Ep 284 Bas Boon Golden Glory & Yakuza
Legendary manager Bas Boon takes us through the incredibly dangerous behind the scenes from one of the world’s most dominant gyms as well as transitioning to having to deal with the Pride FC and the Japanese Yakuza.
The Golden Glory gym had gangland type hits, internal fighting and a global reputation for NOT being an organization to oppose.
Bas Boon leaves no stone unturned in this incredibly personal look into his business dealings.
