David "DP" Parkinson has spent 15+ years operating at the intersection of elite performance and systems development - coaching Olympic medalists and world champions while building, through Kagirinai Lab, the frameworks, education programs, and performance architectures that underpin that work.

A former Royal Marines Commando and international competitor, his career spans official performance roles with two Olympic teams, world title campaigns across WBC, RISE, and KLF, and the development of coaching systems now in use across multiple continents.

He works selectively with national teams, elite athletes, and organisations where the standard of preparation is non-negotiable - and where the coaching infrastructure needs to hold up at the same level as the athletes it produces.

The athlete looks sharp; until the moment it matters.

Most coaches recognise it: training-ground speed that disappears when timing shifts, cues blur, or pressure accumulates. It’s not a technique problem. It’s a training-environment problem - most systems aren’t built to expose decision delay under pressure.

PRPS (Professional Reactive Padwork System) is built to close that gap. Developed at world and Olympic level in elite combat sport, and now applied across multi-sport performance environments.

Internationally accredited and CEU-recognised.
