Lucy Tui and I commentating for 'Eruption' in 2010
International Kickboxer Magazine Vol.18, No.6
For Lucy Sassen Tui, fighting was in her blood; her father had been the New Zealand heavyweight amateur boxing champion in 1954. She was one of nine children, closest in age to her brother, so she found herself joining in with the boys at playtime. “I was very sporty,” she remembers. “I did a lot of athletics while I was at school, and I held the record for the 100-yard dash as a teenager.” This was an excellent base for her martial arts training, which began like so many other kickboxers – in Kyokushin karate.

Every fighter who is exceptional does it after their own fashion. In a fundamental sense, this is logical. The easiest fighters to read are the textbook ones; you can read them because, well, their technique looks exactly like it should. A lot of the time, the most dangerous people are unorthodox, because they don’t look like anything you’ve seen before. This principle holds true not only for the way a fighter executes technique, but also penetrates all the way into training. This series of articles will spend time with several exceptional fighters and come up with the goods on what makes them unique. A good part of it is physiology and talent, but it has everything to do with doing things differently. Continue reading

What's Wrong with the Australian Film Industry!
Posted in Film, Journalism with tags Chardonnay sipping socialist, David Parker and Nadia Tass, Jim Schembri, Matching Jack, The Age Newspaper on January 15, 2011 by Jarrod Boyle
Began reading this article on Friday afternoon.
It was interesting, and by the time I’d read the text, I decided to read the comments, also. Three things;
- You can’t underestimate the wit and wisdom of the average reader.
- Every twat responsible for the Australian Film ‘industry’ should have this fixed as required reading.
- The problem is just as most of us suspected.
I understand that most of us are ‘time poor’ (snigger), so I reproduce some of my favourite letters below. Continue reading
