Fight School - Truly awful

I have to say, reality shows today are getting dire and dire. The latest one on Sky one is "Fight School". I saw the repeat on Saturday. It was bad, it was soooo bad! The cheesiest (is that a word?) factor is high, yes, stinky like your day old parmesan! My dad was insulted, he says that they can't even punch properly. It must be infuriating for him to watch (I doubt he would sit through it all anyway, as he even sees flaws with martial arts shows on Eurosport) The first guy to be eliminated was crying (not blaming him for being defeated by a girl who was way shorter than him). I find the contestants are getting something not everyone would have, a good meal and thorough work-out. Dad says that martial artists from all around the world actually apply to the Shoalin Temple training school for period of a few years, and they don't have the luxury of all the food these contestants have. They also had to do chores like chopping wood (improving grip and strength), getting pails of water (strength and balance) and cross-training running on rough terrain (stamina), and then the usual martial arts training. The contestants do not have to do any of this (not with what I have seen anyway). Sound tougher, eh? Anyway, the so-called "See Foo" (master) looks out of place and uncomfortable and very fake, plus who has two tight pvc clothed oriental girls opening the doors and standing alongside the "See Foo"! And when they have a match to eliminate someone, they are fully padded! But as with all reality shows, I am going to see how this goes and see who are the losers who finishes this show.

does anyone know who won fight school, that reality show on sky one? I missed the last episode?

Posted by: Bean on February 5, 2003 08:59 PM

I don't know who won, but it is always feels good to see girls beat (or kick)the guys.

Posted by: Mo on February 17, 2003 07:28 AM

Heh! Me too.. but unfortunately, I think a guy won!

hi

Posted by: derek on March 30, 2003 04:06 PM

how would you improve the show if you had the chance?

Posted by: on April 2, 2003 03:17 PM

Um, prob all the niceties will be taken away. Actually have a proper martial arts school policy laid down, similar to Shoalin Monks way of life, and they even toned it down for non-monks who train there, but it is hard-going.
The padding should go and allow them to perform fully to there potential of their martial art abilities. The padding made it so restrictive, it was like watching a street version of a boxing match. There was no proper control of the discipline they have learnt.

Posted by: whykay on April 2, 2003 04:05 PM

um...does anyone know anything about toby? actually i think it was quite a pity for him to get eliminated cos i definitely do not think that he was the weakest in the last few challenges so he didn't deserve to get out. if you do know anything then could you please post it up here? thanks

Posted by: on April 10, 2003 06:15 PM

Me too, i think it was a pity Toby lost! But Paul really was a good fighter! Though he didn't really do that well in some challenges. I felt sorry for Emma in the final fight...Paul really beat her huh!

Posted by: cath on April 11, 2003 03:26 AM

Dear readers, just sitting in an internet cafe with M and both found this site. who ever wrote the intro to this site should be given a medal! I agree with sum of the points u made but i dont think anyone can pass judgement who was"nt there. If your dad thinks he's Bruce lee i will gladly give him the details for fite school2, not diss'n your dad dont get me wrong but dont tar everyone in fight school with the same brush. I'm glad you feel this strongly about reality tv coz the whole things a set up and sky1 should be ashamed for not portraying martial arts in the way it deserves. on the other hand M has told me to stop being so negative in this email. love and peace to all. M and Don

Heh.. it's ok. I'll tidy it up so it's just one
comment. No probs. Wow, didn't realise this blog generated so may comments!

Posted by: whykay on May 20, 2003 06:05 PM

also i forgot to mention in my last email that if the fight school instructors are the cream of british martial arts then we have no hope the only one who really showed real concern for the students was Becky Riggs. This lady stayed true to her word as an instructor. her heart and will power was never matched by the other 2instructors. as for them. GLORY HUNTERS! i dont know how they can call themselves teachers when they show such little understanding of their art and students in their care.


please give comments. Im on a roll!

Posted by: on May 24, 2003 01:33 AM

dom- if it is really you - all i can ask of you is -'why are u so *****d off - you let yopurself down, in our family tou were winning' but both you and Toey are amazing martial artists, but both of you showed an immaturity in you style that Paul surpassed. One of the main attributes of any style is indomitable spirit. Toby studies my style and i was embarrased by his attitude and arragance. You should be proud that you made that you made the grade and got onto the show- but don't be mad - in the end Paul had what it took to be a winner - don't blame an
yone but yourself for your loss. My children think you are amazing - and you are - but withy maturity you will be an brilliant and not just good martial artist. p.s. good ,luck to both you and m - you make an amazing couple.

