The Creation Of Kinisi Flow® 

Michael has always had an interest in non-traditional forms of exercise and movement. His background spans martial arts, bodyweight, and flexibility training, disciplines that shaped his understanding of strength, resilience, and recovery.

After taking up martial arts in the 90s, Michael competed at a high level in amateur Kickboxing and Taekwondo, earning multiple prestigious championship titles. However, years of competition eventually took their toll, leading to serious injuries, the most significant being an ACL tear to his right knee. Multiple surgeries followed, but the damage forced him to retire from competing.

It was during this period of recovery and reflection that Michael realised many of his injuries were rooted in imbalances caused by a lack of functional mobility and flexibility in his training.

Drawing on his deep knowledge of bodyweight training and passion for movement, he began developing his own system, one that would not only rehab the body, but also prehab it. His goal was simple: to create a way of training that built strength, mobility, and freedom of movement, while reducing pain and risk of injury.
As Michael puts it, he wanted to “human better.”

This process led to the creation of Kinisi Flow® in 2011 - a method built from recovery, designed to move the body intelligently, and adaptable for every level.

Motivated by his own transformation, Michael began teaching Kinisi Flow® in the community. The classes quickly grew a loyal following, as participants experienced both physical and mental results far beyond their expectations. The energy, structure, and flow of the sessions created something truly unique - a system that redefined how people moved and felt in their bodies.

After many invitations to teach at fitness shows and events around the world, Michael and Natalie realised they had created more than just a class, they had built a movement system that professionals and participants alike wanted to be part of.

Together, they refined the method to support both physical recovery and long-term growth, blending strength, flexibility, and mindfulness into one intelligent framework.

Kinisi Flow® was born from experience, recovery, and evolution and it continues to move people differently to this day.
