Clive 'THE BLACK TIGER" McKenzie

At present I am very fortunate to be working on a short fun movie with non other than the movie man from the 70's & 80's Clive McKenzie, known mainly as 'The Black Tiger'

Clive is the feature of my martial arts tribute on my face book page and he can be found on you tube also. Clive is a very talented human being, very humble and creative. His editing skills and script writing is something that has to be witnessed. Together we have combined minds to produce an 'old skool', back to basics revenge movie in the martial arts. The skills used will all be traditional, with the help of some of Bruce Lees moves for the fans. Clive McKenzie is also close friend of non other than Urban Combats Emil Martirossian who if I'm being honest is Bruce Lee living legacy. So, I'd like to thank both of these gentle men for their friendship and support.

All hail to the week of The Black Tiger!

2010 Chinese Year Of The Tiger...& Cynthia Rothrock Tribute week on FaceBook!

'Hello to all who may be reading my blog, sorry I know it's been a while. Right then, time to ramble-:)'

As you now know it is the year of the Tiger. A Tiger is fierce and bold. It is a hunter and yet is a beautiful sight. I believe this is how we should attack life, to remain true to who we are and fight to the bitter end so to full fill our own survivals in the jungles of life. The Tiger represents strength and also shadows a more vulnerable side. Kung Fu systems such as Hun Gar use Tiger movements and I really love training the Tiger claw, although I'd love to learn Hun Gar form properly. Sadly the Tiger is also the hunted, as many of our earth animals. So, we learn another stealth method from Mr Tiger...'Be heard and not seen,be seen and not heard'

And last but not least, I am proud to share some of my idols and inspirations from martial arts cinema, the Lady Tigress herself Cynthia Rothrock! Her entire achievements represent the Tiger Spirit and she has never been equaled. On my face book page i will post some movie trailers and clips for her fans and I thank Cynthia for her blessing and for being a light in the Dark.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog, there will be more stories on the way too!

Who am I?

I am a person wondering a path way that no mountains can top. I can't see the destination for the journey teaches me my inner most discoveries. I am deep & complex, at times misunderstood. I enjoy many styles of music...I can be a Goth. I am attracted to the occult with no judgement on good or bad. I relish in writing dark stories with an intense essence to back up the emotional surge that passes through us all. I don't like football but love the martial arts, i love the internal feelings i connect to and meet a different side to my personality. I can feel lost or I can feel found, like many I battle my darker side known as the 'shadow'

I am positive and live to help others, i want to spread the message of martial arts and healing and in the very same light burn things down with my heavy passions. Like others, I can be an Angel or a Devil, who am I to think or be any different?

Being a Scorpio allows me to go there without fear, to tread the cold damp corridor's of my hells and heavens to share with the world what occurs in me. I believe it so its true to me and that how we should all view life 'how it feels/seems to us'

I centre myself and overcome Duane, I am one with myself and through awareness I know what I must do in this life.

Isn't that what we must all do...just being us...

Back to it

I'm back on my path after a rib injury that's taken over a month to heal. As a result I have had to rest and fought to endure the pain of not training and not having the motivation to write in my blog. I took it as holiday lol. Anyway here I am trying to get back on that Dragon, or Tigers back. If I have learnt anything from this it is to be patient and careful in all that you do. I will continue to write some stories here for you all,and post some of my training journals. If you want me to explain anything or write anything fun just send me message on face book, or this blog. I have a lot of work ahead of me regarding my brown belt next year and writing my main stories. I hope you enjoy reading my blog and getting to know me a little better.

Take Care and be lucky.
