Combat Sports Clinic Podcast

Mike Younis is a MW/LHW MMA athlete, signed to CageWarriors and a CSC athlete. He's also a prominent social commentator on race matters. Rosi caught up with him to discuss the current BLM demonstrations and get his views and experiences of racism as a Black Muslim. Enthralling listening from start to finish.

Rosi and Dan run back their conversation from last year on the Raspberry Ape podcast, with an interesting chat about training and staying on top of the game in the light of Coronavirus.

Rosi catches up with Cagewarriors MMA contender Chris Miah for a fresh look at optimal training and conditioning approaches for combat sports athletes.

A few weeks ago Rosi managed to grab an hour with Matt Chapman - former pro MMA fighter (5-0) and owner of the wildly successful mittmaster.com, an online resource for all things striking and pad-feeding. Rosi and Matt touch on UK MMA history, the challenges and rewards of owning your own gym, and why learning via online resources is the way to go (as long as you're looking in the right places!)

In November's episode of the Combat Sports Clinic podcast Rosi is lucky enough to grab an hour with the legendary John Will, for a free-flowing conversation about BJJ, life, running a gym and everything in between.

This month Rosi talks to Dale Hardiman - a professional MMA competitor with a 9-3 record; a former Royal Marine and now a registered osteopath with his own practice in Luton UK. They discuss training and rehab approaches for the modern fighter, their shared experiences in the cage, and how "toughness" is a curious concept in MMA.

This month Rosi sits down with instructor Kevin Webb, 2nd Degree BJJ black belt under Mauricio Gomes. Rosi and Kevin talk about the evolution of BJJ and what drew them both to the art, how to effectively train and teach BJJ, and what the future of the sport might look like.
