Michael Jerome Reece-Page (born 7 April 1987), better known as Michael "Venom" Page, is an English kickboxer, karateka, and welterweight mixed martial artist of Trinidadian and Jamaican descent. He is recognised in the MMA community for his unorthodox fighting style which originated from freestyle kickboxing (points fighting) and sport karate.
Page was born in St Mary's Hospital, London to Curtis Page Sr. and Pauline Reece who were both Lau Gar kung fu practitioners. His father hailed from Trinidad while his mother was from Jamaica. Page is a maternal nephew of Lau Gar Master Stan Brown who was also the instructor of his father. He has nine siblings, three of whom are adopted. Page attended Quintin Kynaston School in St John's Wood alongside Olympian judoka Ashley McKenzie. He grew up in NW8 near Edgware Road and Lisson Green before moving to W10 near Queen's Park in 2003.
His father Master Curtis Page Sr. – a three-time kickboxing world champion – was his instructor. Of his nine siblings, his sister Sefena and brothers Curtis Jr., Jamie, and Kalon are also kickboxing world champions. Since almost everyone in his family were involved in martial arts he felt it was natural to follow suit.
Page began training in Lau Gar at the age of 3 and competed at his first kickboxing tournament at the age of 5. By the age of 8, he began to devote himself to competition and entered his first international tournament in Germany.
