#ANDREA ANACONDA MOVIE#
I was the kid who brought all the crazy movies to the movie nights we had as kids. I watched Evil Dead, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc at a quite young age. I have always be a Horror Fan since I was a kid. So Alex and Andrea, I love your podcast, I look forward to the next episode and greetings from Belgium! But we also had a slew of great indie horror movies: the babadook, a girl walks home alone at night, it follows, starry eyes,… The last few years we had a revival in horror blockbusters: the conjuring, the purge, insidious, the lazarus effect, paranormal activity,… Some of them good. It’s interesting how it all seemed so real when I was a six year old.Īnyway I agree with most of what you guys said about horror blockbusters in this episode. A few years ago I rewatched it and couldn’t understand how that piece of CGI shit scared me so mush. I also have pretty strong memories of The Haunting(1999) in that it scared me to death. I think the first “horror” film I saw was Anaconda. I developed a love for horror when I was about 6 but because I was born in 1995 the first horror movies I saw were pretty shitty. The event in will be held in Nippon Budokan, an indoor venue located in Tokyo's Kitanomaru Park which hosted judo events at the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games.I found The Faculty of Horror about 2 months ago and by now I’ve listened to every episode. The Olympic kata competition begins on August 5th. "As a measure of how outstanding this selection is, in excess of 190 countries and more than 10 million people around the world compete in karate so to make it to the Olympic Games is extremely difficult." "Andrea is a hard worker, a wonderful person and we are grateful she is part of Karate New Zealand," said Holland. Karate New Zealand President Grant Holland says Andrea is a fantastic ambassador for their sport. "And remember, once an Olympian, always an Olympian - congratulations!" There may be laughter, there may be tears, but celebrate the moment and the challenge, the inspiration, the excitement and the adventure," said Magee. "The Olympics are a rare honour and experience. Magee also competed at the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games and has fond memories of his time in Japan. Village resident and Olympic bronze medallist (Rome 1960, marathon), Barry Magee, presented Anacan with a fern to formally welcome her to the Olympic team. The athlete performed some of her routine for residents and took them through some basic kata drills. "I didn't grow any taller, I'm still 4ft11 but it's actually really beneficial for kata because my centre of gravity is lower."Īnacan finished seventh at the 2018 Karate World Championships and has been working towards the New Zealand Olympic team since then.Īnacan is known for getting out and about in the community and today was no different, with her naming taking place at the Murray Halberg Retirement Village in Auckland. Because he told me that I can't reach my opponents when I'm fighting and they're so much taller than me and with a longer reach. "Sensei told me when I was 14, 'if you don't grow any taller in a year, you'll stop competing in kumite and do kata'.
#ANDREA ANACONDA SERIES#
Kata is a performance discipline where athletes perform a series of offensive and defensive moves popularly known as forms. It was on Ling's advice that Anacan gave up competing in the contact version of karate, kumate, and chose to focus on the non-contact version of kata instead.
"My mum gave me an option between ballet or karate, apparently I told her, 'well, what's going to happen if I get kidnapped? Do you want me to dance in front of them? Or do you want me to fight them off?"Īnacan moved to New Zealand with her family aged 12, where she linked up with sensei Johnny Ling. There's been a lot of hard work, I can't quantify the hours that me and my sensei have put in, we never could have imagined this but I couldn't be more excited."Īnacan was born in the Philippines and began the sport at age four due to it's practical applications.
"I didn't ever dream of going to the Olympics when I started this sport, it's been a bit of a surprise to be honest. "It means the world to me to be part of this New Zealand Team," said Anacan. Karate is making its debut at the Tokyo Olympics.Īnacan says she's honoured to represent New Zealand and karate. She will compete in the non-contact kata competition. The 30-year-old has officially been added to the New Zealand Team for Tokyo 2020.
