SHORT CUT FILM

"The Short Cut" was a film Nicky decided to create with some of my more well know clients in Los Angeles as a way of letting  people know with the right training there is nothing you can not achieve.
Before this film Nicky had no gymnastics or parkour training but used his methods to teach himself what he needed to know.
Please enjoy....... and a big thank you to Robbie and Ayda Williams and The host of The Batchelor Chris Harrison for taking their time to be in it!

THE BADAZZ VEGAN

Nicky Holender has long been a passionate advocate for a plant-based lifestyle—without judgment. As he always says, it’s not a zero-sum game: the more fruits and vegetables you add to your diet, the better—even if it’s just 10% or 20% more. We all have to find what works for us, but if you can incorporate a little more plant-based eating into your routine, you’ll experience the benefits.

 

On a mission to show that plant-based food doesn’t have to sacrifice flavor, Nicky created his first TV pilot, The Badazz Vegan. Take a look, and see if you can find a dish or a night to enjoy a delicious plant-based meal of your own!
