JOEY ANSAH - A British Action Star is Bourne!
The Bourne Ultimatum was the blockbuster action thriller of 2007. Loved by film fans and well-received by critics the movie was a perfect blend of action and story, superbly acted and featuring a fight scene between Matt Damon as Jason Bourne and Joey Ansah as a hitman that became an instant classic. British actor/martial artist Joey Ansah may not have been well-known Stateside prior to ‘The Bourne Ultimatum’ but that changed dramatically after the fight scene won numerous awards at various ceremonies. For Joey this recognition was reward for the effort he has put in ever since he was a youngster watching martial arts movies with his dad, everything from Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Van Damme and Loren Avedon to more obscure and rare fare. His cousin who used to train with Ray Park in Wushu and Joey and his brother also trained with Ray when he was seven - “So I guess you could say I started off with some Wushu, but I was young and did it sporadically with my cousin when he would come over, but never took it very far”...
During that time Joey’s aunt lived and taught English in Japan and she would send him books on Ninjutsu and he became fascinated with the art, becoming heavily involved later in Life. When Joey was nine his family moved from London to Accra in Ghana, where he lived and schooled for the next 5 years, taking up ITF Taekwondo in the process, gaining his junior blackbelt. “We trained hard and old school style in Ghana, training bare foot outside on a stone floor in bare feet, sparring with no padding etc. I had real good kicks back then and was very flexible.” The family returned to England when Joey was fourteen and after a few months high diving he started training in Bujinkan Ninjutsu. “I was very excited, as you can imagine, to find a real ninjutsu school after years of fantasizing about being a Ninja. The club was all adults, mostly armed forces personnel, Marines mainly and was very hardcore, the kind of training that you don’t find anymore!.."
