I wonder if he still does Judo ?

Great article - thanks!

Not sure if Brian still does judo. I think I saw him teaching (on youtube) with Danny Dacosta or Neil Adams at a recent seminar.

It's crazy that he's so relatively close to where I am. Might have to organise a club run to go visit him!

I know he taught a class at yoshin ryu in Coulsdon, Surrey a few months ago.
I couldn't go but I believe bigstu31 made it.

He is the President there:

Works fine for me.

Yes I made the seminar and blogged about it here http://stuartjudo.blogspot.ch/2012/06/brian-jacks-yoshin-ryu.html
As far as I know he doesn't do any Judo in Thailand and only steps on the mat when he is back in the UK.

Great article. Can see why he'd move to Thailand. Sounds great. I know a few folks there and they love it. Good for him, living life and looking forward to every sun-up.
