Read his book a few years back. Very well written about a really interesting guy… recommended.
This bloke was also one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time!
I was waiting for a video on Geoff Thompson, I read his book Watch My Back years ago, he was the first person that I remember talking about the fear and adrenal response and how he learnt to control it. Really liked his style of writing as well. Very intelligent and capable man.
Cool, got his book. Is good.
Weird question :
Are you the dude from BBTV , boxing channel on youtube?
You sound well like the dude who interviews.

"PEACE ✌ N REDEMPTION" phrase of the day.🔔🎙🔈📲
Geoff Thompson legend
Try to read some of his books he is a highly intelligent man and a great writer
Facasanating never heard of him good video
I remember going to a club in Coventry back in the 90's. It was crazy. I think it was called The Pink Parrot
Both the hardest and gentlest man in the world.
That's some going.
His books and instructional videos were brilliant. He kicked off the whole "reality self defence" thing with the Fence concept/3 second fighter.
He turned away from violence to become a successful writer. Great video.
Nicely done 🙌 one of my favourite books that I’ve read multiple times years ago as a teenager.
I've used Mr Thompson's techniques in many encounters over the years and can truly say he has saved my life, I will always be grateful for him teaching me how to control my fear, take control of a situation and act when action is necessary, many thanks to him
Spencer Jones was the biggest and toughest man to come out of Coventry!
This is a G@y channel 😂
Love the channel, can you possibly do a piece on hard men from Wales please ?
Seen bits on Malcom Price but apart from him I haven't seen a lot of content. Many thanks …
Great video . Geoffs books are great . Some a bit out there but all are enjoyable . Can you do a video on irish hard men .thank you
Great video, really enjoying some of your most recent stuff. Especially the martial arts guys, you are probably aware but a few to look into would be Steve Morris and Trevor Roberts. 👍🏻
geoffs knowledge has changed my life for the better! ❤
Oh wow what a true tough man with a black belt
Why would anyone want to glorify some Neanderthal bouncer!
Trained with Geoff back in the late 90s what an incredible humble man
He has also become a mentor to my brother in his quest to become a therapist which he has successfully become
He thinks the world of Geoff
What a giant of a man absolute gentleman
Odd that John looks black then and Caucasian now 🧐
I worked with Awesome Anderson for a short period, very pleasant man. Nothing bad to say about him.
One of the best books I've read about the door life. Even more humbling that it was written by a regular bloke who had clearly experienced horrible encounters with people you put your trust in. Need to read this again it certainly helped me find my voice and ignite my hiding courage to deal with lifes troubles over the last 10 years.
Geoff….. a giant among martial artists. He understands the difference between a regular black-belt and an O-sensie
Don't know what this guy's like at fighting – but he's certainly a grandmaster of hyperbolic overblown and longwinded writing !!
Brillant book by Jeff
He says he carried on kicking him after he was knocked out.
What a man eh?
3 second fighter is a great book!
Great fighter n human being. one of the greatest fighters of his generation.
Great book. Film wasn't all that though
Been into martial arts
For years got a black belt. Ect Ect
No disrespect its not my style..
But i got Geoff s book
Watch my back. In the 90s.
And was disappointed because
He slagged rockers & bikers…
And i was mad on rock music & motorcycles
Built some of my own.
And play guitar.
And then Terry O'Neil.
Pumped up to hell
On steroids..
For me it all went against martial art ethics..
It wouldn't matter but
They used martial arts as a platform to make money…..
Lots of money…
Sort of confused me as they were to start with my heroes..
Just checked your channel out..
Just subscribed..
Right up my street.
Thanks.
