He used to visit Thailand to cross train in Maui Thai so he could incorporate that into his Wing Chun teaching.<BR/>Then when the UFC and MMA in general became popular he started BJJ. It says a lot about the guy that he was prepared to start learning a new Martial Arts from scratch when he was already a very successful Wing Chun instructor with dozens of schools all over the country. Now he is also a Black belt in BJJ and has his own school under Mauricio Gomes. I’m pretty sure if he was 10 years younger we would have seen him in the Octagon by now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3835876299232101320.post-18867370645487883622009-04-01T12:22:00.000-07:002009-04-01T12:22:00.000-07:00The Mataleon gang have just had their patches made...The Mataleon gang have just had their patches made up, let me know when you come to E15 and I'll have a patch waiting for youBadshahhttp://badshah.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3835876299232101320.post-55479150154431599712009-03-31T16:07:00.000-07:002009-03-31T16:07:00.000-07:00Have heard really good things about Kevin, I went ...Have heard really good things about Kevin, I went to uni in portsmouth is am particularly keen to hit that club soon. There must be a rediculous amount of clubs in the US and brazil. But just read a story where a guy did a charity sponsored around the world trip using Twitter!. So anythings possible.

I can personally recommend Kevin Chan from Kamon, a top martial artist and BJJ black belt under Mauricio Gomes. Have also heard good things about Rick Young. Maybe sometime in the future you could do a US tour and maybe Brazil?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3835876299232101320.post-57313229270853779632009-03-30T08:55:00.000-07:002009-03-30T08:55:00.000-07:00Sounds awesome!