Posted by: mark on May 25, 2003 12:32 AM

p.s. Miss riggs is one of my teachers and is an inspiration for all that she trains and train with her - pos sorry for the spelling mistakes- but i hope i got my message across

Posted by: mark on May 25, 2003 12:37 AM

hi mark. i totaly agree with what you said...Don is amazing! ha! but seriously you sound like you have very strong feelings towards Martial Arts thats really special, you obviously have a good teacher...say hi to Becky for me please! im amazed that fight school intrested so many people. im gratefull every day that i got the chance to be a part of it.It was an amazing expierience that will be with me forever.Not only did i get to live out a dream of training in China, i also met the love of my life...cant be bad can it!! Well anyway just thought id reply to u. take care and keep training! M.

Posted by: M on June 4, 2003 09:12 PM

Posted by: M on June 7, 2003 04:52 PM

hey micz and ice, how you doing, just to let you know ive read everything youve sent me and think its all really cool. glad to hear about the web site and cant wait to check it out, any info you need im sure the guys and myself will be mor than happy to dish all the goss! peace out! Don

Posted by: on June 10, 2003 02:08 AM

hi all some interesting comments, hi m, hi don how u guys doing, looking at some people's comments they seem very negative towards the show and i have seen comments on other sites saying we were all crap etc and that they can do better! look i can tell you from first hand experience and so can anyone else from fs. unless u were there you can never know what its like, it was HARD and id love to challenge anyone with that attitude. my whole life through martial arts i have trained real hard and have trained for 17 years now, so believe me i know what i am doing, and i know that fs training was tough even by my mesures and i was the first out so u should get a ruff idea of what it was like. on a more personal note, hope everyone from fs is keeping well i know i saw m and don at the fs2 auditions and it was nice to see u guys. m i know u know Russ who is a sfx engineer at thorpe park working with u and emma well he has now signed up with me and is a student of mine now and thats because of u so thankyou. you guys really will have to come and visit me in devon real soon ok.

peace out all, keep on kickin!!!!!

Posted by: Andrew Spink on June 10, 2003 04:36 PM

this is getting to be a funny place! u know, like an FS message board!?! major thanks to don for what he posted and thanks andrew for replying to my email! sorry kaykay for the additional traffic! we didn't mean for this to happen! heya don, could u please send m the bio thingie that i sent u and send me ur answers to them for the site! as i said, having a hard time due to lack of fighter info and pics! good luck and God bless to ya lots! ciaoie!

Posted by: micz on June 11, 2003 07:16 PM

hey guys. this site is kinda wierd it would be wicked if micz could get a fight school site then we could chat there but in the meantime i hope whykay doesn't mind.
Andrew, russ would have signed up with u anyway he praises u all the time that was nothin to do with me.I finish the show in september so hopefully me and don can come stay and train with u then if the offer's still open.
well take care guys, M

Posted by: m on June 12, 2003 03:48 PM

Go ahead..feel free to comment as much as you all want. I do not mind. It is just wierd that is all, like you said! ;)
Where are you folks watching FS anyway? Cos FS has been over done and dusted on Sky one in Ireland ages..from my post.. in Oct 2002 the latest! Just curious. :)

Posted by: whykay on June 12, 2003 03:58 PM

it did finish in oct as far as i know, but obviously some people liked it.FS will live on as long as peeps want it too...well at least untill FS2, then were history, just kiddin. it got a good response from your site considerin u thought it was crap dont ya think? each to their own thou!

Posted by: m on June 12, 2003 04:37 PM

nah! whatever happens, the original fight school will live on forever cuz u guys were the first and will always be the best! keep up the good work =)

Posted by: micz on June 12, 2003 07:34 PM

I love the first fight school, I was completely hooked and have all the episodes on tape. I have spoken to Becky by email but have not had the oppurtunity to speak to anyone else. I applied to fight school 2 but could not make the audition due to a family tradegy, anyway, love all you guys and hope the second series is as good as the first (which i doubt it will be) U guys rock!!!

Kindest Regards

Posted by: Paul Hanson on June 24, 2003 03:31 PM

Cheers paul im glad you liked it, if u could send me the copies as i have lost all mine, ill send money for postages etc, just tell me how much for, fight school was really tough but we all gave 100 % and despite what some people think of FS we are a good reflection on the uk talent, hi fellow Fight School chums! anyway thanks for your comments paul im sure, m and don and the rest of gang will say hi to ya next time there on here.

all the best Andrew

Posted by: Andrew Spink on June 25, 2003 12:51 PM

Yeh no problem Andrew, It will take me a little while as i taped them on something called a TiVo and I do not have a tape to tape recorder. I have left my email address if you roll over my name so feel free to email me and any other fight school students also please feel free to email me as I am a HUGE fan of the show. In case you hadn't guessed.

hi to ya'll!!!

au revoir!

