Hey there Spookey, ya I'm still around, I'm just very busy but I miss doing the things I used to do back in Canada so drop by the boards every once in a while. My schools are going well, the new one in Thailand is steadily growing, funnily enough the majority of my students are Japanese, I have to teach in Japanese although I use Korean for basic commands. I've got about 50 students here so far but will grow when I open a commercial dojang.
I've been getting alot of showbiz work lately, I'm very excited. It was a big reason I moved here, I've worked on 8 commercials and 3 movies so far. The best work I've had is a fight scene with Tony Jaa on his new movie (Tony Jaa is the Thai action Star of Ong Bak) it was a short fight scene but I finally lived my dream of kicking and getting kicked by an action star for an action movie. The other exciting thing I worked on and am still working on is a hollywood movie called 5th Commandment. I play 2 roles in that movie and my first role was shot already, both the camera shooting and me getting blown away by the main villain (Roger Yuan, the dude who kidnapped Lucy Lui in Shanghai Knights) I had a line I had to say to Roger Yuan before he shoots me and I do a stunt flying back over my chair. That was very exciting because when you have a speaking part the camera shows your face clearly.... unfortunatly there's no telling if this movie will go straight to video heh. I play the role of bodyguard next week for that movie, I had to grow a beard to change my look.
Things are going pretty well, now all I've got to do is have a few more muay thai fights and I'll have accomplished all my goals in Thailand!
