Jamie Clubb's Podcast

My extended, re-written and re-recorded deep dive into and critical analysis of ground-fighting, submission grappling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu comes to a close. On this episode I look at recent criticism made against the original UFC and the Gracie influence. This episode also discusses criticism levelled against the claim that most fights end up on the ground. Finally, we review grappling and ground-fighting's place(s) in martial arts and self-defence.

Send us a text On this special Christmas and end of year/season episode of the show, we welcome back polymath mixed martial artist and sports therapist Rosi Sexton. Recorded during the summer of 2024 it provides a useful record of how confirmation bias work and critical thinking is lacking in martial arts and greater society. Following our in depth discussion, I talk about the continuing issues regarding manufactured outrage, including the supposed "War on Christmas", as well as reflections on some of this year's major Boxing bouts. All of this plus a reflection on CCMA's extremely busy year.

He is a teacher with a tremendous CV in both real-world application (military, professional and civilian) and martial arts training.

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.

Send us a text Unified Fighting Systems founder, AG Martial Arts Centre owner, therapist and author, Andy Gibney returns to the show asking the question: "Is Bruce Lee still relevant?" Bruce Lee is an undeniable icon - at least for the Baby Boomer and Generation X age groups. However, what is his position and influence today? How important is a discussion about him in the martial arts world or even in his own legacy of Jeet Kune Do?  Being a master instructor under original Bruce Lee student, Richard Bustillo, Andy provides an insightful and honest view on these subjects (along with several others).  Unified Fighting Systems Andy Gibney author website Andy Gibney books 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.

Send us a text Originally published as a vlog in 2021, this episode lays down my philosophical outlook on combative disciplines. I essentially see them to be three tribes that overlap far more than some would like to admit. On this show we look at the valid and invalid criticisms thrown against them from rival camps and outside. Finally, we take a look at the problem with "stylism".  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.

Send us a text Dr Rosi Sexton is a Mixed Martial Arts polymath. A grade 8 level pianist and grade 7 level cellist who performed at the Royal Albert Hall when she was just 17, she achieved a first at Trinity College Cambridge, a MsC and PhD at Manchester in Mathematics and Computer Science, but left it all behind to pursue a career in Octagon. Already possessing black belts in Taekwondo and traditional Jujutsu, she took up Mixed Martial Arts and became first British woman to fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. She retired from professional fighting having won two titles in two different divisions in Cage Warriors and BodogFight, and gainer her black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Today, in addition to becoming an excellent climber, Rosi continues to teach martial arts and self-protection, but her main career is sports therapy and osteopathy. I take full advantage of the latter of these skills on this show by moaning to her about my various ailments.  Olton Health and Performance Combat Sports Clinic Rosi Sexton LinkedIn Rosi Sexton's Blog Rosi Sexton on X Rosi Sexton on TalkSport   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.
