I’ve been lucky enough to work with Bangsy both in whole team club tackling sessions as a junior and most recently as part of the Western Bulldogs AFLW program.

Bangsy’s ability to translate his knowledge from a Judo background to the skills of tackling and bodywork in AFL football is rare and extraordinary. He simplifies complex movements using simple trigger words that are easy to remember in game and have helped my tackling and bodywork immensely.

As well as being a specialist coach, Bangsy is an extremely relatable and supportive individual who is willing to go above and beyond to fast track your development.

Bangsy has provided me with the knowledge and skills I need to make tackling a weapon of my game, and his ongoing support with my bodywork have resulted in massive on field improvements. I feel more confident in my on field tackling and bodywork than ever before, largely thanks to Bangsy’s amazing coaching. I can’t wait to continue working with Bangsy to further refine my technique in the future.
