One such benefactor, Kieran Tamondong, was recently part of a new Power Rangers campaign.
Sarah wrote about it for AWMA.

Actor Idris Elba’s attempts to become a professional kickboxer — and to make a document of the journey called Idris Elba: Fighter — have been a subject of some interest for the Risky Fuel household.
The Discovery channel has now released a “best bits” video for the first episode of the series.
Sarah wrote about it for Asian World Of Martial Arts.

Idris Elba
For fans of Stringer Bell, DCI John Luther or his real-life non-actor personification as Idris Elba, the idea of Elba embarking on a quest to become a pro kickboxer on the wrong side of 40 was… disconcerting.
Idris Elba: Fighter, the doc series that emerged from this journey, however, is entirely real and genuine.
Sarah watched and wrote about it for Fightland.

Playfair knows real tough, though. He encountered it the first time he got into a real fight.
He told Sarah about it in an interview for Fightland.

Letterkenny’s Andrew Herr
One of the comic foil’s on the v amusing smalltown Canadian comedy Letterkenny is the “Jonesy” the hockey player, played by Andrew Herr.
On the show Jonesy is a frequently posturing, not entirely successful tough guy.
It turns out one of Herr’s first fights — an incident involving pinched nipple, crying in front of his classmates and shame — wasn’t particularly successful either.
Sarah wrote about it in a My First Fight piece for Fightland.
