About Phil Britten

Phil Britten was just a typical 22 year old young man on the verge of breaking into a professional AFL Football career when his life was ripped apart by a terrorist attack.

At 11.08pm October 12th, 2002, the young captain of the Kingsley Football Club was crossing the dance floor of the now infamous Sari Club in Kuta, Bali when terrorists detonated a van out the front carrying a massive 700kg of explosives.

His unbelievable escape from the Sari Club was just the start...

Since 2002, Phil's inspirational journey has seen him transform from a victim to a survivor to a community leader. He not only returned to football six months after the Bali bombing after receiving burns to 60% of his body, but has also worked hard to build multiple successful martial arts businesses, which are well known throughout the international martial arts industry. In 2013 Phil won a coveted WA Business News ‘40under40’ award in recognition as being one of WA’s top entrepreneurs. He was also awarded as a top four finalist for the awards highest accolade of ‘First Among Equals’. In 2012, Phil released his Autobiography  “Undefeated” to rave reviews and also achieved a bestseller status.  The book featured as ‘Book of the Month’ for many national book clubs and saw Phil participate in a significant media and publicity campaign following its release.

An Ambassador for the Telethon Adventurers, Phil strives to challenge himself both physically and mentally in the name of charity. In 2012 he completed the Kokoda trail and in 2013 he will climb Gran Paradiso; standing at over 4000m above sea level it is the highest peak in the Italian Alps.
