It was second time lucky for George Sampson on the Britain’s Got Talent semi final tonight.

George auditioned last year but failed to make it into the semi-finals. Tonight he performed a street dance routine to the Sinatra classic, Singin In The Rain. At the end of the show he got the most votes and has now made it to Saturday’s final.

Joining George in the final are martial arts duo, Strike. Liam Richards and Daniel Ball took the Judges vote over ten year old Charlie Green. You gotta feel bad when the kids miss out. Read more & comment »

Daniel started martial arts at the age of 13, he lives and breathes it and has got most of his family into it now (Mum is a black belt). He now runs his own school which is part of the “Premier Martial Arts” based in Doncaster. Liam has been doing martial arts since he was seven and is a third degree black belt. Six months ago Liam also set up his own school in Sheffield. Daniel and Liam met at XMA, a group that runs performances and competitions for Extreme Martial Arts. They have travelled the world both together and separately competing and doing demonstrations, they even toured with Jean Claude Van Damme when he was doing martial arts seminars across the globe. Both dream of being film stunt men one day and are hoping that Britain’s Got Talent will help get them noticed and raise the profile of martial arts in the UK. Read more & comment »
