Matt Purcell is on a mission to equip one million Australian students with the tools, skills, and confidence they need to speak up for themselves through Social Kung Fu - Australia-only Verbal Self Defence and Confidence Training.

He is an award-winning entrepreneur and the founder of Social Kung Fu, and has been in the trenches, mentoring and speaking to youth in hundreds of schools across Australia for over a decade.
