Contact Kick Therapy, a great fight/stunt troupe in NYC, did this commercial for Baconery, a bakery that puts bacon in all of their products. While I wasn't a part of this video, many of my friends were involved in the conception, choreography, and performance of this commercial. You can see the commercial here.
Today was my Skills Proficiency Test in Knife. Fight Master Ian Rose gave my fight partner, Michael Irish, and me a Recommended Pass. We performed a piece from The Harlot and The Hypocrite by Jeff Goode. The fight was choreographed by Robert "Tink" Tuftee. Congratulation to the other members of the class, including Dina Cataldi and Ethan Itzkow.