Posted by: ice on June 27, 2003 12:43 AM

Hi there FS fans, I was wondering if anyone knows how much swearing had to be edited out as I find it hard to believe that during all those hard tasks, fights and arguments with the shifu's that someone wasn't tempted to say something. Does anyone have contact info for Emma?

Posted by: Paul Hanson on June 27, 2003 08:18 AM

heya paul! uh huh i do have contact info for emma! i'm just not sure if i'm allowed to give it out so u better ask one of the fs people, i'm sure they'd be willing to help u out! hope i've been helpful! =)

Posted by: micz on June 27, 2003 10:31 AM

Thanks anyway, Hello any FS students on here, could you please send contact info (if its ok with Emma) to kindofmagic@mail.com as I would love to talk to her.

Thanx : )

Posted by: Paul Hanson on June 27, 2003 02:24 PM

This has gone very quiet, where is everybody?

Posted by: Paul Hanson on June 30, 2003 09:11 AM

hey andrew , i tried emailing u concerning the signed photo of the fight school gang but the emil just returned back to me !
i would love to have one but just need to know how can i send a postal order

Posted by: adeel on June 30, 2003 07:10 PM

wow! loads of new peeps here now how good is that!
big hello to my girls micz and ice will send details soon so dont stress, to pauls Q; i cant speak for the other students but from my part there was alot of cursin. remember, to use words like !*?$ $$$$*! %!*^£ is not big and its not clever, but hey f*!K it.

ps. Fact: The Spinkanator talks in his sleep. any1 who can guess who the spinkanator is wins a hot date with andrew.

peace and love Don

Posted by: on July 1, 2003 12:10 AM

I was watching the episode with the Wushu Flag dance yesterday and noticed that most of the people who got hit was from the Grandmaster's assitances who after you had jumped high enough would lift the flag to head height so it still hit you. Did anyone else notice this? I remember this is what happened when Don got asked to step out.

Posted by: Paul Hanson on July 1, 2003 08:58 AM

heyyyyyyyyyyyyy its don! Hello there!

Posted by: Laura on July 1, 2003 04:47 PM

yeah thats so true it was the assistants they were rubbish, i dont think they understood wot they were meant to do. they shouldnt have showed that one or we should have done it again at least. wot was everyones favorite challenge or bit of fight school and the worst? i would love to know.
to adeel i dont know how we could all sign a pic for u cos we hardly ever meet all together but if we do in the future ill make sure i bring some pics and a pen. i could email u a pic of all of us thou if u like?
well hi to everyone( esp andrew and alex!!!) hope your all well! bye for now, much luv M x

Posted by: m on July 1, 2003 06:21 PM

hi thanks m! :) kind of u . yeah i would love some pics of the fight school gang. thanx. it waz a great show while it lasted , but i thought it waz unfair for danny as most of moves were classified as "ilegal". m if the link email is full with all crap email me with the same id but in yahoo instead of hotmail, thanx again m

Peace Out

Posted by: adeel on July 1, 2003 07:28 PM

My favourite challenges and bits of fight school:
Well being a TaeKwonDo man myself the breaking was enjoyable, also Toby's shout will stick in my head for eternity. I absolutley creased up when Grandmaster Lau actually said I will make my decision with my knowledge and wisdom (talk about blowing your own trumpet). I don't really have anything I don't like about it.

Ciao for now

hi people.
Don just told me bout this site i never knew fs was so popular! i didnt even know they have started auditions for a second series should be nice to see other people get eaten by mosquitos.it would be good to see everyone again and catch up, i spoke to james one of the runners a few days ago guys hes doin smtv again now anyone know how the other crew members are doin?
it was nice to read all the comments about the show and myself but you have to remember it was a tv program if anyone here does it they will soon understand what we mean, take care

Hi Toby, I know you said it was just a TV show but for those who were watching, it was inspiring and single handedly rekindled my love for martial arts, something I had all but lost until i saw FS.


Ciao for now

Hey they Micz, would anyone here from FS pass on Danny's email address (if its ok with him) so I can chat to him, I am also from Newcastle Upon Tyne and was wondering where abouts he trains and stuff. Thanks.

Does anyone from fight school know Master Tom Walton? He is my Chief Instructor and is on the WTF Dan grade panel. Speaking of Dan grades there is one this Sunday in fact, does anyone do WTF or will maybe attending this grading at the Dome, Doncaster?

