Paulie B joined EPiC nearly ten years ago, shortly after the organisation began running classes in South Wales.

He initially came to improve his fitness, lose weight, and manage long-standing back pain. Training under Andy and Matt, often in the Welsh rain, he quickly rediscovered his passion for combat sports, influenced by a childhood love of martial arts and early exposure to karate.

Paulie first became involved as a parent supporting his child, but soon stepped onto the mats himself. He developed into a dedicated student, progressing through gradings, competing regularly, and naturally beginning to support in classes and at competitions.

In 2025, Paulie officially joined the EPiC coaching team.

He now leads Little Dragons and Kids classes each week, as well as supporting Adult Kickboxing and Pad Fit sessions. Alongside his coaching, Paulie works full-time as a logistics Team Manager, bringing structure, energy, and a strong team mindset to everything he does at EPiC.
