What's martial arts got to do with confidence? In this episode of The Emil Barna Podcast, Damien Chaurémootoo delves deeply into his roots as a martial artist, beginning with his childhood in Mauritius and migration to Australia. He talks about coaching young kids and adults into becoming more confident human beings through his unique approach to the martial arts, bullying, mental health, and discipline.
Damien's name is engraved on a commemorative plaque in the province of
Henan, China—a plaque erected on the occasion of the great return of Wing Chun to the Shaolin Temple that also bears the names of Robert Downey Jr. and William Cheung, Grand Master of the traditional Wing Chun and direct disciple of the legendary Ip Man. It was under the tutelage of Grand Master William Cheung that Damien perfected his mastery of Wing Chun Kung-Fu and became an instructor. Damien’s passion for martial arts began after watching movies featuring Bruce Lee, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal. He's since honed his skills in Wing Chun Kung-Fu, aikido, kickboxing, combat training, fear management, and motivational speaking.
Damien Chauremootoo worked as an Operations Manager and Chief Instructor at the global HQ of the Global Traditional Wing Chun Kung-Fu Association in Melbourne, Australia. He's trained alongside and formed partnerships with people such as Grand Master William Cheung, Shihan Hiroo Mochizuki, Sam Greco, Master Joe Sayah, Master Eric Oram, Scott Adkins, Jean Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal, Michael Jai White, George St-Pierre, and many more.
Co-founder of Empower Tactical, Damien shares his martial arts knowledge with civilians to teach them practical skills and awareness. He's worked with doctors, police officers, security guards, school groups, and young kids.