I have waffled on enough for now

Bye d bye

Posted by: Paul Hanson on July 3, 2003 01:14 PM

hi ya paul i do wtf tae kwondo well did ive stoped at the mo.
The name doesnt ring a bell but maybe by face he will, What team are you from? mine was the london team when i fought ,do you you fight? if so what weight?isnt the scorpions in doncaster? they have quite a good team lasttime i checked, my master is master ki young sou ,but he has just took a job at a korean university in LA as their trainer so it would be a long way to train with him again!
who is taking the grading on sunday? usually master park takes them, has he come over again? i met my wife fight at his open in stuttgart, he has a very good comp every year, some of the best in the world go ,last year my friend lost to hadi sied from Iran he lost 7-2 i think they won more or less everything there as per usuall! nice talking too ya good luck in trainng

Posted by: Toby Russel on July 3, 2003 06:02 PM

heya! nice to know toby's joined the gang! lols... heya'll!!! this place is getting a lil tight... and i haven't been posting for what seems like a century... btw, fs is real popular... even if there's quite some negative statements wc in my opinion is bull... lols... anyways, i sooooo agree with paul... FS isn't really just a TV show... it's really so much more... honestly, it's simply (at the least) inspiring.

i gotta run... household stuff, exams, crap... and real noisy sibs... lols... au revoir! God Bless! TC!

Posted by: ice on July 3, 2003 06:15 PM

heya toby! i sent u an email in ur hotmail account but ur not replying! if u don't know yet, my sis and i are making an fs fansite. i just sent u a set of questions for the fighter profiles... hope you don't mind answering it! thanks! peace out!

Posted by: micz on July 3, 2003 08:14 PM

Hiya Toby, Ice and all FS peeps. I think your gradings might be in a different place to mine Toby, on my dan grade panel they were, Tom Walton, Phil James, Gary Sykes and Bryan Whiley.
I thought you were only 19 Toby, and you have a wife (not passing judgement by the way, age has nothing to do with love). Anyway, if anyone wants to chat with me either post here (i am looking on here nearly every half hour) or send me an email at kindofmagic@mail.com I would love to chat to any FS students or anyone who loves FS as much as me and with the exception of Micz and Ice I find it highly doubtful : )

Love u all, Paul

Posted by: Paul Hanson on July 3, 2003 10:59 PM

hi
just use this email tobytkd@aol.com if you wanna send me anything i only check this one but still very rarely ill check more now! im glad the show has made some people go back or start a martial art it makes it mean more to have done it, hope u guys stick at it!
i know of gary sykes was the team coach now they have a spanish trainner never met him yet but my friends say hes good.yea only 19 and married but im happy so got no probs it makes life a lot harder and makes you grow up fast but shes worth it. she was iranian female champ for 5 years, also been here 2 yrs and won the big comps here.
its good to hear don and m are still together both really nice people! have a good day

Posted by: Toby Russel on July 4, 2003 04:51 PM

heya paul.. lols... i'm checking it atleast once every two days... at most twice a day lols... wow... ur really into this stuff... wish i had the opportunity to check it out that frequently... unfortunately we got exams, and like mica said our nanny went on vacation... we're going out of twon this coming wednesday.. boring stuff... lols... anyways, i was kinda taken too when i heard (it was mentioned in the show by one of the pupils... no naming) that toby was married... it's not that usual but it happens... kinda sweet... i know that dan's married... that kinda took me too.. lols... since the only one i was sure about was dominica back then... well later guys... hi to ya'll!!! i'll be checking in on you peeps often... au revoir!

Posted by: ice on July 4, 2003 05:17 PM

.. four days to go.. count down begins... lols... can anyone guess what? hehehe... later!

Posted by: ice on July 4, 2003 05:26 PM

hey guys! i'm from manila, philippines. i watched the show from day one til the end! :) ask micz how fanatic i was during the season of fight school one. i had this website where i posted my daily journal and i would put some screen shots of FS for rememberance! :) i would even talk about the whole episode, who won, who was the strongest, the weakest... i'm an avid fan! then fortunately micz surfed for FS infos in the net and she found my site! :) she even fed me info about andrewspink.com, about the shifus' email addresses, etc. weeks later after the season, shifu beck replied to my email saying that she's glad to know that i'm a fan of FS and she even told me that FS2 might push through on sept2003. that's what she said last april [or may]. like others, i tried to look for info in the net about the students and my fave student EMMA!!! :) the renee zellweger student of fight school! :) but, i only got 2-5 pictures of alex [one of my faves] and paul, the winner. last april, andrew sent me emails every now and then, he even sent me pics of FS. :) thanks man! :) btw, still remember me? i hope so... i wish to hear more from the fans and especially to the students of FS1. i'll bookmark this page and drop a line everyday! as what andre spink told me before ending his emails, "keep kickin'!" ;)

Posted by: raimon on July 4, 2003 05:39 PM

Heya all, You have my total blessing Toby, I am also 19 and know love is hard to find (Does anyone know if Emma is single?) just a thought : ) I have a chance to check this so often because I am a professional website designer so i spend my life on the net. I am probably one of fight school's biggest fans and any response from any student, and from anyone is greatly appreciated.

