Hey guys

I am very fortunate enough to be heading back to the UAE. After completing a 6 week Live Show over there the ‘X-Treme Team’ team and I have been invited to Perform in Abu Dhabi at an Opening Ceremony for a Sports Tournament hosted by the Sheikh. We will be heading over in a few days time.  We can’t wait to display our skills on an international scale. The team is very grateful for this opportunity and judging by our rehearsals, this is going be our best show by far!

I am very proud to release my 2014 Showreel, consisting footage of my Professional TV, Film and Training Work. I can honestly say that a lot of blood sweat and tears have gone into the making of this as it is a continual process of individual improvement. With that said, I am extremely grateful to have at the opportunity to with and on some amazing projects. I am blessed to have such a strong network of supportive friends and family! I appreciate each and everyone of you who i have had the opportunity to share my passion. Many thanks and Enjoy!

Working along with the 9 Lives team some of the worlds best stuntmen and action directors we got to shoot some fight choreography sequences. The Film is titled ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service.

170414 - Clusters of Light & New Sampler

Hi Everyone,

I have just got back from Performing in Sharjah and Dubai. I had an amazing experience over there spending close to 6 weeks in the UAE. The show i was a part of is titled ‘Clusters of Light’. It is 2 hour live spectacle staged on a purpose built roman colosseum type amphitheater. My role on the show was to perform Fight and weapons choreography. It was a great learning experience on many fronts. We performed 6 Shows and the standing ovation at the end of each show was icing on the cake!

While in the UAE Region, we had a great time doing activities specific to the area. I must say that Dubai should be on everyone’s visit list. We went Qaud Biking in the desert, We went up the tallest bulding in the world (The Burj Khalifa), Went skiing in a man made indoor skii Resort (Inside a shopping centre) and got to visit the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.

During this time i released a Tricking Sampler of my own. The footage in the video is of my most recent training sessions including clips from my travels to the USA, New Zealand and here in Australia.

 

The X-Treme Team and our Junior X-Treme Team had a busy few weeks with Performances. Performing at Darling Harbour over 2 days for the Anatolian Festival. This was then followed by performances for the Harmony Day Celebrations. We also ran a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Workshop for the Public at Castle Towers Shopping Centre.
