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.

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell the guest speaker at Llanelli Rotary Club

Image
Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of Llanelli Rotary Club held at the Stradey Park Hotel. Mr Wardell gave an illuminating address, weaving comparisons between his job as a politician and his late father's job as a Tumble barber. It was an amusing, highly-entertaining and thought-provoking address. Mr Wardell, now 69, won the Gower constituency seat in a Parliamentary by-election in 1982. The Labour MP held the seat until his retirement in 1997. He now works as a public affairs consultant in Wales. Mr Wardell's Parliamentary term was largely in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government. But his did make a significant contribution by being the youngest MP to chair the Welsh Affairs Select Committee. Mr Wardell recognised that in the 'fame stakes' he may have played second fiddle to his father, Jack, who was one of the UK's oldest barbers and who cut and styled hair for almost 80 years. Jac

Ammanford-based Lauryn Davey is making a major mark in the world of Welsh athletics. At just 16, she is the best all-round athlete of her age in Wales. She's chalking up Welsh championship victories and has been honoured by her club, the Carmarthen Harriers. Lauryn's been earmarked as a future international star, but knows the road to the big championships is difficult, demanding and expensive.

"Everyone in the area is hugely proud of her achievements in athletics to date," said Phil. "But we also want to see her go on and do bigger and better things.