Love ya and leave ya Paul

Posted by: Paul Hanson on July 4, 2003 11:02 PM

paul... yo!! heya'll!!! not really sure if emma is single but kinda seems like it. toby!!! you got mine too!!! (for what it's worth) paul... hehe... i wish i could have my whole life hooked online too!!! that would be heaven! it's so cool that ur a pro webdesigner!!! has any one guessed?

This grading in doncaster. Are any of the fight school people going?

Posted by: Laura on July 5, 2003 08:22 PM

hey everyone, you probably know most about about me now, just thought I would say that if anyone knows if Emma is single please pass on my admiration for her. I think shes great. I don't think any fight school people will be at the grading laura, sorry.

I love u all, especially those of legal age, or if you are EMMA (swoon).

wow i thought people would have stopped mailing by now! ive missed out! yeah that flag thing was terrible i went out in spectacular form i larsted about ten seconds before those those gorgeous girls gave me a wack with the flag! went to the sports show in earls court (london) it was mad, i had to fight in the teams and scraped a win, but had to cus london predators needed to win to clinch the national league, i think a gave every one a heart attack with my inconsistant fighting cus it came i won 9/8 quite lucky, too much time at uni i think! oh yeah i saw john fashunu that bloke out of i am celeb get me out of here! he's bloody massive in real life! hello to all the fight school competitors yeah we need a good reunion, just say the word and i am there! hows wats the rest of the china crew up to andrew hows your schools coming on? hope you film stuffs going well mate, and em hope your close to landing that lara role, my girl freind thinks she looks like her, i told her that you look like her and she gave me slap and almost knocked me out! hehe shouldent have shown her those moves! danni man let me know wat your up to! i think i'll end my novel now! take care!!

Posted by: alex campbell on July 7, 2003 12:01 AM

HI GUYS! just a quick hello to everyone.... sorry paul but emma is taken!! hi alex weve missed u. and a big hello to toby! how have u been? glad to c ur still happy with wifey. why the hell have u stopped training? wots goin on? well time to go but all of y'all take care much luv M!

Posted by: M on July 7, 2003 03:48 PM

Sorry to hear about Emma being taken, its a dark day in Paulville, : ). I have heard that Shifu Nathan Lewis is getting into film work, I thought his first acting role was being the hard guy which everyone hates in Fight School. Surely that cannot be his attitude all the time otherwise he would be a very lonely man. Anyway, Micz & Ice have asked me to do an episode review of my choice and also a full Fight School review for the upcoming website. I have agreed to do this and you will have to wait to find out what I am doing until the website is launched. : )

and remeber: Keep Kicking and Punching and Grappling and one day you will get that remote control from your dad. Persistence is key

Ciao for now

Posted by: alex campbell on July 10, 2003 12:18 AM

Hi there peeps, this place has gone silent again. Would anyone be kind enough to pass on Danny's email to me? Or if you do not wish to give me it, please pass mine on to him kindofmagic@mail.com I am also a geordie and I would like to talk to him about were he trains and what he has been up to etc. Paul also seems to have kept a low profile, I would have thought as he won Fight School he would be the one trying to keep it going as well. Anyway, ciao for now

OH MY GOD!!! hi this is the one and only "Andrew FIGHT SCHOOL Spink" lol, god i havent been on in ages cos i couldnt find the page with the search. reading some of the comments since i was last on was cool, Don did i talk in my sleep? and i didnt know they get to win a red hot date with me but ok then why not! Hi Toby why u quite dude, havent seen or spoke to u since we arrived in Beijing, shame i wasnt in fS when u were cos i would have loved to fight you like on the training day. Ice and mics thanks for the birthday message cant believe im 22 now, f**k im old. hope you all doing fine and keep the messages flooding in and paul dont steal my cathphrase ok thats mine, lol.

Keep on Kickin!

