Brendan Irving

Brendan grew up training in martial arts and dance before moving to Sydney to study at the Talent Development Project and NIDA. Alongside his career as an actor, singer and aerialist, a growing fascination with human movement led him into further study in fitness and movement coaching.

That curiosity eventually became The Movement Academy, which Brendan founded in 2015 as a space for people to explore strength, mobility and movement across disciplines including aerials, acrobatics, calisthenics and gymnastics.

At TMA, Brendan is a self-confessed movement nerd who loves breaking things down and helping students understand not just what to do, but why it works. His classes are full of ideas, progressions and plenty of encouragement, with a strong focus on helping people move better and discover what their bodies are capable of.
