A BAFTA winning screenwriter, penning multi-award winning films for
luminaries such as Ray Winstone, Paddy Considine, Orlando Bloom, Maxine
Peake, Anne Reid, Alison Steadman and James Cosmo, Geoff Thompson is
also one of the world's highest ranking (8th dan) martial arts teachers.
The prestigious Black Belt Magazine USA polled him as the most
influential martial artist in the world since Bruce Lee. Further to his
bestselling first memoir, Watch My Back, Geoff is often asked to fill in
the gaps of his fascinating and inspirational life story by eager fans.
How did he manoeuvre himself from a tiny room in a Coventry bedsit to
the hallowed halls of BAFTA Piccadilly? How did he transcend his
designated class and matriculate into a reality where class holds no
relevance? What was the trajectory, and who did he meet along the way -
who were the angels and demons of destiny? And what can we learn from
his incredible journey? Ultimately people want to know the real Geoff,
the inner thoughts, the essentials of his pilgrimage, the lessons of his
unique experiences. Or more succinctly, now that he's made it this far,
'what does he actually know?'. Notes From A Factory Floor has the
answers and is the ideal read for anyone who feels there is more to
life. Geoff is the proof.
