VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON TRAINING

 Da Lion King, Jimmy Nfor was born in the Kingdom of Binka, a village in the North West of Cameroon, Africa known as the Lion village. As a cub, Jimmy enjoyed outdoor activities, playing football (soccer), running hills and roaring through the Kingdom of Binka. 

In the early 1990’s, Da Lion King invaded Edmonton, Alberta, reuniting with his Mom and Dad. Within two weeks of being in Edmonton, Ryhs Bailey and David Hearn heard about a young soccer player from Cameroon. They immediately went to his family home and recruited Da Lion King to Homesteader Soccer Club. From that day, Alberta Soccer Association was introduced to the left food of Da Lion King. 

In the mid 2000’s, he attended NAIT through a soccer scholarship. Jimmy had a very successful run with the NAIT Ooks. He captured Rookie of the Year, MVP, All Canadian Team and was nominated for Athlete of the Year. 

Da Lion King continued to grind and made sure he never gave up on his passion – Fitness. He proved his dedication day in and day out when he was up at 3am to get his training sessions in before his 12-hour work days. 

Jimmy joined Arashi-Do Martial Arts in 2015 where he learned his background in Muay Thai/kickboxing. This combined with his athletic background helped develop his own unconventional style of training which he uses in his fitness program today. 

In 2016, Jimmy was honored with the title Prince Tashey Ngiri, by the Fon of Njirong and affirmed by HRH The Lion King of Binka. The newly named Prince accepted the title with high admiration and vowed to respect the tradition of the Kingdom of Binka and Wimbum Tribe. 

With his new title, Prince Tashey Ngiri was reborn and determined to follow his passion, changing lives both in Canada and in his village. Although he had been training people for many years, he formalized his education when he went back to school to complete his Personal Training certification. 

It was then that LION KINGDOM was born. 

Lion Kingdom introduces clients to a positive way of life. A place of non-judgement. A community for all to join and celebrate culture and life. A place for health and fitness, not only physically but mentally as well. 

Jimmy Nfor has dedicated his life to helping others achieve their goals with an organic program that incorporates mindfulness and fitness. 

Mindfulness takes discipline and motivation to survive the daily struggles faced each and every day in this cold jungle we live in.
