Danimal is the fucking man! I went to teach a seminar at his gym a few years ago; he leglocked me like 7 times and ended up teaching the seminar himself. Honestly, I was blown away at how technical his jiu jitsu is. He’s a nerd of the sport and practices what he preaches. And he’s always down to put it on the line in a competition, a true martial artists!
Danimal 就是那個該死讓我難以忘懷的人!幾年前我去他的柔術道館教研討會,他腿鎖我7次,最後他自己教了我的研討會。老實說,我被他的柔術技術搞得暈頭轉向。他是個柔術迷,總是能精確的把自己所專研的柔術技巧精準的運用在教學上。而且對於比賽總是無所畏懼的,是一位真正的武術家!

I’m generally pretty fussy in regards to who we bring in for seminars after being left disappointed a few times. I’ve followed Dan on social media as he’s travelled the world teaching and competing and been impressed watching him do both from afar. So whenever he’s back in Scotland, we try and get him to my gym and my affiliate gyms. Dan’s seminars have been up there with the best we have hosted. The information is always modern and relevant, Dan coaches with a relaxed manner while putting across a great level of detail, commanding the group and is careful to coach to the various levels in the group. One thing I really like is Dan will ask you what you want him to teach, which most guys on seminar circuits won’t do. Anytime Dan is in Scotland I’ll have him teach at Higher Level.
在過去幾次失望之後,我一般都很挑剔我們請誰來參加研討會。我在社交媒體上關注了丹,因為他周遊世界教書和比賽,看他做的這兩件事給我留下了深刻的印象,所以每當他回到蘇格蘭,我們都會帶他去我的道館和我的底下附屬的道館。丹的研討會是我們舉辦過的最好的研討會。他的柔術知識總是非常前衛的和實用的,丹以一種輕鬆的方式進行教學指導,同時細心提出了每個重要的細節,強而有力的指揮團隊,並小心地指導團隊的各個階級的學生。我最喜歡的一件事是丹在研討會詢問你你想讓他教什麼並為大家量身計畫課程,而在研討會上的大多數的教練都不會這麼做。所以只有丹在蘇格蘭的任何時候我都會邀請他來教更多高水平的課程。

丹是一個非常優秀和令人敬畏的夥伴,同時他非常擅長柔術,是一個全方面的偉大戰鬥家。自從我開始和他一起訓練以來,他總是有一個無法越位的下位防守。

Dan came to the BTS MMA and gave two training sessions – one for Gi and one for No-Gi. Dan explained the techniques simply and used a refreshing sense of humour which helped participants enjoy the training and relate to the moves better. Dan demonstrated the techniques and positioning in great detail, step by step, and gave the participants plenty of opportunity to drill and practice each move as they progressed during training. Most appreciated was during the No-Gi session, Dan Reid chose techniques that were especially practical for MMA, not purely for Jiu Jitsu, meaning the students will be able to apply what they learned in more areas of their training. We enjoyed having Dan Reid, a very humble, genuine and patient coach and look forward to having him back at BTS.
丹來到BTS MMA並進行了兩次訓練教學。一次是針對Gi道服,另一次是針對No Gi無道服。丹簡單但精確地解釋了這些技巧,並使用了令人耳目一新的幽默感,這有助於參與者享受訓練並更好地與動作產生記憶連結。丹一步一步地詳細地演示了技巧和姿勢,並給了參與者充分的機會在訓練過程中不斷練習和練習每一個動作。最受讚賞的是在無道服的課程中,Dan Reid 結合了MMA綜合格鬥特別實用的技術指導,而不只是單純只能運用在柔術的技術,這意味著學生們將能夠把學到的知識應用到更廣的訓練領域。我們很高興認識到Dan Reid,一個非常謙虛,真誠和耐心的教練和期待他能再次到BTS MMA授課。

I first met Dan when he came to Singapore for an invitational competition in 2017, he was really technical and dominated much bigger opponents.
Dan came back to Singapore in a few months to host seminars with Craig Jones around Asia.
Since then, I always try to learn his high-level jiu Jitsu from him whenever I get a chance.
The way Dan explains techniques is very clear and organized, easy to understand for both beginners and experienced grapplers.
I can’t wait to roll with him again.
當我第一次見到丹是2017他年來新加坡參加邀請賽,比賽中他真的有很好的技術,並且控制了更高大的對手。幾個月後,丹回到新加坡,當時的他正與Craig Jones 在亞洲各地舉辦研討會。從那以後,只要有機會,我總是努力向他學習他的高水平的柔術技術。丹解釋技術的方式是非常清楚和有系統組織的,對初學者和有經驗的格鬥手都很容易理解。我迫不及待地想再和他在一起訓練。