Posted by: on July 16, 2003 06:33 PM

Sorry for stealing your catchphrase Andrew, I was running out of things to say. So did the main contestants get to meet all the reserves? I assume you all flew over together? How did Toby get picked out of all the reserves, was it a case of pulling a name out of a hat or something?

Anyway enough questions, I have been on you site recently Andrew and downloaded some movie clips, I like the Capoiera kick but the landing on the jump split left a lot to be desired.

Does anyone have any contact with Allie, Paul, Dominica or Susan? They don't seem to want to join the fun a frolics.

Ciao for now

Don, M, Alex, im loving your work!

keep on kickin!

Posted by: Andrew Spink on July 30, 2003 12:11 AM

How did all the FS students get on the show, were talent scouts sent out to all the major clubs in certain areas? Did the students get to meet the Shifu's before heading off to China or was the first you met when they introduced themselves on the show?

Posted by: Paul Hanson on July 30, 2003 01:04 PM

Hi paul, no basically for me i dont know about the others but one of the reasearches had heard of me before and called me and said would i like to audition so i said yes and was sent a form to fill in, but i think you just had to go on the sky 1 website and download a form to audition. before going to china we all had to meet up for a training day in reading. i stayed the night up there before the training day and meet danny and sue first, the next day we went to a school or college and used a hall where we met up with the rest of the gang and we met the masters except the megatron, and they put us through some small challenges to give us an understanding of what we would be doing. we also had a photoshoot that day for sky publicity and went through phycologocal tests to check we wernt mad ( so how don got through that bit baffles me :) only kiddin don)

after that day we didnt meet until we left for china.

take care all

keep on kickin

Posted by: Andrew Spink on July 30, 2003 01:26 PM

So all that bit about "I am Shifu Clive" that was just for viewer refernce. Did anyone their like the megatron, I know Danny said he did, but everyone else seemed to dislike his manner. Do you think he was a bit over the top I mean it wasn't boot camp.

I have seen one of Danny's films too, he sent it to me as I only live a few miles away from him. Its called The Jade and it is really good, i think he directed it too. Great film.

Anyway, does anyone else from FS want to get into film work, I have noticed that some of the students were already actors. Danny, Don, M doing theatre work etc.

paul, in the wushuonefamily mpg clip, i think don was there... i'm not that sure, but i think so.. all the best, yours truly..

Posted by: ice on August 1, 2003 07:14 PM

Thanks Ice, downloaded it, you can't really see him to good but it does look a lot like him. Also the description says he is on it so i will beleive it for now : ) Also whilst searching the site i discovered that Don withdrew from the UK Championships 2003, why was this Don? Injury, Flu, the trots?????

Posted by: Paul Hanson on August 4, 2003 12:12 PM

yeah it is me on the mpg. keep checking the site its the coolest wu shu site on the net. for all u danny lovers his club is hosting a lion dance contest soon. don

Posted by: on August 5, 2003 12:36 AM

Which one are you Don? What flip are you performing? I downloaded a clip of Yen Wen Qing doing Chang Quan and he is amazing, its from 1990. Is he or was he well known for being the best or something? His jump spin kicks are like 8 foot up in the air.

Posted by: father_ches? on September 3, 2003 08:29 PM

Hi all andrew here from Fight School, just to let you know that there is a nice article on Don Klass in Combat Martial Arts Magazine. So go out and buy it now, well done Don you rock buddy!!!!!

May the Wu be with you

Posted by: Andrew Spink on September 12, 2003 10:48 AM

Hi people ! Last year I saw fightschool on Dutch television. It is one (so not) the best martial arts program I ever saw on television. For everybody who doesn't know this: Paul won in Fightschool 1. I have read some things here of Fightschool 2. If there really is a second part I can't wait to see it! greetings from The Netherlands!

Posted by: Kelvin van Wolferen on September 23, 2003 08:51 AM

hi kelvin this is andrew from Fight School, i was the first out. Glad u enjoyed the show it was tought but we all gave it 100%, the rest of the fight school gang are amazing people. gotta love em!

hi guys, keep on kicking

Posted by: andrew spink on September 29, 2003 12:25 PM

Hey folks,

I train at Andrew's school and all I can say is that he's the best instructor around. Being biased I would have to say he should have won, but all the contestants were fantastic anyway and those I've met all seem to be great people too.

I recommend the school to anyone in the area.

