The fact that AKTA was the only American Kenpo Association in London aroused interest of the major Martial Arts magazines in Mr Antoniades, who often carry articles and features on him. It was one of these articles that has now made it possible for the AKTA to promote Kenpo through films.

It was after a feature in one of these magazines that Mr Antoniades was approached by a production company (Red Moon Productions) to appear in the feature film "Ashes to Ashes", apart from appearing in the film he eventually ended up choreographing most of the fight scenes - Athos comments: "I was sitting around one day waiting to go on set when the director asked for my opinion of a certain fight scene. I showed them the techniques 'Evading the Storm' and 'Flashing Mace' and that was it. I was immediately promoted to Fight Co-ordinator"

Athos enjoyed working on the film so much that he wrote his own story line and made his own 'short' Kenpo action packed film "The Chase" - which is very loosely based on an experience he had once encountered involving a group of your girls in danger. It had always been his intention to make a series of training tapes, so he uniquely combined his first tape on the "Principles of American Kenpo", covering Power, Speed, Distance, No Mind Peripheral Vision, etc. with "The Chase".
