#6 Neil Adams MBE - World Judo Champion

11/11/12 • 18 min

Recorded autumn 2011 - One of our greatest UK sportsmen; Judo World Champion, twice Olympic silver medallist, and a huge hero of mine, the awesome and gracious Neil Adams MBE.
This nearly didn't happen, for a number of reasons, but here it is - huge thanks to Niki Adams, and to Liz Cooper at the Ricoh Arena. PATIENCE + PERSISTENCE = WIN!
Previously available as a film made by me and Steve Reynolds for www.stuart-williams.com, and as audio on Kris Wilder's Martial Secrets Podcast, I wanted to archive it here too, for anyone who hasn't accessed it already. Challenging conditions and originally edited for visuals not audio, so a bit gritty sounding at times.
Episode dedicated to Louise Cox, Niki Adams and Stephen Reynolds.

#7 Neil Adams MBE & Niki Adams

Happily living back in the UK after a four year stretch coaching the Belgian Judo squad, Olympic Athletes Neil and Niki Adams spend time chatting easily about their lives and plans. How many titles, medals and championships between them? I can't even count that high - best go and look it up for yourself. An unashamed fan, I'm completely in love with them both.
