A teen Jiu Jitsu champion has set up his own gym teaching children how to defend themselves - after going viral for taking down an ear-biting thug. Alex Williams was on his lunch break on Guisborough's Westgate when a man "threatened to stab him" a year ago.
But unbeknownst to the man, he had picked on a world champion fighter. Alex, who was 16 at the time, calmly delivered a signature double leg takedown to restrain him, reports Teeside Live.
The video of the altercation went viral with hundreds of thousands of views. Alex, now 17, has teamed up with Serenity Scott - another martial arts champ - to set up NXT Generation MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) Teesside.
