Brooke Cooper
Brooke started training at the age of 10, across the road from her Nan`s house, it was noted the hard time she was giving her Nan & the ADHD, attitude ridden grandchild was sent across the road to train with Michael in Reberger Dojo-Kaos under Bob Jones Zen Do Kai, they started offering Muay Thai when she was around 12, so began training in Thai also.
Muay Thai was a natural transition or addition to Zen Do Kai, so really it was more exciting than challenging. The real challenges began when she started competing, soon learning the consequences of dropping your guard, not being fit or conditioned enough, also making weight was new, finding the balance to stay on track.
Brooke trains out of Kaos Martial Arts under Michael Reberger.
Brooke decided to compete after her club entered the Muay Thai Nationals, to test her new found love.
Having 40 fights, for 28 wins & 9 via TKO, & a list of titles.
Junior Qld Championship Title
Aus K1 National Championship
Qld Featherweight Title (AM)
Qld Lightweight Title (AM)
Oceania championship Belt
Junior Lightweight Australian Title
Featherweight Oceanic Title
Pro Muay Thai World Title
Full Thai Lightweight World Title
Intercontinental Pro Lightweight Title
Also having 4 boxing fights, 3 wins & 2 titles.
Every time she gets in the ring it`s memorable & the minute that ceases to be the case is the minute she needs to stop. succeeding to win 2 world titles before she`s 20 years old, would be the highlight.
"If you`re not laughing, then you`re not living", with a funny moment being after going to compete on Shins of Steel, getting her leg chopped for 5 long rounds, it ballooned so much she could barely walk, not having a car, her coach pushed her in a shopping trolley, through Hungry Jacks drive through for a post fight dinner run late that night.
Brooke always walks out to Bob Marley - Buffalo Soldier, saying it keeps her calm, calculated & reminds her she`s a soldier ready to win the war.
Brooke certainly isn`t done fighting yet, her goal is to travel the world with her team, meeting awesome people & build life long connections. Opening her world & inspiring her in all the ways possible only through getting out of her comfort zone.
