mind

Your support helps this reach the men who need it most.

I’m flying to Canberra to speak about the deadliest pandemic in Australia. And it’s not a virus.

Today I travel down to Parliament House for one of the proudest moments of my life.

Tomorrow I’ll be speaking at the 2500 Shoes installation.
An event that represents every man we have lost across this country.
Every family changed forever.
Every story that deserved more time, including the mate who sparked this mission for me, Ethan.

What still blows my mind is where this journey actually started.
I wasn’t a kid learning to fight.
I was an adult trying to survive life the only way I knew how.
I walked into a gym with no skills, no confidence and no direction, and fighting became the doorway that changed everything.
It gave me discipline.
It gave me purpose.
It gave me a reason to live differently.

And somehow that path led from Crestmead to here.
To standing on the lawns of Parliament speaking about the pandemic Australia keeps ignoring.

We are living through a men’s mental health pandemic.
A silent one.
A devastating one.
A pandemic taking our fathers, brothers, sons and mates at a rate we cannot overlook any longer.

I’m not going to Canberra as a politician.
I’m going as that bloke who learned to fight later in life because he needed something to hold on to.
I’m going as the man who built The Combat Mind out of his own shed in Morningside.
A shed that became The Good Fight Gym.
A space where men come to breathe, move, connect and not feel alone.
A brotherhood built in honour of men like Ethan.

Travelling to Canberra is not a career milestone.
It is a responsibility.
To stand for the men who never felt heard.
To honour the families who carry the weight.
To speak for the men who are not here to speak for themselves.

I’m proud.
I’m grateful.
I’m ready.

From Crestmead to Morningside.
From my shed to Parliament House.
From learning to fight to teaching men to live.
This is the fight worth travelling for.

As a society we medicated stress.
But we forgot movement was the first medicine.

Stress isn’t removed by avoiding life.
It’s released by moving through it.

Not every man needs to sit and talk first.
Many need to sweat, breathe, and feel safe to be human again.

Movement clears the mind.
Brotherhood strengthens the heart.
Discipline anchors the soul.

If life feels heavy, don’t numb it.
Come move through it.
