Well...I liked the heck out of it. I can't do that, not on my best day. Very nice. How long have you been tricking? What's your core MA style?

Thanks for sharing it!

Well, outside of athletic ability in a gymnastics sense, there is no relevance from a martial arts perspective IMHO.

If, as you say, you're using it as "an add on to my base style of Taekwondo", then you're reinforcing many martial artists opinions that TKD is little more than for flash, not for function, as a viable martial art.

My $.02 worth anyway.

I apologize for any incoveniences.

But it does look much cooler than the more effective, Randy Couture style of leaning on people.

I apologize for any inconveniences.

Well i will say that im definitely not going to go into the argument between styles on here as everyone is entitled their own opinion and each style is unique and effective in their own way.

However, i thought i would show a a way of bringing styles together in terms of combinations and techniques from different martial arts disciplines that could be used in martial arts demonstrations.

And i have seen those Randy Couture commercials. Taking nothing away from the awesome fighter that he was, i guess he was just used as a selling point in endorsing the product

I apologize for any inconveniences.

OK, coming from someone who does Capoeira, and uses cartwheels and back walkovers as part of their base style..

I don't like it. Specifically, you don't have control over your movements, and you are falling over at the end of the techniques. A lot of follow up techniques have the look of something you added to cover the fact that you would otherwise have fallen down. Any movement you do you need to be able to deal with sudden drastic changes. What if a small child ran under you while you were doing one of those techniques? If you can't change the technique to avoid landing on the kid, your technique is not viable.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

That's pretty cool. I've come close to doing a lot of these stuff but always manage to fall.

I've always wanted to do this stuff as I'd like to go into martial arts movie stunts one day. But I don't know what combination of conditioning and/or professional training I'm missing. I've been trying to find a gymnastics school that will take me but I haven't been having any luck because I'm over 18. Do you have any tips for someone like me to find what I need?

Try to find a parkour or freerunning group in your area. Tricking is more prevalent in the freerunners, though.

Check with all the local gymnastic gyms and see if they offer an open gym time and ask if they have any parkour or freerunners that use their space during it.
