Martial arts tricks

[Ricotricks]

over the last 2 or 3 years i've been into this off and on. it's basically martial arts but incorporating gymnastics or vice versa. if you're familiar with the martial art capoeira (eddy from the tekken series does it), that is sort of what it's like. there are lots of good videos online with this.
www.bilang.com is good
www.trickstutorials.com is for people wanting to get advice, and it has a good community kindof like gtplanet's with lots of forums.

basically you self-teach everything unless someone near you does this as well. because of this it's kind of dangerous but it definitely pays off when you can do awesome moves. there are also gatherings a few times a year where people that do this get together. previous ones have been in new york, maryland, and toronto. all the people that are into this are really cool and these gatherings are lots of fun, and you get to show your online friends what you have learned. so check it out and tell me what you think. i'm Rico on the trickstutorials.com forums

I've just begun lessons in Muay Thai and BJJ.👍

 

[smellysocks12]

My best trick is down, forward, square, circle, X.







On a more serious note, I doubt it's a good idea if everyone would start trying to do these tricks at home without anybody around who actually knows about what they are doing. While doing these things by yourself you can't see whether you do them right, in karate training I still get yelled at even if I think I do it correctly.



*edit*


The stretch exercises are good, I do most of those before any training. You can't do anything wrong with that if you just look at the pics + description.

 

[PS]

Does anyone know of an Aikido studio in southern ontario?

 

[smellysocks12]

www.google.com <--- They know




By the way Aikido is for old people and women. One of my friends does it for about half a year and all he learned is how to roll on the ground. I'm sure if you did it for over 10 years that it can be handy, but until then it's crap.

...**** jobs?


hahaha, just kidding. i'm a fan of the MAs but i never really got into them. i don't have the time or the dough, unfortunately.

i'd really like to get into sword fighting and the like, but it's super expensive. i was shocked when i realized how expensive kendo would be. (it's just a stick, COME ON!) lol.

edit: wow, i thought that would be censored...sorry. i went ahead and asterisked it.

 

[smellysocks12]

I don't think Kendo would be any more expensive than for example Ice Hockey or Football, you'd need to buy the uniform, shoes, protection, ball, puck, stick whatever. Yes, I'm sure those kendo swords are expensive, but that's because not that many are being sold. How many people do you know that are into kendo?

You guys do now that because you know a MA you will still get your ass kicked by the local pub brawlers.

 

[smellysocks12]

I don't think you know what you're talking about. My sensei won't get his ass kicked by a pub brawler... as a matter of fact he's been kicking out pub brawlers for years as a bouncer.


If you're good at effective martial arts you won't get your ass kicked by a single person unless they attack you from the back.

I used to do Capoeira when I was 16/17. I started just to learn backflips and these cool tricks, but I never did lol.

Isn't that a martial art disguised as a dance? Derived from Brazilian slaves at one point, to teach and learn a fighting strategy without being caught, so they'd have a chance to escape? I think it's something like that from a long time ago.

Half a year? Rolling on the ground? That's all you learn from ANY MA studio in 6 months. That's about all I learned in 6 months of judo, it's not until your yellow belt that anything good starts happening. And then the brown belt is where your skills actually start helping.

And young warrior, anyone trained in a Martial Art could kick Drederick Tatum or Mohammed Ali's ass. A level 2 black belt Kung Fu master can legally be charged with assault with a deadly weapon if he abuses his skill during a tussle.

Or he could kill him in 3 seconds with 1 hand. I know people that can do it. Even RCMP officers can only get away with 6-second bare-handed kills. Judo, Muay Thai, Thai Kwan Do, Karate, Kung Fu, Jujitsu, Ninjitsu, and Aikido are all very deadly practises and are extremely lethal when taken seriously.

I used to watch Gundam, so I decided to challenge my friend who knew Kendo to a duel, like back in 6th grade. It was a humbling experience, and I've been a beliver ever since.

It's entirely possible, but your opinion is a little off. That's like telling people at the racing school, "You guys might have spent hours training, but you'll never be as good as the street racers." Odds are, people who actually study and work on their fighting skills will be a better fighter.

Just want to elaborate.

What I mean is unless your top of your game and are a master you will get your bum cheeks handed to you.

Its also very nice that a MA pro can kill some one with 1 strike but theyre not exactly going to do that now in a street fight are they. Not worth risking going to jail over a few cuts and bruises.

