I was in a competition with Neil in the late eighties. There were 70 of us in the same weight class. I overheard a conversation where Neil said ā€˜yeah and Iā€™ll be the last one standing here at the end!ā€™ He was. As ever. Top man

As a 78yr old practicing judoka i loved the interview, so much to agree with. I had a short randori with him when he was u18 European champion when he came to Fairholme judo club, even then a nice lad. Brilliant all the success that he achieved and carried over to his broadcasting . Well done.

Great podcast. I was lucky enough to participate in a seminar with him last week in NYC. The place was packed and it was a lot of fun. Honored

Iā€™ve been doing judo for 20 some years and I had heard of Neil, but didnā€™t know much about him. But he is a total class act! Total respect! As Lex said, he is a true legend, because he is a great champion and has experienced both sides of the coin. Canā€™t say enough good things about him, more people need to learn from him and his experience. Mad respect, Neil, now a hero of mine. Thanks, Lex and Neil for the great interview.

Could anyone else just listen to these fellas for therapy? I'm about to fall asleep and wake up a champion-- just positive wholesome vibes through and through!

A brilliant episode. I have the privilege of knowing Neil, and he is every bit as passionate and kind as he seems - and every bit as distinguished as Lex says. Kudos to Lex for steering a very interesting and inspirational chat. The time flew by. And yes it's a cliche to say so, but both men restore one's faith in humanity, as does Neil's wonderful wife Niki.

As a kid I who did Judo for a few years my first two sports idols were Brian Jacks and Neil Adams. Thank you Lex for having the great man on.

Awesome interview... being a fellow Brit I remember following Neil Adams through the trials and tribulations of the Olympics and World Championships. Amazing to watch the archive footage and hear him talk about the background behind it all.

Fantastic! This episode I will have to keep on hand as it meant so much to me on many levels. All of this is actually built into the core of my family. As a child I thought it was normal to have a home kitted out for training with mats. Even the normality of weight training and running in all weather. You live around and in it as a child , itā€™s just part of normal life. All the memories were sparked and this overwhelming sense of ā€œhomeā€. You can keep up training, cardio and weight training right into old age (grandfather kept up with it right through his 80ā€™s). Though I ended up going into Muay Thai , the art of unbalancing people and being able to counter being dropped to the ground stayed with me so strong it was hard to not be penalized for unusual footwork and grabbing on and knocking people off balance. Judo has speed, opportunity and control at its heart and is power and beauty all in one. Something clicked in me that sparked vitality in way that I have not felt in a while. I will step up a notch and dedicate time to training again. Thank you!

It's actually really cool to listen to the sheer interest Lex has for this topic and this guest : ) like, sometimes he just lets the guest talk and talk (not always a bad thing), but this episode you can really tell both people are equally invested into the topic and conversation. I didn't understand most of it šŸ˜… but still loved listening to it šŸ˜Œ
