About

Cobus “The Viking” Visser is a globally recognized motivational speaker, firewalking instructor, and expert in peak performance and business scaling. Once confined to a wheelchair due to a rare blood disorder, Cobus defied every odd-climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, breaking arrows with his throat, and walking on fire, literally and figuratively.

His memoir, Walking Through Fire, chronicles this profound journey from physical limitation to global inspiration. Today, Cobus leads leaders, entrepreneurs, and teams to unleash their inner warrior, proving that when mindset meets purpose, impossible becomes inevitable.
