Trainer’s Profile

Darryl D’Amico is a Personal Trainer who believes fitness is important for people of all ages.

Darryl is a grandfather who says “age doesn’t matter when it comes to fitness”. Fitness has been a part of his life since he was a child, although “as a kid or a teenager I didn’t think about the ‘fitness’ side of it when I was playing on the high school football team or playing competitive hockey”.

Darryl took up martial arts in his early forties and now holds a Black Sash in modified wing chun and is a certified Full Jeet Kune Do instructor under original Bruce Lee student, Jerry Poteet of Los Angeles, California. He played in a men’s soccer league into his mid-forties, continues to play hockey during the season on a weekly basis, and teaches several martial arts classes every day.

Darryl is the owner of Ottawa Jeet Kune Do Martial Arts & Fitness where he teaches Jeet Kune Do, Commando Krav Maga, Women’s ‘Smartsafe’ Self-Protection, Kid’s Junior Jeet Kune Do, as well as running Sunrise BootCamp and now Fighting Fit BootCamp.
