Video Technique of the month - March 2013 - Prof Mike Fowler

Hey Guys!!

Long overdue video techniques of the month with non other than Prof Mike Fowler. It was an honour to finally get to meet him at the end of last year when he was in london for a photo shoot for Tatami Fightwear. Also present then was foot lock Tsar Dean Lister. Mike has always been someone I admired and had some video instructions he had previously made. He is certainly responsible for some of the techniques and concepts that form part of my game.

The photo shoot took place at London Fight Factory, which is the famous Checkmat gym run by my long time friend and fellow Ricardo Vieira Black belt Liz "Manxinha' Ribiero.


I want to say a big thank you to Prof Mike for being so giving with his knowledge and agreeing to show some techniques for my blog.
