Unarmed But Dangerous - Kung Fu Flid

At work so don't have sound, but I remember a doc. with that actor where he was training to fight in the ring ins some kind of UFC thing (gotta love the attention to detail...). Think he did alright, though obviously he relied largely on his kicking.
 
he's an old friend, and someone who's determined to challenge disability prejudice in the most extreme ways possible - he's a rapper, poet, drummer, did cage fighting, a C4 disability themed show, film maker and all sorts of other stuff as well. Top bloke.

to be fair, he got creamed. At first the opponents didn't know what to make of it and he coped, but when they decided he was fair game they destroyed him :(

But it was ballsy as fuck of him to even try it.

Fair enough, rose-tinted rememberance I suppose :oops:

Well bloody quite :eek:

edit: I think my definition of "did alright" can be translated as "did not get killed", as that's what it would stand for for me :(
 
he's a fantastic drummer too. Not "fantastic cos he's got short arms" but genuinely great. He has to play with the kit really close, but he BATTERS it. Was in a Brixton band called Grateful Dub and there was a punkier lot who's name I forget.

He did a really interesting short called Freak Fucking, which was basically explaining that he was getting lots of girls trying to be edgy / upset their mums who wanted to sleep with him to garner cool points. At first he found it upsetting, but then he figured - "they're using me, I'm using them".

He was on that early Huge Furry Ducking-Stool show as well, where they went round people's houses for dinners. He cooked his newborn baby's placenta :)
 
I wish I could act, because I'd have a whale of a time playing those hard-faced fat old bastards that always crop up in films like this :)

And he offered Victor Lewis Smith out (Smith, of course, bottled it :()!

I used to know him too :)
 
any idea where he is now? He was a near neighbour off Brixton Hill for ages but I think he moved out to East London
 
Unfortunately not, it's been a while. Back when I used to work for a disability arts organisation.
 
I met him a few years ago at Buckingham Palace when the Queen was giving out Churchill Memorial Award medals. We had both bottled out of bringing weed and were lamenting our poor decision not to copy the Beatles in having a crafty spliff in the bogs.
