| Brian Jacks is the 1972 Olympic bronze medallist. On 28th June 2020 I was fortunate enough to talk to this great British Judo Champion who was an inspiration to many other Judo Players both from his wonderful Judo career and from his eminence in the TV show Superstars. Brian told me about how he went to Japan to learn Judo the hard way. From fighting in the Tokyo Olympics where he lost to the eventual winner of those games. Brian went on to win Bronze in the 1972 Munich Games. He has never been thrown for a full ippon in any tournament. He gave me an insight into the difference in lifestyle between UK and Thailand. Brian has very clear views how England has changed and his clarity of thought confirmed my own suspicions of the deep changes in British society. Respect is a fundamental flaw in a society where we once had respect for our elders and others in society. Brian certainly confirmed my own experience of teaching in UK schools. |
| BRIAN JACKS – the MINDSET OF A CHAMPION. It’s not about the techniques of judo or my journey to a certain level or place. It’s 600 pages and covers my life from the beginning until now. All the highs. All the lows. And all the bits in between. It’s a true detailed account of my life that might have you laughing and crying at the same time. The cost of my book, in hardback that I will personally sign, is 19.99 plus 6.00 for UK postage and packing. That makes 25.99. It will make a perfect Christmas present for children, parents, grandparents and aunties and uncles. If you would like to buy a copy you can only do so by sending an e-mail to me, brianjacks129@gmail. com. It will not be available in shops, or on Amazon, this year. So if you would like to read how I, in many people’s eyes, became the most influential person there has ever been in British judo, please drop me a line. Or ask me a question.
