The Body Remembers What the Mind Forgets

Is it good luck or bad luck that my body’s been broken and rebuilt more times than I can count? That I’ve chased strength, endured pain—and now face a knee replacement?

I started out hungry for power—martial arts, heavy weights, ego driving every punch, kick, and rep. But eventually, I got bored. The grind lost its meaning.

Pilates felt too sterile. Yoga became my sanctuary. I trained hard, earned senior teacher status—but still craved intensity. So I created JUMPGA: yoga fused with rebounding—a breathless, dynamic blend.

Then came the crash. A motorcycle accident so severe that, when the driver was taken to court, roadside witnesses testified they thought I was dead. Hip surgery followed. Even yoga became too much. My body wasn’t finished—but it was finished with punishment. I needed movement that didn’t betray me.

I’d done it all—weights, Pilates, yoga, rebounding—but none of it fit anymore. So I stopped following trends and started listening to my body:
Work with me, not against me.

That’s how KunAqua was born—not from ambition, but necessity. A water-based system shaped by injury, refined by need.

It’s not just training. It’s wisdom in motion—changing how you move, feel, look, sound, and connect.

I’ve lived through surgeries, setbacks, reinventions. And what I’ve learned is this: longevity isn’t about grinding harder. It’s about moving with intellect, awareness, and true embodiment.

One woman I trained walked again—without sticks. Athletes use KunAqua to recover. Everyday people use it to reclaim their bodies.

Because KunAqua doesn’t just train you—
it re-embodies you.

No pretence. No shortcuts. Just a man who’s lived it, broken it, and rebuilt himself—
so you can move forward, unbroken.

A MIDLIFE G0-TO PROGRAM

KUNAQUA WAS USED to train a world champion and is featured at one of the world’s top resorts. It is a life-changing practice that transforms bodies into internal powerhouses. Every movement in the water burns more calories than equivalent exercises on land.

Overhaul Your Body

MIDLIFE HEALTH HAS become a hot topic, but for me, it’s a chapter I’ve successfully navigated. I’m living proof of the purpose and vitality that lie beyond. There’s no magic supplement—not even Ozempic.

Metabolic changes, like decreased oestrogen and testosterone, are part of ageing, but they can be slowed. Weight gain and expanding waistlines often result from inactivity and unhealthy habits. Lasting change starts with less talk—and more action.

Testimonials

I trained with Wayne after my sessions at Chelsea, which raised a few eyebrows in the changing room when some of my teammates found out. I improved my power, speed, strength, and focus with him. Before each workout, we discussed areas of my life that might be causing stress. This process released tension and cleared my mind, allowing me to focus entirely on the training. The results spoke for themselves, and the Chelsea coaching staff was amazed. Wayne’s training has that edge.

Before meeting Wayne, I struggled with intense pain and limited mobility following a hip replacement and subsequent complications, including multiple surgeries and a staphylococcus infection. He introduced me to his KunAqua training, and with consistent sessions, my progress was so remarkable that my consultant was astounded when I returned walking unaided—without a walking stick. KunAqua has not only restored my mobility but also renewed my vitality. It truly transformed my life.

When I won the IBF World Middleweight crown in Atlantic City, it culminated years of hard work. Yet, leading up to the fight, persistent injuries nearly forced me to retire. Then, I met Wayne Lèal, who introduced me to a new way of training—something I would never have considered if not for the injuries I was carrying. To cut a long story short, KunAqua training was a game-changer. It was what differentiated winning and losing that world title fight.
