Clever writer Antonio Graceffo to be martial arts consultant for the History Channel
Graceffo had this to say about being selected to work on the show. “When they called me and told me about the show, I laughed. I said, that just sounds like my real life.”
Graceffo, a former investment banker, left the financial world after the September 11 terrorist attacks. For the last six years he has been traveling around Asia, studying martial arts, fighting, and writing books and magazine articles.
“Basically, my role in the show, in addition to appearing on camera a bit, was to seek out, train with, and spar as many of the masters as I could to see which ones would be good for the show. It’s been grueling, but fun, rolling, wrestling, and kick boxing with some excellent martial artists.”
In addition to “Human Weapon,” Graceffo will appear on another History Channel show, called “Digging for the Truth,” in an episode featuring Angkor Wat, which airs in September.
“The connection between Cambodian Martial
Art, Bokator, and Angkor Wat is a deep spiritual relationship which the
Khmer people are very proud of. They asked me to come on the show and
demonstrate Bokator and explain some of the history.”

Rudolph
Delson is the son of Rosemarie Delson, a very close friend
of the editor, so of course, even though Rudy hasn't published anything
with us, he deserves our congratulations. He has written a novel,
soon to be published, called
Maynard and Jennica,
and he has a website that he'd like you to visit. His mom calls him
Rudy, so click here to visit
Rudy's website.
Akiva
Schaffer is the son of Clever contributor Patty Schaffer.
Patty is so proud of extremely-talented Akiva for directing his
first hit movie, Hot Rod.
It has opened to mixed reviews but promises to be one of those
summer blockbuster movies that makes a ton of money. The movie was
recently reviewed by "the boys" and got one "thumbs up" but much
praise for Akiva. We are expecting even greater things from Akiva in
the future. In the meantime Patty is making her own utube movie, a
retrospective on her film career. We'll give out a link to it very
soon.
