Like a Ninja Monkey playing Rock Guitar

About Me

I Like to rock........
I used to play in a rock band called:-
Peace Through Superior Firepower.
But we are no more. I have started a new band called Attack of the 50ft Robots
you can check out our myspace site at Attack of the 50ft Robots' Invasion Party. Bring a bottle...
We sound like an upbeat, catchy alternative rock, with the power to bend spoons. We are not Emo. People who are Emo are like Goths, only much less dark and much more Harry Potter. We are more like The Foo Fighters trapped in an episode of happy Days
As well as enjoying music, I am a Martial Arts Instructor and hold my second Dan black belt in Karate. I am currently the Assistant Chief Instructor at the Chris Jones Martial Arts Fitness Centre and teach ITF Taekwondo there most evenings.

I have also got involved in stunt fighting and have been in the following films:-
Underground (Skylandian Pictures, 2008)
Tough Justice (Utopian Pictures, 2008)
Ten Dead Men (Modern Life?, 2008)
I trained Traditional Taekwondo at my Gym as I got free lessons with me being a gym member. But sadly that particular club ended up being very closed minded about cross-training, so I left...
I don't get out as much as I used to, but I know I can't drink as much as I used to either so it kind of works out well... Your results:
