Paul Rothmann

Paul Rothmann has devoted himself to the Craft of the Warrior…

Like many young boys, he joined a local dojo and studied the Japanese martial art, karate.

During his training he was introduced to principles such as Discipline, Courage and Respect, which appealed to him on a very deep personal level,

He soon realised that the Warrior Arts encompassed far more than just physical fighting abilities.

This awareness was one of the pivotal moments in his life, when a mere sport, became his way of life… a way of life which he embraced with his entire being.

Thus he embarked on the Way of the Warrior

Paul has always sought to remain true to the greatest principle of WarriorCraft… the realisation that Life is fragile and sacred, and thus one should live with great passion.

Subsequently he has led a life filled with notable achievements:

• TV Presenter – SABC 2 Pasella since 1999
• Advocate of the High Court (B Com Law; LLB Degrees)
• African & World Heavyweight Thaiboxing Champion
• Cosmopolitan Magazine: SA’s Sexiest Man

Paul believes in an inherent power, ability and potential within each and every person…

Therefore he does not claim to teach, instruct or help…. he simply encourages and inspires individuals on their own unique paths as warriors and masters of their own destiny!
