Greg Francis, the architect behind FIT2FITE™, is a former member of the English and British Karate Squad (1986-1996) and is currently the Assistant National Coach for the English Karate Federation. 

At age 11, Greg started Karate with David “Ticky” Donovan OBE 8^th Dan, the record breaking British All Styles karate champion, Coach and Manager. His inspiration came from his brothers accomplishments in the competition aspects of the art.

Such is the pedigree of the Francis family reputation in the sport, with older brothers Joe and Phil, and sisters Agatha and Janice all National Karate Champions and members of the National Squad, it was only natural that Greg would follow in there footsteps. To date they are the only family worldwide to have represented their country in a particular sport. 

From this backdrop Greg emerged as a skilled exponent of the art with undiminished passion and unfettered commitment. Never complacent Greg qualified as a Fitness instructor in 1998 and embarked on a series of Karate seminars across the country..

With the explosion of martial arts based aerobics at the millennium Greg found that he was dissatisfied with the pace, application, safety and feel of a number of the popular systems. Consequently Greg forged his practical fighting experience with his passionate love and knowledge of music and FIT2FITE™ was born. This structured, developmental aerobic experience places emphasis on rhythmic fluidity, technique, strategic intensity and practicality; underpinned by the most uplifting soulful dance music.

Greg’s reputation in East London is legendary with weekly roadblock classes and now with the endorsement of the National Karate Coach Greg is putting the England Karate Squad through their paces with FIT2FITE™.

Greg’s mission statement is to roll out the FIT2FITE™ experience onto the national and international stage.
