Who IS BEHIND

Morten Vinther — Founder of Path of Milo
Master in Sports Science & Health, MSc.
BJJ Black Belt

Morten wasn’t born an athlete. As a child, he struggled in PE, was often picked last for team sports, and although he showed promise in gymnastics, fear and a harsh teacher eventually led him to quit. His early story wasn’t about talent — it was about quiet frustration and a growing determination to change.

At 12, Morten found martial arts. His karate club had little money, few coaches, and many outdated ideas about training. He and his teammates often traveled alone to competitions, coaching each other out of necessity. At 18, Morten and a martial arts friend were assaulted by ten attackers — and luckily walked away mostly unharmed. That moment changed everything. It forced him to question his training: his martial skills, his physical preparedness, and the myths he’d been told — like how lifting weights would only make him slow, or how endless repetition would prepare him for real confrontation.

What followed became a lifelong pursuit: to build a strong, capable, resilient body. He began strength training and later traveled to Japan to live and train martial arts. Here he came upon Pride Championship on local TV.

Upon returning, he transitioned to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, No-Gi Wrestling, and Judo — eventually earning his black belt. Along the way, Morten also dove deep into Weightlifting, CrossFit, Gymnastic Strength Training, Parkour, Natural Movement, and Athletic Training practices, seeking not only power but fluidity, control, and connection with physicality.

Armed with a Master of Science in Sport & Health Studies, as well as studies in Nutrition Physiology and Sports Nutrition and a personal history of overcoming serious injuries, Morten has created Path of Milo — a system for practitiones who want to reclaim and build their strength & power, energy and confidence through physical practice guided by timeless training principles and Sports Science

The journey of strength long and is earned through hardship, perseverance, discipline and dedication.
