The role was not really a demanding physical role to do.
There is one fight
scene that I did and it was a lot of fun to do. Especially
with Glen hanging
around. As you know Glen is quite a practical joker and it
was always a riot
to be working with him on set. Suffice it to say that I am
a man that
appreciates a good "life support system" ...
Glen will know what I mean.
I did know that Glen had gotten into writing and I had
enjoyed reading his
book, "The Martial Artist's Way". I highly recommend it to
all your readers.
Glen and I go way back to the Hung Gar dojo in Toronto and
we had the
opportunity to train in Victoria where we shot "Sometimes a
Hero". Needless to
say it is obvious that Glen is always in training as he was
in top form and
as tough as they come...
I do still train almost everyday and teach as well, here in
L.A. My style is
now more eclectic as I incorporate The footwork and upper
body attacks of
Hung Gar with the leg strikes of Muay Thai and the ground
techniques and
grappling of Jiu Jitsu and Judo. I train in L.A. With the
Machado Brothers (The Gracies cousins) in Jiu Jitsu and
find it to be a great workout as well
as very functional. It is a great tool to have if you are
already a
proficient striker.
Anyway, best to you and all of Glens fans. Look for a new
movie that Glen
and I may be doing in the future. I hope we can actually
get him to act in the next one...
Peace and love to all
Bryan Genesse
