Biography and career
James Phillips wurde am 11. 06. 1980 in Mannheim/Deutschland als Sohn einer deutschen Mutter und eines Afro-Amerikanischen Vaters geboren.
Bereits im jugendlichen Alter von 11 Jahren entdeckte er die Faszination des Kampfsports für sich. Die ersten vier Jahre trainierte er vor allem Karate, erweiterte aber das Training um weitere Kampfkunst-Arten wie Judo, JKD, Kali, Wing Tsung, Aikido und Kickboxen.
Im Alter von nur 17 Jahren entdeckte er zusätzlich die Kampfsportart “Muay Thai” für sich, in der er in den kommenden Jahren zahlreiche Siege feiern durfte. Während der Amateurlaufbahn wurde er im Jahr 2002 unter anderem auch Muay Thai Europameister.
Als sportbegeisterter Kämpfer komplettierte er seine Techniken noch mit klassischem Boxen (Schwergewicht) und holte sich auch hierfür zwei Meistertitel ab.
James kämpfte von 1999 – 2003 in der deutschen Nationalmannschaft.
Mit den Kenntnissen und sportlichen Fähigkeiten und Erfolgen wandte sich James auch den K1 – Kämpfen zu. Hier erlangte er zahlreiche weitere Meistertitel, unter anderem ist er aktuell der amtierende Weltmeister im K-1 – 86 Kg. Außerdem wurde er zwei mal Europmeister im Kickboxen.
Das hohe Engagement im Kampfsport und die unglaublichen Erfolge führten dazu, das James sein Wissen um die Techniken und sein Können so perfektionierte, dass er die von ihm praktizierten Kampfkünste weitergeben kann. Deshalb gründete er im Jahr 2010 das “Team Phillips Fight and Fitness” und bildet seither junge Nachwuchstalente aus. Seine ruhige und ausgeglichene Art und die besonders in der Kampfkunst notwendige, weise Überlegenheit zeichnen ihn im Umgang mit seinen Schülern in besonderem Maße aus.
James ist verheiratet und Vater von zwei Töchtern.
James Phillips was born in 1980 in Mannheim, of African American heritage. He started his martial arts training at the age of 13. He studied karate and kickboxing for 4 years before moving on to Muay Thai in 1997 with the Thai-Bombs Mannheim e.V. He also competed in amateur boxing.
He is married and father of two girls.
