Dan "The Beast" Severn wrote - 'A little bit about me': Lets flash to the past... 1994, The Ultimate Fighting Championships have begun pairing two men inside a octagon shape steel cage with only two rules to abide by: 1) Do not bite your opponent & 2) No eye gouging. Anything else you can possibly think of was good to go and I mean anything. There was no weight classes, no time periods and no gloves, only bare knuckle action. Did I forget to say that this was an eight man tournament? You had to fight three different men in one night, thus the era of No Holds-Barred was etched in stone. The titles were different at that time. They did not have specific weight classes, but rather Tournament belts & The Super Fight Title. During this time period I was named as the ONLY Triple Crown Champion Winner... At UFC 5 "Return of The Beast", I defeated three men to gain the Championship belt that night. I was also the victor at the first "Ultimate Ultimate" in 1996, where I competed against champions and runner ups. The third Championship Belt was the Super Fight Championship when I defeated "The Worlds Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock at UFC 9. Now, let's flash to the future... The eve of 2006, 12 years after I began my fighting career. Yes, I still enter steel cages (coined politically as Mixed Martial Arts), and I also continue to enter the "squared circle" as a professional wrestler. So at the age of 47, this means I still compete and will continue to compete alongside commitments for MMA seminars, appearances, speaking engagements, etc. all around the world. Competition is what I love and most of the time... it loves me back. I am also the Head Instructor of my "Sports Center" (Michigan Sports Camps) in Coldwater, Michigan. This is a training facility where you can learn MMA, Pro Wrestling, Boxing, Kickboxing, Amateur Wrestling, and more. This is a 10,000 sq. ft. building with two mat rooms, a heavy bag room, full weightlifting room, two rings (16x16 & 20 x20), two dorms that holds up to 40 people at once, a full cafeteria and more. We have an array of students who want to learn what it takes to go to the top in either the fighting world or the pro wrestling business. Not everything I do can be summed up in competition. I also visit schools, groups, etc. and talk about the importance of education, making the right choices, health and fitness tips and so on. I have taken these same skills and the determination that made me world renown in the UFC and aimed it in the direction of Law Enforcement Training. I have developed a "Ground Defenses & Escapes" program where I get together with training coordinators of police departments around the US and teach them how to use my program, so they may teach there departments. I like to call this transition "Fist to Cuffs." Some questions, I get asked all the time are... Who starts a fight career at the age of 36? What possessed Dan Severn to start amateur wrestling in the first place? Why was Dan Severn criticized for being a professional wrestler? Learn the truth about me... and about the man they refer to as "The Beast" by signing up for my weekly newsletter. Also, I encourage feedback, so when you happen to read my newsletters and you have questions or comments, please email them to dan@dansevern.com. Let me know what you want to hear about. I will respond to you ASAP, but I do get hundreds of emails a day, so please be patient.
