July 21st - UK1 MMA - Rik `hammer`Ellis wins UK1 MMA Light Heavyweight Title

Rik `hammer` Ellis Aikido/MMA -`Prize Fighters & Fight Science Team -  UK.

Rik Ellis the son of Henry Ellis Shihan, a student of Aikido from the age of five years . Rik continues to enjoy his Aikido as taught to him by his father who was a direct student of the legendary Budo master Kenshiro Abbe Sensei.

Rik believes in his fathers teaching, whilst Aikido can be practised in harmony in the dojo - its dojo application is totally unsuitable for the street in a time of need.

Teachers should teach students how to adapt their Aikido to meet any, and all hostile situations - The problem is - many teachers are unable to adapt as they lack the fighting spirit which they hide behind the almost biblical teachings of cowardice by turning the other cheek.

Rik believes in `Positive Aikido` - If threatened - take a positive approach - deflect your opponents attack - enter - finish - no time to talk of aiki love, or floating around the universe - no time to breath through your toes or slap your attacker with a coloured ribbon. - This would be a good time to test your `no touch` throws , or perhaps try a `Ki Blast` ( reality check ) - Good luck

The Fight in Brief

Kriston Buxey really up for this fight - he brought it on from the bell with a great opening shot that spurred Rik Ellis in to action - in a title fight Rik was just as determined to win as was Buxey.
After the opening shot from Buxey - Rik`s natural Aikido allowed his 18 pounds heavier opponent to push him back into the cage wall where Rik made a very quick and effective tight `Tenkan` turn off the cage wall taking his opponent down into some punishing `ground n pound` finishing Buxey with a rear naked choke in the 46th second of the first round.

Rik `hammer` Ellis fought Kriston`hulk`Buxey for the UK1 MMA light heavyweight title and championship belt. Rik won with a RNC in a hard  fought 46 seconds. Don't let the 46 seconds undermine the battle that these two men fought.