Now the reason why a average MA person will get kicked in still is because what you learn is in the security of the dojo and you wont be prepared for a real life situation to put your skills at use unless you have been practisisng that MA for years and years.

In my school we had some karate champ of europe or the world or something like that but he still got kicked in by another boy in my school.

Obviously a if you put a pro MA person against a bpro boxer the MA person will win but in the street MA can be pretty much useless at a night out at town.

 

[Giancarlo]

Aikido isn't an offensive martial art, it's more of a defensive one. You're supposed to completely stop an opponent's attack.

It's the most effective martial art, in my eyes.

 

[Ram-Rod]

Ahh yes. Good old Karate. Im into the sport myself. Blue belt going for Purple. Hope to have Red by end of year .

Purple > Red > Brown > Black?

Good job 👍

Not really. Maybe at any Aikido, judo and jiu jitsu dojo.... but not all martial arts studios. Only the ones that really involve throwing. But these close contact / throwing / submission martial arts don't appeal to me anyway. Not disrespecting any of these sports though.


As a kid I tried to mess with this smaller kid with big glasses who knew judo, I knew it was effective while I was on the floor with him choking the hell out of me. These days the same guy is one of my best buddies though.... and he quit judo.

 

[ExigeEvan]

Purple > Red > Brown > Black?

Good job 👍

Nah, here (UK) it's white > red > yellow > Orange > green > blue > purple> brown > brown > brown > black.

I'm purple.

I've competed in Karate competitions up to a European level and TBH I haven't done that well, only a round or 2.

In my school we had some karate champ of europe or the world or something like that but he still got kicked in by another boy in my school.

Meh, he might have a club that's competition on;y thing. And in competition you fight to rules.

I know you are tall, but maybe you were just extremely wimpy.

I have a brown belt. I never use it, but it's reversible to black. Oh, and it's Tommy Hilfiger. 👍

Wait... so the the average local pub brawler has a better chance of owning the average MA guy?

I'm purple.

In my dojo (Dutch, Wado-ryu) it's

white > yellow > orange > green > blue > blue II > brown > brown II > 1 st dan (black)


I'm yellow, yeah long way to go but I only started a year ago.

I know you are tall, but maybe you were just extremely wimpy.

Back then I was tall and skinny. Now I'm tall and not skinny. Back then I couldn't fight. Now I still can't fight but getting the hang of it.

 

[ExigeEvan]

Wado ryu? That's body-evasion right? That's the style I do.

 

[smellysocks12]

Yeah, it's the flowing style where you go along with the other's attacks. Not hard to hard like kyokushinkai (one of my friends does that), but more dynamic than shotokan.

I haven't heared of kyokushinkai, but there's a few shotokan clubs around here aswell.

My club is supposed to be having a fight off with a local Kung-fu club in October/November and possibly annother one with a Jujitsu (sp?) club sometime.

Yeah, when you play capoeira theres little to none contact with the other persons, it´s more of a visual thing.

And a good MA to use on a street fight is Gracie´s Jiu Jitsu. If you´re good at it you can beat any guy, no matter how big he is because you use his strenght against him. But using MA skills to fight people on the street is not cool, unless you have to.

 

[Young_Warrior]

No not average guy.

Lets say the MA guy is just a average guy and has never had a fight in real life. Then thers some 25 year old by the bar who has had plenty of fights and can fight pretty good. Even if the MA guy is a black belt he will still probably lose against the 25 year old brawler.

There are several books written about this subject in which they explain why MA is pretty much useless in a street fight unless our a pro.

If I knew jiu jitsu and was a black belt mike tyson would still knock me out.

Tyson's like one in a million specimen though, you are not. How about Tyson with a black belt against Tyson without it? Who'd win then?

There are different types of capoeira.... one that is more like dancing, one that you see around the most, but also full contact. That style is usually found in Brazil more. Though capoeira isn't really the most efficient style unless you're playing tekken.

I haven't heared of kyokushinkai.

It's pretty much close to kickboxing actually, most K1 karateka do this style. Only with karate rules they're not allowed to punch in the face.

That depends on the school you go to. In a good school you get sparring training and real fights. That way you know how to handle a real life situation well. If you have a black belt with any martial art and can't defend yourself in any real life situation this can be blamed on that one particular school, not the fighting style in general. Just have a look at www.bullshido.com ... a site that is pretty much built to prevent people to start training at a so called belt factory where you only have to walk katas and kick imaginary targets. You might as well do tae bo if that's all they do there.
