Sports have been a part of Julien’s life since he was young and he’s been a state and national champion in a number of sports including soccer, swimming and wrestling. As an adult, he really found something he liked with MMA (he’s a brown belt) and Ju Jitzu (black belt equivalent in the no-gui category) and spent time traveling the world to learn from the best in the industry. That time spent with the best made him want to learn more about sport and movement so that he could coach others.
In 1993, he began his coaching career as a conditioning and grappling coach for the MMA gym where he trained and in 2008, he opened his own gym that focuses on strongman training (another sport at which he excelled) which allow him to train people with the movements and exercises he’s looking for. Julien’s brain is wired to see faulty patterns and visualize, in space, how people move. With his knack for diagnosing muscular & strength imbalances he has developed his own system to identify what issues are and fight root of the problem.
He now shares that knowledge with the Invictus coaching team and also works closely with Team Invictus athletes to make sure they are functioning to their highest potentials.
