ABOUT
Hi, I’m Gordon Burcham, an award-winning martial arts expert, serial entrepreneur, and a passionate empowerment coach.
Early struggles and TRIUMPHS
I am Gordon Burcham, a renowned empowerment coach and martial arts master. For over two decades, I've been using the principles of martial arts to guide personal development, transforming my early adversities into a powerful narrative of overcoming and growth. My journey begins in my teenage years, a time marked by bullying and crippling self-doubt. It was during this period that martial arts provided the framework to combat my fears and rebuild my confidence, a transformation that was more about conquering inner conflicts than learning to fight.
Achieving mastery came later in life; at 35, I won my first world title in martial arts. This victory was significant not so much for the external accolade but as a triumph over my biggest adversary—myself. This milestone marked the beginning of my commitment to helping others discover their internal strength and capabilities. My journey inspires others to unlock their fullest potential, demonstrating how early struggles can evolve into profound triumphs.
Philosophy of Extreme OWNERSHIP
Central to my teachings is the philosophy of "Extreme Ownership," which emphasises the importance of taking full responsibility for one's life and actions. This principle is a cornerstone in both my personal development seminars and martial arts training sessions. I am also the author of "Live Life Happy," a book inspired by the profound lessons from my father and my own experiences. It encapsulates my philosophy of living in the moment, appreciating life as it is, and finding happiness from within.
Beyond personal development, I've pioneered the concept of Martial Arts Business Mastery, where I apply martial arts principles to business management and entrepreneurship. My approach disrupts traditional business coaching, emphasising practical experience and intuitive understanding over theoretical knowledge. This integration of martial arts philosophy into business practices offers a unique perspective on leadership and personal accountability.

Vision for the
FUTURE
My core value is helping others, a commitment that extends beyond the dojo or seminar room. I aim to impact lives daily, whether through coaching, speaking engagements, or simply by being a positive influence to those around me. Looking ahead, I am focused on expanding my reach, planning to launch empowering events and develop coaching programs that certify others in my methods.
My ultimate goal is not just to teach techniques but to inspire a fundamental shift in how individuals perceive and react to challenges in their lives. As a voice in personal development and martial arts, I continue to encourage everyone I meet to embrace their inner genius, take command of their life story, and pursue happiness with relentless passion.
