The name’s Wong, Dave Wong . . .but the gym’s one of the best



He’s featured in a James Bond film and is known as a top grade martial arts expert.
Now Bridgend-born actor Dave Wong is passing on his skills at a new martial arts academy which has just opened in Talbot Green.
The Sen Martial Arts Academy is Dave Wong’s bid to educate future generations in discipline, exercise and self defence.
“I’ve been very fortunate in life to pick up the key skills needed to fulfil a desire to perform to the highest standard,” said 52-year-old Wong.
“I’ve been able to combine my martial arts skills with my acting abilities and this new gym is my way of giving something back to the community to help others follow in my footsteps.
Wong was billed as ‘Shangai art collector’ in Skyfall, the record-breaking latest film in the James Bond catalogue.
“Any role, no matter how small, is a privilege when you are taking part in a James Bond movie. It is THE biggest movie franchise out there and I thoroughly enjoyed my time on set.”
Wong’s movie CV is building nicely. He appeared in Out for a Kill and has a part in the soon-to-be-released French film Turf.
“I have worked in film and TV since 1995. I have had the privilege of working on some really great movies, rubbing shoulders with some well known actors.
“I've also produced some short films. Although I'm based in Wales, I tend to find more work out of Wales. You have to travel for the parts.
“I tend not work in theatre, but I would love to do theatre every now again, just to mix it up a bit.”
Wong specialises in stage and screen fight training. He hopes to pass these skills on to students at the Sen Martial Arts Academy.
He added: “Hopefully, the skills that they learn with me will help students secure auditions in the world of TV and film acting.”
“I have always had a burning desire to perform at the highest standard and everything at the Sen Martial Arts Academy is dedicated to helping others reach similar heights.
“The academy is equipped with the best martial arts training gear. Meanwhile, I have the vision and a passion to teach martial arts to the highest standard.
“I have a wealth of experience to share and students will not only learn self defence skills but also life skills which will aid them in building a brighter future.
