Neil Adams - The Complete Judoka

[Daihlo]

Neil Adams was the first British male to win a World title, and the first British male to simultaneously hold a world title and a European title. Other achievements include a gold medal at the 1981 World Judo Championships in Maastricht, the Netherlands, plus silver medals in the 1980 and 1984 Summer Olympic Games and the 1983 Judo World Championships. Adams was also five-time European Champion. On 20 September 2008 he was promoted to 8th Dan at the age of 49.

'The Complete Judoka' is an in depth instruction series I produced with Neil a number of years ago, previously only sold via CageFilm (now closed)

I have managed to release the series now for FREE exclusive to www.martialarts.world
Each episode is an in depth lesson filmed in Belgium where Neil was teaching at the time.
You can view the entire series as it gets uploaded (about half there at time of writing this!) at

That's cool. I recall this series well, I still do tomoe nage and juji against the turtle the way I he shows it.

Geoff Thompson is a martial artist who lives in Coventry. He spent ten years working the doors, and knocked out well over one hundred people in fights. He specialised in striking arts like Karate, Boxing and Muay Thai.

He became friends with my instructor, Professor Rick Young, one of the first British martial artists to be graded to Black Belt in BJJ. Rick trained with Geoff at his dojo in Coventry,

"I hadn't done much ground work, but I was strong, fit and aggressive. I had won hundreds of fights on the doors. I figured I'd do OK rolling with Rick. I was wrong. He absolutely destroyed me. And the worst part was, he didn't even try hard. He hardly broke a sweat. Eventually, Rick must have felt sorry for me and left his arm hanging out so I could get an Arm Bar on him and salvage some pride.

I realised I had a huge hole in my fighting ability because I knew nothing about grappling. I asked Rick's advice, and he pointed out that Neil Adams lived only ten minutes away from my house".

Geoff would eventually earn a Black Belt in Judo, which he said was the hardest grading he had ever done in any martial art.

I had the pleasure (and pain!) of a few training sessions with Neil whilst filming this series, never found it so difficult to stay on my feet in my whole life!
