Phil Collen is a Hackney, London native who has been the rhythm guitarist for the rock band Def Lepard since 1982. With Collen's help, the band has released several hit singles over the years including 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' and 'Love Bites.'

Though he's now 62, Collen is sporting a physique that most twenty-somethings would envy. This is do in part to his martial arts training. The 80s rock icon currently holds a black belt in Kenpo Karate, a discipline he has practiced for several years now.

He also trains in traditional Muay Thai, a martial art commonly utilized by several past and present UFC world champions. Collen utilizes a workout regiment known as Physical Mechanics, which combines diet, weight training, and a good bit of Muay Thai.

Given his martial arts background and physique, Phill Collen is a 60-something to be reckoned with, to say the least.
