= Victor Bull =

Born in southern Sweden, Victor started competing in karate at the age of 13. Between the age of 15 and 21, Victor won 12 gold medals at the Swedish National Karate Championships and competed in 27 different countries in only 4 years.

After sustaining multiple concussions, resulting in at the end of a successful martial arts career, Victor Bull became focused on studying brain injuries. Today he's a licensed physiotherapist, working with few of the biggest scientists in Sweden, trying to solve one big puzzle. To end the epidemic of concussions within the sport.

Sports career
After only 6 years of competing Victor had won 12 golds at the Swedish National Championships in Karate, 5 medals at the Nordic Karate Championships, as well as several medals at both the World and European Shotokan Karate Championships.

Injury
Due to too many blows to the head during his career and without enough caution, Victor had sustained a brain injury from having too many concussions while competing. In 2016 he had to quit training and competing and withdrawn from the Swedish national team. Today he is still recovering from his injury.

Brain expert
Today Victor is a licensed physiotherapist. During his medical studies, Victor became focused on studying and then later educating medical professionals on how to diagnose and treat traumatic brain injuries in sport. Victor is now part of the Medical Committee of the Swedish Karate Federation, trying to solve this problem. He now runs a Youtube channel, educating people about how to understand the complexity of concussions and how to treat them.

Memory athlete
Due to his injury, Victor started to suffer from daily memory loss. Because of this Victor found a way to train his brain with certain memory techniques. His memory teacher was then a Grand Master of Memory, Mattias Ribbing. These techniques very quickly compensated for his reduced memory capacity and made him able to study physiotherapy at Lund University. Victor also became interested in using his techniques in memory competitions, first introduced by the great Tony Buzan. After a few small competitions, Victor competed at the European Memory Championship in 2020, organised by Idriz Zogaj, and today officially has the 7th best memory in Europe after he was able to memorize 598 random digits inom only 30min. Other famous Swedish memory athletes are the Sweden´s got talent finalis Jonas von Essen among also Marwin Wallonius, Yanja Wintersoul and Martin Nilsson.

Memory instructor
Today Victor is, together with Mattias Ribbing, running an online course called Mind Academy 2.0. in how to use memory techniques in school, professions and daily life. Outside the online course Victor and Mattias are also lecturing in how to increase productivity and brain capacity.
