Last year, NLTKD was approached by Vertigo Films to provide martial artist for the film “All Stars”. The film is out in the cinemas now. A student went to see it yesterday and said she saw numerous students in it. They were originally cast for their martial arts abilities and roles but due to delays in getting there “acting licences” they were re-cast as extras. l I don’t know how good the film is but they had fun. I believe over 6 students are in the film.

Also we had a little camera crew who came to the Leytonstone branch to do a bit of filming. It was to do with the Olympics.
