About Me:

Manchester Budo (formerly Manchester Knock-Down Sport Budo) was founded in 1998 by Chris Bacon. Its original members were Ben Taylor, Pete Marshall, Damian Mayo, Ben Gould, Tim Hatch, Kamal Dhiman, Kieron McEntee, Ben Smith, Dalton Adams, Andy Simms, Louisa and Ish. Each member had trained previously in the martial arts and brought with them skills from various martial arts including Boxing (Dalton), Wrestling (The Monster), Kung Fu (Ben and McEntee), Tae Kwon Do (Taylor and Dhiman), Thai Boxing (Taylor and Dhiman), Jiu Jitsu (Tim), Kick Boxing (Damo - 'Wu Tang' style). Budo brought together each of these styles and allowed them to merge without boundries or limitations and this style of no-holds barred fighting appealed to these founding members.
