Liam Resnekov

Multiple Times Eastern + National Games Judo Gold medalist
#1 Contender in the Xtreme Fighting Championships
Multiple Times State Grappling Challenge Champion
1st Place in Rio Sul Jiu Jitsu Competition
Abu Dhabi Australasia Championships Runner up.

Liam has lived and breathed martial arts since he was born. Like his brother Dylan, he grew up in a household where martial arts was a staple of existence. Both their parents owned a large karate school in which the brothers began their training. Put into judo at 7 years old, Liam’s intense training in the martial arts continued until he discovered the first Ultimate Fighting Championships in 1993.

He watched flabbergasted as the smallest competitor Royce Gracie defeated fighters from every style of martial arts, from kung fu, karate, judo, wrestling to shoot fighting, many of his opponent obviously on steroids. Ironically in the event helmed as a brutal blood sport with no rules, Royce did not hurt anybody, rather subduing them with joint locks and humane chokeholds.

From that day his journey into Brazilian Jiu Jiutsu began, eventually taking him to Brazil where after winning the Australian Championships he snagged gold at the Rio Sul Open quickly submitting his four Brazilian opponents. Realizing the need to supplement with other grappling arts, Liam sought out and trained regularly with Russian Sambo world medalists and Olympic wrestling competitors as well as continuing his training in Judo. His training has taken him to America, Europe, Canada, Thailand and Brazil.

His competitive background includes the multiple time Australian University Games Judo Gold medalist, state and national Brazilian Jiu Jitsu champion, the #1 Australian Submission Wrestler in the U65 Division in Abu Dhabi Championships 2005 where he submitted four opponents on the way to the finals. He has also established himself in the No Holds Barred Arena and is ranked as the #1 contender for the Xtreme Fighting Flyweight belt and is undefeated.

He is currently a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor under Professor Bruno Panno of Gracie Humaita, a direct lineage to Royler and Helio Gracie the father of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Bruno has been his professor for almost 8 years now. Liam feels that his value has not come just in technical gains, but also in how he lives Jiu Jitsu and passes it on to his students.

He believes there is no separation between a good martial artist and a good person, that they are synonymous. He also believes that martial arts are the ultimate vehicle for self improvement and are great not only for competitors but woman, children, men and people of all sizes shapes and abilities.

Dylan Resnekov

Current P.K.A World Muay Thai Champion
Current W.M.C NSW Muay Thai Champion
Current ISKA Australian Muay Thai Champion
NSW Grappling Challenge Gold Medalist
Undefeated in Muay Thai
I.O.G.K.F State and National Gold medalist.

Dylan grew up in a martial arts household. Unlike his brother who had a penchant for the grappling arts, Dylan preferred the striking arts and won the national Karate championships numerous times. Later on he discovered the beauty of the ancient art of 8 limbs, Muay Thai, Dylan began an intense training regime, traveling 15 times to Thailand to ensure he was receiving training from the best in the world. His tenacity and ability to absorb their teachings greatly impressed the world champions he received tutelage from. In 2008 he achieved his lifelong goal of becoming World Muay Thai Champion at the World Games in Cyprus. He owes his achievements to training smart, not just hard.

He is undefeated in Thailand, dispensing multiple Thai’s with hundreds of fights between them. He also actively competes in Australia and internationally. His hardest battle in Thailand however was not in the ring, but rather at the site of the 2005 tsunamis devastation. He dove headlong into search and rescue in the days following the disaster on Kho phi phi.

Dylan is a immense believer in the saying “If it is to be, its up to me.” And owes much to martial arts and continues to pass these lessons onto his athletes.

He is the Muay Thai instructor and Co-owner of the Northside Martial arts academy. He is also the current P.K.A World Champion, the World Muay Thai Council NSW champion as well as the ISKA Australian Title belt holder. One of his proudest moments was earning his Blue Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under his Proffesor Bruno Panno. Despite being a Muay thai world champion, his passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, although on the backburner, still keeps him working towards his ultimate goal....A Muay Thai World Champion and a BJJ blackbelt.
