karate girls with great show


Recommended Posts

I'd say the basic kicks need to be solid, but not always the stances. The punches definitely don't, they just have to be there once a while. Still cool to watch.

I know some people that do XMA. Its more like gymnastics with some kicks thrown in. For me it doesn't cover my definition of martial arts. But nevertheless it is very impressive and if thats what someone wants to do then great, I love to go and watch.

The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline.

Most of them are trained in martial arts as a base, some people just do the basic tricking, i saw one of Chloe Bruce's Team Fusion UK students at the Martial Arts Show in Birmingham, she was VERY good with a Bo Staff, not in the traditional fighting sense but very impessive nontheless :)

I think, on this video, karate is lost. The kata (if that's what it is supposed to be?) loses its meaning.

That will depend on what it means to each person, or, on what that person intends for it to mean at that particular point in time.

I disagree buddy, I used to teach XMA which is something that this video was definately displaying, it was created by Mathew Mullins and Mike Chat(now 4th dan ATA) it was mainly used to display a beyond mastery of the basics and making it something creative to ones personality, I would only suggest learning once one has reached black belt level and should never take over ones traditional style but it will help draw in more crowds as it is very awesome to watch. It was geared towards the teenage crowd as most schools lack teens and there seems to be more smaller children and adults.

I understand. But I don't stand up for doing that.

I mean that for me that is not what karate is for, but I agree with bushido_man96.

I agree, it is not what it is about but it is a part of it and it is modernizing whether we want it to or not. Traditional should always be priority before learning the flash stuff.
