fujita san Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 are flips and arial manuvers used in real fights on the street or are the hazardous
monkeygirl Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 I'm going to move this to the Strategies and Tactics forum. 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.
Kaminari Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 Flips? Not likely to be useful in a street fight. I can't see any use in them aside from looking cool. Although, one of my instructors from a previous dojo I attended did say he was able to perform a flip over a tall obstacle (couldn't remember what it was) when running from a big dog. Otherwise, stick to the ground in fights, and you'll be fine.
wu baitian Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 just taking a few stept back will have the same effect as a flip, and will keep your ballance eager to learn from theall-powerful baji god of pain
JusticeZero Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 Tumbling? Sure, if you know how to apply it. I know plenty of ways to turn a tumble into an attack. If it isn't part of your art and standard tactics, probably not so handy. Most people this is not part of your art.Aerials? No. Touch someone in the air in a way other than they expect and they drop crashing to the floor, often injuring themself. I have yet to hear a convincing reason why one would do it.

Sam Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 You cant adjust movement direction in the air so generally a bad idea....
Tyrant General Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 fliping in a fight? try it while sparring against one of your friends. you'll notice that it takes alot more energy out of you then just simply moving into a diffrent positionheres another thing, depending on the flip you do you lose site of your opponent just for a little bit. if he moved in a diffrent area while your flipping around he can catch you of guard.ohh and i should mention that if you do a flip in a fight you can injure yourself if you do the flip wrong.i say its a major hazard unless someone can prove me otherwise "In battle, confrontation is done directly, victory is gained by surprise"- Master Sun
JusticeZero Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 I do flip-like movements, I don't lose sight of my target, I can usually put a good kick or two into it which are, and I end in places I couldn't as easily have reached on foot. I'm used to having people kick at me when I do them. Mind you, modern handsprings are a no-go because I have to be able to stop the movement in between starting it and committing my weight to my hands; full modern flips are an aerial and aerials are suicide.

Tyrant General Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 I only said "depending on the flip you do"by the way. you know any good capoeira dojos in vegas? i'm thinking of doing that type fighting style.It looks enlightening "In battle, confrontation is done directly, victory is gained by surprise"- Master Sun
JusticeZero Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 None in my art that i've heard of. Probably there's one in some style of Capoeira, but i'm not aware of them. (Capoeira, as a term, isn't any more descriptive than a term such as Jujutsu, Karate, or the like. There's what amounts to ryus and such divided all over the place.)
