The trailer below is for Aidan’s first short film. The film was produced by Hammerstein and features Aidan’s empty hand (traditional and CMX) martial arts.
The video below was taken at the opening of the 2014 Shotojuku Fall Intramural tournament. Aidan, at 8 years old, performs the karate kata Anan.
The demo reel below was made to coincide with the release of the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. In this video he wields the weapon used by a turtle while wearing a shirt matching the color of the turtle’s headband. He is one of very few people in the world who can wield all four TMNT weapons using both traditional and creative techniques. He may be possibly the youngest who has ever done so at 8 years old. In addition to the double sword, double chux, bo and sai, Aidan is has also trained with the Okinawan tunfa, eku and Eskrima yantok.
