Brian Jacks Pattaya 2020. Have a watch as Brian talks about his life, success and Pattaya.

[@glennthompson1971]

I got into judo aged 8 because of watching brian jacks.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

He's a smashing guy

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

Imagine leaving London as a fifteen year old kid and travelling to Japan on your own to study Judo for two years. That's what I call an adventure of a lifetime.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Well said mate

[@mothman411]

Loved Superstars, he is an absolute childhood hero of mine. Thank you for sharing this.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Such a nice guy as well

[@lenchannon]

Still remember him on superstars when I was only 5 years old and he was one of my favourites on there. Top bloke.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Agreed

[@petebeckham8562]

The man is an icon. Total respect and no airs or graces, just a solid, genuine East End bloke. I've met him once, very approachable and has time for everyone. True Gent. Brian was the only reason kids like me tuned into SuperStars, it was essential viewing, we wanted to see who he would beat every week!

[@Buzzinpattaya]

100% agreed, a very nice guy

[@rajinderbisessar4218]

Brian is a realy nice man ( i'm from Holland). I'ved stayed in his appartment. He took me out make me see Pattaya...a realy nice man

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Thanks for sharing!

[@sintalentoful]

What a great competitor and a really, really nice man. My Sensei at Orpington in the late 80's - one day I took my young nephew along to the club and Brian was so kind practising with him and signed his Gi (which I had embroidered). Pattaya sounds like a place to visit once this lockdown stuff is done....

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Lovely guy for sure

[@mrben178]

Fantastic story, what a guy.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Lovely girl

[@neonvandal8770]

I have a photo of Brian Jacks and myself on my mums wall from the Superstars/Superkids competition from about 1981. Great bloke 👏

[@Buzzinpattaya]

fantastic mate fair play

[@soitvthailand]

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Agreed, lovely guy

[@dayanford1115]

Fantastic interview with a man that I and many others idolised growing up in the UK. I cant wait for part 2.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Thank you, Pt 2 Saturday, yeah he was great to talk to

[@markr7078]

One word for that man. "Legend" . . Always admired him growing up. . Superstars was a must on t.v. . Good memories :-)

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Agreed!

[@johncarlo7395]

I was born the same year as Brian Jacks and started Judo in my thirties I got to 1st Dan, I never got to Brian's standards, but I would have loved to have been on the mat with Brian as long as he took it easy on me, what a legend, my all time hero

[@Buzzinpattaya]

That's a really good level mate fair play

[@brendanduffy2367]

Fantastic interview I met Brian once he was having pie and mash in soi Diana a top bloke and he still looks as fit as a fiddle, looking forward to seeing part 2😎👌💪💪

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Thank you, yeah he is in great shape

[@jimm5122]

Enjoyed that interview Trev.. Good bloke Brian..Had beers down soi 7 & 8 many years ago with him and his son..

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Very nice guy

[@CFCseventy]

Really someone to look up to god bless you Brian

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Agreed, was a great time with him

[@nicholasarcher2503]

Great interview, can't wait to see part 2. Brian Jacks really was/ is a superstar and a man i would love to meet, comes across as a "PROPER" bloke as well which is no surprise

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Yeah he was so genuine and talked openly. Pt 2 Saturday

[@chrisfinn7907]

Trev - For me this is the best coffee chat you have done to date by a country mile.. great interview...watched it twice..I remember Brian winning the Olympic Judo Bronze in Munich and then watching him on Superstars and smashing the dips and squats out for fun, not just once but year after year. At that time I could manage 4 dips until I joined the Army and then managed 5 ! 🤣🤣 Must say he still looks good. Guessing he's about 75 now ? Looking forward to part 2 Thanks Trev 😀

[@Buzzinpattaya]

hahaha glad you enjoyed it mate, he was such a nice guy

[@thailand999]

Totally a true legend and looking superb for 74 years old.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Yeah he is in good shape

[@Jazz_Funk_Kitten]

My grandad and Brian’s dad trained in Judo together. Then Brian and my dad trained together at The Budokwai. I then trained at Brian’s judo school alongside his son Philip. And now, my 7-year old son is studying Kung Fu, so one day he can wear his great-grandfathers black belt.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Nice one mate

[@blacklit9882]

I met him a couple of times even playfights with him as a kid back in the 80s. Always wonder why KZbin has no footage of his fights?

[@andysmith9786]

More interviews like this with interesting people that have some good stories and what eventually led them to live in Thailand........ Cheers

[@Buzzinpattaya]

For sure, it is on our schedule for the start of 2021, glad you enjoyed it

[@MartynJohnson-y4d]

Having watched your videos for the last 6 months or so, I decided to look at some of your previous stuff. I had to watch this one, I saw the ones with Brian an 2 other guys earlier in the year. What a legend! You have lost some weight since this video too, kudos.

Brian Is a true legend.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

[@paulscott3022]

Years ago he came to our golf club as a guests, he strutted around like he owned the place. His attitude was...look who I am. Talk about being so far up his own backside. He was a arrogant bombastic individual who loved himself that’s for sure.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

All I can say is he was a pleasure to be with in this interview, maybe he was just having a bad day..... shame as he appeared to be a lovely guy from the little time I spent with him.

[@สมชายใหญ่เสมอ-ฝ2ฤ]

Paul scott.i was there and Brian was a Gentleman,you must have been very pissed Buddy !!

[@pattayadreaming3850]

When does the Beer Garden Pattaya open back up? The one in front of Walking Street. I miss it.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Building work is happening at the front s I guess once that is done, but not sure

I trained with Brian and his mentor Errol in high school, thank you Brian and RIP Errol.

[@Buzzinpattaya]

Thank you kindly

[@catchbay]

Checked from wikipedia (Judo/Europe/Finland) if I remember correct - seems that I still do. When I was junior I advanced to yellow belt with two dan - those are red stripes but called dan at here as wikipedia says. I quitted for a reasons but one of the last match which I made, I can remember it still like yesterday - I sweeped the legs and took the hold. Probably 10 seconds + the wait time before it was called over. That was 35 years ago... (edited): probably the belt was white + two dan. There was discussion how to color the belt to yellow. Need to check it out next time when visiting my parents.... and nobody cares :-)
