Taylor Benn, Lyfelinez Martial Arts ambassador

Taylor Benn

My name is Taylor Benn, I'm 15 years old and I'm from West Yorkshire. I'm a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner who loves to train, a very active competitor with big dreams. I've been training nearly 3 years out of Legacy MMA Kinsley under Professor Micky Lockey, with coaches Nathan Pickin and Chris Hill, and I also train with Matratz. I train 6 days a week, and on Sundays I do personals to up my game ready for competitions, working on wrestling, jiu-jitsu and S&C. My S&C coaches Alan and Kerry are legends who make me work hard for the right results.

Dexter Birrell, Lyfelinez Martial Arts ambassador

Dexter Birrell

Hi, my name is Dexter Birrell (BoomYaDexter) and I've trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since I was 4 years old. I train 5 days a week, 3 hours a day, and compete most weekends. I have national, European and world gold medals to my name, with hopefully a lot more to come. I train at 5 Elements Jiu Jitsu Ormskirk under Fernao Teixeira, and I'm extremely lucky to have been graded and taught by Royce Gracie himself near enough every year, as he's a close friend of our coach. I see jiu-jitsu as a big part of my future and it truly is a lifestyle.

Cammy Murphy, Lyfelinez Martial Arts ambassador

Cammy Murphy

I'm Cammy Murphy, a 20 year old aspiring MMA fighter and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner from Edinburgh. I've been training for 4 years, having tried various martial arts before finding my passion for MMA and jiu-jitsu. I'm a very active competitor, often competing 4 or 5 times a year. In my first year of competition I amassed over 20 competitions across jiu-jitsu, judo, kickboxing and an exhibition MMA fight. I train out of Fudog Martial Arts in Dunfermline, Fife, six days a week, and spend my rest day studying and developing my game.