Posted by: Paul Byron on September 29, 2003 01:52 PM

Posted by: Andrew Spink on September 30, 2003 03:09 PM

Hi all this is Andrew from Fight School here,i know there are some mad fight school die hard fans around and you are all really in to it so bad, well i have a pair of my trainers that i bought especially for when i went to china and they are a bit worse for wear now over a year and a half on, my girlfriend said it was time to get a new pair, so i have finally agreed to. The pair im giving away i wore on the set of fight school when entering and walked in them all around china, plus i have done some mad kicks and tricks in them so they have had some good use. Rather than throw them away i thought id give them away to the first person on here who tells me why they want them, ill even sign them too! now i know don klass might want them cos he's my biggest fan :)but im giving them to the public, i await your replys

keep on kicking!

Posted by: Andrew Spink on October 1, 2003 11:32 AM

Hey guys, I have just started cross training in Kickboxing and as such have gotten into the sport of K1. I was wondering if any of the fight school pupils had actually ever fought about either K1 or UFC fighting? Also does anyone talk to or have contact with Paul Bernard he seems to be the most elusive of the bunch, well him and Allie. If anyone has contact info for Paul or Allie please email it to me, (well see if its ok with them first of course). Its a shame the 2nd series had to be halted due to SARS, do you know if they are still planning to do it though?

Posted by: Paul Hanson on October 3, 2003 08:44 AM

You ppl know Emma from fight school was well fit, she was reason enough to watch. Good series too. Some talented fighters but, I know I can do better. Can't wait for the second series.

Don't think am a fool for writing such nonesence.

Cos if you don't know me, then you have no right to judge me.

U ppl think there r good fighters out there 2day. You wait and c whats commin. :)

Posted by: John on October 3, 2003 09:07 PM

How can you possibly say you can do better, all you saw was an edited version made to fit one week into one hour. I do not know what happened ALL of the time but getting up at 5 and doing what they did all day every day for 2 weeks takes a lot of stamina and endurance. You say they don't know you so they can't judge you, well you cannot make an educated judgment yourself without all the facts.

Love all fight school peeps

Regards
Paul

Posted by: Paul Hanson on October 4, 2003 12:38 AM

thanks for that paul, thats correct we wouldnt judge you john so dont judge us, it was so hard and we all found it dificut so i know anyone else out there would too! too bad you wont ever experience that though unlike the 10 of us did

keep on kickin folks!

Posted by: andrew spink on October 4, 2003 02:39 AM

o.k. Ye I made an assumption of how fight school was for the contestants by making out it was easy and saying I could do better. Av got a bad habit of writtin or sayin things that give the wrong impression of me to ppl.
Ye they worked there asses off for 2 weeks but, Some of the fights where just a mess. There wasn't any technique, it was just sprays of punches and kicks that had no real target. So what I mean is ye it was a rough two week but still the fights could have been better. And I say that with no disrespect, it's just one persons opinion.
One last thing. Can't remember his name. That lad that was in the final three ppl, it was emma, paul and another lad and he was a gimp. Someone should have just propper smacked him. How could ye put up with him.

Posted by: John on October 5, 2003 03:23 PM

cheers paul mate, paul does have a very good point the editing of the program did not show the tecniques shown. the area was very large which meant the fights contained alot of movement. a fighers movent is half his of her fight( Muhammed ali!). The program edited out the movment which did not allow a fully painted picture of the fight! Also the rules which we fought under did not allow all styles to show if there fighting methods. but i agree some of the fights did bit contain enough technique! but hay that happens in any level of fighting! cheers

Posted by: alex campbell on October 5, 2003 07:07 PM

Hi gang , been a long time since i posted anything. and it may seem shallow to post a message to want something. but i wont those trainers andrew, and the reason being i need motivation , i studied a few different martial arts but however i soon stoped. with the trainers ill never stop kicking!!!

Have fun!

Posted by: whykay on October 5, 2003 11:11 PM

ppl like quoting other fighters on here don't they. Feel free to use your own material ppl. The world don't need copies, just more origionals. I know what you mean though when ye say that we only saw the edited version, they could have added abit more to it. All in all though I loved watchin fight school, it had bad points but it was still class. Propper gutted when danny and that other lad went though, funny guys. They should repeat it or bring it out on dvd with some good special features aswell.

How many of the contestants look on here anyway?

hi adelle if you want my trainers then there yours, give me adress and ill send them too you, yea i have done loads of mad kicks in them and there were like i said in fight school ( check out first show when we all walk into FS and u can see them. I'll sign them too ok, Hi alex mate how u keeping! John like alex said it was edited loads but also when ur training all day long and your body aches from head to toe its difficult to fight giving it 100% when we were all completely drained. If each of us were fresh before the fights we all would have done much better.

Don told me he has a small part in a film soon so welldone matey!

