Top USA Coach Eddy Mills often famed for being featured on the now classic "Life in the cage" documentary is coming to Toon. Yes Newcastle Upon Tyne.
Eddy runs the Shark Tank in California and is a well known K1 trainer with many top level fighters coming out of his stable.
Heres what the Shark Tank Website has to say:
The Shark Tank mixed martial arts gym was founded in 1995 by Eddy Millis.
Eddy Millis began teaching martial arts to a few friends at a local jr. college. Several weeks later a few friends became over 30 students. It was not till one of the fathers of a Shark Tank student suggested for the guys to start competing, that The Shark Tank Team was born.
In the early days Team Shark Tank frequently traveled to Mexico, Hawaii and some local under ground shows to fight. There was no money really, only the desire to compete and take their hard training to a next level. Training in the early days was nothing short of brutal. Fighters from the Shark Tank were known for always being in top shape and their submissions (especially leg locks) were something to be feared in the cage.
To this day fighters from The Shark Tank have fought in almost every major MMA show on the planet. UFC, K-1, Superbrawl, and Pancrase, to name just a few."
Eddy is scheduled to come here late next month and Alan will also be running a seminar for those of you not so interested in MMA. We will be co hosting this with Knuckle Draggers Pete Irvings team.
Ben and Myself went out to train with Eddy (with Alan too) in 2006 and would recommend no one misses this opportunity. Alan has gone to a great deal of effort and expense to make this happen so everyone needs to support him!
