Early life[]

Bareman founded City Kickboxing with the former boxer Doug Viney in his local city Auckland, New Zealand in 2007.[4] Bareman and City Kickboxing made their names in 2018, with the successes of their fighters Israel Adesanya and Dan Hooker. After both Adesanya and Alexander Volkanovski claimed UFC championships in 2019, Bareman and City Kickboxing were named as the Coach of the Year and the Gym of the Year, respectively, by MMAJunkie.com.[5][6]
