Bellevision Media Network
Mangaluru, 16 Oct 2017: Judd Reid grew up in Australia training in martial arts since age 12. He is the first, and one of only two, foreigners to have completed 1000 days live-in student training (Uchi Deshi) under Kyokushin Karate founder Masutatsu ‘Mas’ Oyama in Japan, from 1990 to 1993. He had a great career in full contact martial arts and won the Australian heavyweight title in 2002. He won the WKO World Championship in Thailand in 2010. He is one of only 20 men in the world to finish the 100 man kumite (fought 100 men back to back), in Japan in 2011. This was chronicled in a great documentary the 100 Man Fight. He visited India this October to conduct martial arts seminars along with his student Vinayak Shetty. They worked together with Ground Sport Fitness to make this opportunity a real possibility and improve the level of fitness and fighting techniques of people in the city. Judd loved his time in Mangaluru and has a great appreciation for the people, food and culture. He calls Mangaluru a special and spiritual place and wants to visit again in the future.
Judd adds that Mangaluru with its beautiful beaches and parks is an ideal destination to nurture and build the ideology of fitness, and with the enormous talent present in the city, it shouldn’t be long until many more champions are made.
The event had a great turnout of more than 100 participants spread over 3 days. The event comprised two indoor sessions and one outdoor session at Thannirbavi beach.
This excellent opportunity for fitness enthusiasts in Mangaluru was hosted by Ground Sport Fitness, Mangaluru’s premier fitness destination and the first gym to introduce functional training and Muay Thai in the city.