Bye all, Keep on Kicking!

cheers john yeah fight school did have bad points it hada alot but it was the first martial arts show of its kind to be released on tv so it was gonna have some sore points. you have to look at people that have achived and use wat they took a life time to achive to yor benefit thats how people progress no one is truely orginal but evouloutions of the past why try and re invent the wheel? if you are to become a better fighter you have to see hows its done first before you adapt it! alie had fantastic movement, bruce had the quickest side kick in the world gearge foreman had the hardest punch, looking up to them is no crime its how one progresses!

Posted by: alex campbell on October 9, 2003 09:41 PM

Hi alex how u keeping dude, hope ur training is going well. i test for my 3rd degree black belt in a couple of weeks and am competing in bristol tomorrow so that should be fun, hope ur pushing ur limits.

Keep in touch mate

Hi guys its M from fight school.how my 2 favourite boys doin?(thats u guys andrew and alex!)i just want to say to john you made me laugh readin your comments, you have absolutly NO idea! and now unfortunatly for u you may never know. did u audition 4 fs2? maybe what u wanted to c in the fights were what u see in choreographed fight scenes in films etc but u have to remember this was real and like the boys said we had weeks of tourture before we fought everythin took its tole the heat especially and with all the paddin, the lack of food and energy not to mention challenges,trainin and punnishment all before a 3 round fight so yeah john our fights could have been and would have been much better if we were at home fightin but we wernt and im sure we all gave it as best as we could at the time! i dont mean to get at u i just want u to try and understand!
i did a sugar puffs commercial the other day with danny and don it was wicked i was surrounded by 20 martial artist and all boys except me and the lovely chloe bruce,wot a lovely girl and fab martial artist. danny is cool,as lovely as ever and don is a busy boy at the mo doin well. he says hi to u guys too!
spoke to emma yesterday she is still trainin hard for the stunt register...u go girl! well take care guys, M
P.S. GOOD LUCK FOR YA GRADIN ANDREW U WILL BE WICKED AS USUAL! xx

Posted by: M on October 10, 2003 05:47 PM

I do know what u mean M but ain't nobady can say I have no idea. Ye I didn't do the fight school thing, I would have liked to give it a go, but am goin to train in China soon anyway for a year to extend my martial arts abilitys so it ain't so bad. But I do know about workin hard cos only yesterday I had a full contact fight in trainin with a bouncer who kickboxes at the same studio as me who weighed a good 5 or 6 stone heavier than me. I did win but I didn't come out the ring unharmed even though I had the sparring gear on. I go runnin every day, I train on my weights every day, i don't smoke, drink or do drugs. I constantly work hard to improve. So ye I didn't do fight school which is a shame and I don't know how hard it was for u but I still work my ass off here everyday and i get a kickin every now and again but it's all part of learnin. But like I said, I liked fight school and was gutted when it finished. Can't wait for fight school 2.

Posted by: John on October 10, 2003 08:01 PM

Posted by: m on October 11, 2003 01:40 PM

Hi M how did you get into that sugar puffs ad. I wanna do stuff like that i think i could, can't wait to see that on TV. Say hi to don and chloe bruce rocks. Just did a tournament yesterday and came 1st in forms and weapons and won the Grand Champion trophy. These trophies are the biggest ever, they are each about 3 feet tall, WOW. They even introduced me to the tournament as being off Fight School so i got pestered all day but it was fun, Eight of my students came up and competed and we came back with 9 trohpies so that was a great result.

Hope to see ya soon M

Take care all, Keep on Kickin!

Posted by: Seyru on October 26, 2003 09:54 AM

I'm getting the feeling that there isn't gonna be a FS website anymore.Can anyone tell me if i'm right?Me and Seyru were thinking of creating THE figh school website but since there is not much info about fs on the web we'll need everyone who competed together(on MSN or AIM that is).So,for the FS people who visit this place often *looking at Paul and Andrew* please email me.

Posted by: Jay on October 26, 2003 02:44 PM

She has... but I sent her an email back to send me as much photos as she can about FS. But that was like 3 days ago and she hasn't replied to that yet. Also Andrew...I believe u said u would send me some photos too right? I emailed Emma like a week ago but she hasn't replied either.

Posted by: Jay on November 3, 2003 02:56 PM

Hi all,
Here in Israel we only get to watch Fight School now. I've just finished watching episode 5 (actually I only started to watch from episode 4) and I love every minute of it. Sure, there are some ridiculous TV elements like the master's assistants and their shiny outfits, but on the whole it's a wicked show.
I especially like Emma. She seems like a good person as well as an excellent fighter. It's a pity she hasn't won (which I know from reading all the messages above here).
Keep writing and let us know what's going on with everyone.
Tammy
