Robert Alonzo’s journey through the film business began early on in the city of Angels. He started with a passion for animation at age six, when he began drawing flip pages of his favourite cartoons. He focused on this craft until he was introduced to martial arts at an early age. Martial arts would ultimately turn into a lifelong obsession for Robert. He trained incessantly and eventually earned black belts in Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido, training under Grandmaster Jun Chong. Robert’s devotion to martial arts was fueled by his hunger for knowledge of all martial arts styles and disciplines. This passion led him to broaden his training, become proficient in multiple martial arts disciplines, and compete and excel in various international martial arts competitions. Although Robert had a deep passion for martial arts, he never forgot his childhood dreams of filmmaking. After graduating from Loyola High School in Los Angeles, he received an academic scholarship to attend Loyola Marymount University (LMU), where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Arts and Communication Studies while minoring in Animation and Business Marketing. This is where Robert trained under Dan McLaughlin and made his first hand-drawn animated senior thesis film titled “The Dive of Life." After graduating from LMU, Robert dabbled in the commercial world as a junior art director at Envision Group, but ultimately his love for martial arts and film came calling and led him to become a stunt performer.
