lot’s of wind. the trees don’t like it
i read an interview on Will Ferrell in Maxim. He said on the last night shooting for Old School, they had 300 extras and they were filming a big party scene with Snoop Dog…..apparently Snoop Dog and his crew had some “herbal remedies” and since they were suppose to be a bit nutty and crazy and wild, Will said, “Why not.”
Yesterday’s rain was a blessing in disguise for me, since that gave our hankido demo crew a chance to perform inside the RSF for Cal Day. It was my first demo and it was pretty cool. We ran through our thing twice and we had a decent crowd each time….before setting up the mats, we took advantage of the free RSF massage…hell it was cold inside and we wanted to warm up our muscles…felt nice in any event.
We demo rolls, falls, dive rolls – and we had a neat human pyramid set-up for that….on the second run through – i mis-calculated and hit the wood instead of the mat. My arm is still pretty pissed off over that. We also had demos on sixteen step, tossing the biggers guys, come-along techniques, and our skit: two guys attacking the fair maiden.
the day also showcased demos by judo, kendo, and taekwondo. Taekwondo kicked ass with it’s demo! They show forms and lots of breaking of wood 🙂 Some pieces flew into the audience and other martial arts folks had to catch them….then we tried to break the boards on our heads (Wushu was also in the mix, but I left before I could catch their demo 🙁 )
more movie reviews to type up…Gau, Mark, and I watched Cowboy Bebop last Friday night….Awsome movie!
i’ll tell you more about it later….
