Loyalty
Whoever works with me has me on their side. I pull with you, even when it gets tough, and I do not leave anyone standing halfway.

AboutOut of the neighbourhood. Through combat sports. Into biomechanics.
I am Tayfun Ertural. A coach for people who are serious, and someone who would rather tell you the truth than the comfortable version.
My road
I grew up in Ingolstadt, out of the neighbourhood. At nineteen I started fighting seriously, kickboxing and K1, for more than ten years. The ring forgives nothing. It taught me what discipline really means, what loyalty is worth, and that honesty is usually uncomfortable but always better.
At some point I wanted to understand why bodies hold or break. I worked my way into biomechanics, I have been running functional fitness classes since 2016 and coaching one to one for five years, and I collected certificates, even though on their own they prove nothing. The only proof that counts is more than fifty athletes I have guided back to performance.
And yes, on the way there I made almost every mistake myself. That is exactly why I can show you the shorter road today.
Not the coach who holds your hand. The one who tells you the truth.
No detour skipped
I had to get everything wrong so I can show you the fast way.
What I stand for
Three things you can rely on.
Discipline
Results do not come from talking. I hold the course and make sure you hold it too, on the days when it is easy and on the days when it is not.
Honesty
I tell you what is, not what you want to hear. That is less comfortable, but it is the only way that actually moves you forward.
How I work
Science-backed. Street-tested.
I combine what holds up in science with what holds up under real load. Biomechanics meets combat sports, theory meets the street. That is what my coaching looks like, whether we work on your pain or your performance.
That is why everyone starts in the same place with me: with a full assessment. A movement analysis from your feet to your shoulders, whether you come because of pain or because you want to get stronger. When we work in person, force plates come on top and make visible what the eye does not see. Only once I know how your body actually works do I write down a single exercise.
What is written here is a fraction. The rest I show you once we work together.
