Youtube Video links

Youtube is a treasure trove of videos.  Some outstanding and some utterly pointless.  I have selected the following for different reasons but I hope you enjoy them.

Takedown MMA Live 1 Promo

The Promo vid from the first event I ever ran under the Takedown MMA Banner.  It was great fun and taught me a lot

Takedown MMA Clinic with Paul 'Semtex' Daley Interview

This is a short interview conducted with Paul 'Semtex' Daley just before he taught a seminar for me under the Takedown MMA Banner.  Really enjoyed meeting Paul and training with him.  Very down to earth and knowledgeable guy.  Was bowled over by how big he walked around when compared to the weight he fights at.  Exceptionally talented striker

Takedown MMA Grand Prix 2011 Promo 

My most ambitious event to date.  The national Takedown MMA 4 cage Grand Prix was held at the Manchester Velodrome.  Amazing experience and as a format worked brilliantly.  Lots of work but the standard of the fights and competitors made it worthwhile.

Takedown MMA Theme tune

Up and coming Manchester band A Poetic Yesterday kindly wrote me a song for Takedown MMA.  It was so great, we decided to record their music video for it during the interval for Takedown MMA 3 Live Tournament.  Having just had one of their music video's debuted on Kerrang, these guys are going to be massive one day, I guarantee it.  Love their album 

Takedown MMA Kids demonstration

Arts of Muay Thai by Por Pramuk Gym

The world renowned Por Pramuk Muay Thai Gym opens its doors to some of its teaching methods and drills in this excellent series of DVD's.  Starring Buakaw Por Pramuk, these video's are nothing short of amazing.  Buakaw is an unbelievably gifted Nak Muay and his coaches at Por Pramuk are some of the leading experts in Muay Thai.  This is the first in a long series of video's, most of which are now available to view for free on Youtube.  Take advantage and watch them all...

Stability ball skills

BJJ Maestros Andre Galvao and Leo Viera demonstrate a couple of nice stability ball drills for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu prior to showing off some tricks I am sure you will try when you are next at the gym in the presence of one of these innocuous pieces of equipment.  I would exercise caution though as you are just as likely to end up in A & E as you are to pulling these off first time...

Takedown MMA 'An Afternoon with Randy Couture Official Book Launch'

In December 2011, I had the pleasure of being asked to host an exclusive event with none of then UFC legend Randy 'The Natural' Couture.  As you would expect, I was very excited at the prospect of both meeting and working alongside such a great person.
