Combudo - A Discussion with Lee Hasdell

Send us a text Lee Hasdell is often known as "The Godfather of UK MMA" and for good reason. He discovered the burgeoning new limited rules fighting scene in Japan before the first UFC shook the martial arts world to its foundations. Already a successful nak muay and kickboxer who had fought internationally under some of the biggest pioneers of the sport and earning several titles at the time, he switched to MMA and began promoting the first incarnations of this new sport in the 1990s. He quickly became a controversial and revered figure. However, Lee's scope stretches far further than competing in, teaching and promoting professional combat sports. He has a deep respect for traditional martial arts, was one of the original reality revolutionaries on the self-protection circuit and a sophisticated cross-trainer who gathers insight from a range of disciplines outside of combative systems. On this episode Lee shares his insights into Combudo, an organisation and approach to martial arts, combat sports and self-protection he founded in 2000.  Combudo Website Combudo Facebook Page Music for this episode: 🔻"Ghostrifter Official - Resurgence" is under a Free To Use YouTube license    / @ghostrifterofficial  Music powered by BreakingCopyright:    • 🎥 [Copyright Free Trailer Music] - "R...  🔺 Music for the Outro:  "Titans" by Cold CinemaLink: https://bit.ly/3HjGhpV Support the show Support the show Support me on Patreon Buy "When Parents Aren't Around" Audiobook Clubb Chimera Website Clubb Chimera Martial Arts Facebook Group Clubb Chimera Facebook Page Clubb Chimera Twitter Clubb Chimera YouTube Clubb Chimera Instagram Jamie Clubb Books Learn more about your ad choices.
