Best Musical forms of all time - Open - 1st to 10th

[cuentanoexistente]

"You may train for a long time, but if you merely move your hands and feet and junp up and down like a puppet, learning karate is not very different from learning a dance." Funakoshi Gichin

[cuentanoexistente]

Karate Dansu



[LetsDanceGermany]

kim do has +10 points, because of street fighter sound;) That shoryuken was of the hook^^ anyway, my favourite artist is steve terada, but his erformance in this video is horrible:(

[KajKaka1]

9 is wierd 8/

[DonovanSheehan]

2nd is my favorite by far. best of all time

[LetsDanceGermany]

"Guy flipping all over the place, doin flips n shit"

Camera Dude: "He messed uo"

lol

[cgh888]

Cheerleading + Tae Bo = Best Musical forms of all time

[itme20]

come on its his own list not the whole worlds thats what he thinks

[AlwaysEvan]

kim do always does the same set.

[Karategirlpro333]

@Feiky I totally agree , I'm 13 and i have been doing Japanese traditional shotokan karate for nearly 7 years . We train very hard and take our martial art not as a sport but as a never ending path ! We respect the founders such as funokoshi and train under his principles ! We do not wear multicolored gi's and train to music and we do not do flashy kicks and spins ! we complete all of our techiques with hips , power , compression-expansion and speed ! This is not karate ....

[Feiky]

I'm sorry, but I just can't appriciate this kind of "martial arts"... All show and too much drama... Typical American style.

[Davidkix]

there are some nice moves, but i prefer jean frenette style forms

[mazzmos]

Wow talk about butchering a song.

That final countdown opener was sooo bad.

[darthsushi13]

This is really great. Respect for these moves and thumps up.

[kingdomheartsninja00]

I agree number nine is shit on basic hand techincs I'm better with mine! Lol he is worse. Go Steve terada

[anthonygrig]

5:50 is it just me or does mat fall and use the splits as a cover up

[krtica2]

hey what's the song which plays at the beggining while Steve is performing ? :)

[chiilsonice]

Matt Emig #1 cleanest tricker in the world

[Ytirexted]

#8 - Kim Do the best ;) HADOUKEN!!!

[64lundyco]

#7 was good but there was no speed so the techniques looked weak

[carbonfiberkatana]

the order is all out of wack. matt emig is so good though. damn

[sanfour228]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssss

[GabrielToraTheOne]

impressive.

[angrymuffin123]

the number 9 guy had terrible hand techniques

[ichwillpizzajetzt]

nr 9 is shit, he can jump but dont knows how to punch or kick

[rvxxll]

eris super bueno para hacer eso me gustaria ser cmo tu asi q dame un consejo porfavor :D

[morefunnythenU]

ud think theyd get dissy

[zippoxl91]

I seriously doubt you've given Steve Terada a real chance. He may not be your favorite, so you probably haven't seen many of his forms, but there should no way in hell he or even Kim do should be that low on the list, i don't know. You should check out some of his forms.

[asandman94]

lol Matt Emig much? :P is k hes awsome but i also prefer marks forms better, to bad he didn't do his 1080 :C lol but mat emigs chucks owns all! :P

[dirtyfrogmann]

josh durbin? sage northcutt?

[SOCOMSoldier01]

this is the gayest shit i have ever seen.

[ScyllaIo]

Meh...I still prefer traditional forms to XMA stuff. They all seem the same to me. Start with a back/front flip. Land in the ground pound squat. Triple punch combo with either spinning neck chop or backswing. Lots of 360, 540 and 720 kicks. Lots and lots of flips between two or three techniques. It looks cool but after awhile it is just stale. I really want to see these people do real forms and real techniques. 

[bazrun]

kim do that was badass

[angrymuffin123]

idk about jeff robataille, he has nice tricks but terrible basics

[FTADanceCru]

the guy picked for number nine shud hav NOT been picked. his hand techniques and combos were SLOPPY. the only good part about his form was his tricking

[angrymuffin123]

@FTADanceCru how in the hell was it sloppy

[FTADanceCru]

@angrymuffin123 he had no technique, his hands were everywhere

[FTADanceCru]

kim do should hav bin in the top 5

[RootsFreeStyler]

Does someone know the song in Kim Do's (8th) form ? I mean the one with Street Fighter's voices not "Usher - Yeah" at the beginning.

[Jona10washere]

dont worry all of em diserve 1st!!!!!!!!!!!

[slygemini]

wow someone apparently likes Matt Emig. His forms are good but I'm old school so I just see sloppy hand techniques. He's still good though

[terrait]

steve terada deserves better then 10th place

[zippoxl91]

the guy taping matt emig was like jizzing in his pants "TRIPLE!!!!!" haha

[RandomAsiansFan]

i've reckon steve should of came first

[lovemauihawaii]

wow, I just typed in the times (like this: 2:01 ) and YouTube translated them into hotlinks, that jump right to the correct spot in the video. how cool is that!

[whackyninja]

@lovemauihawaii i know right :D

[lovemauihawaii]

Can anyone tell me the names of some or all of the music?

1:08 sounds like the theme from Beverly Hills Cop (?) the other song names I need are at: 0:15, 2:01, 3:12, 4:44, 6:11, 6:55, 7:48, 8:36

thank you!!!

[king789789123]

KIM DO was better then jsut the 8th lol

[MissMaalouf1802]

altaah wie die abspackeen :D wie die gestörrten hahaha:D damnn sind die kaputt hahahaha:D

[junior110587]

ahhhhhhh muito efra kara,os kra são foda o kim mandando um shoryuken que lokura

[taekwondomaster911]

but in any case, does anyone know the name of the song that marc canonizado used?

[VienGogo]

Destination Sunshine - DJ Tiesto :)

[taekwondomaster911]

i see steve terada in the background at 8:19 he has that white armband on that he always wears

[SuperNatural614]

at 9:05 matt hurt his ankel so he just did some of the easy stuff

[efalhe]

ive seen kim perform that many times but he still shoulda gotten first

[siethon]

I think steve terada should have been atleast in the top 3

[woe9is6me]

matt emig in my opinion did stand out with 2 of the 5 times (i think) that you placed him, the other 3 didn't compare.

[Vman9484]

I think #2 should've been #1 ... and vice versa

[sugardrux]

i don't think so.... he wasn't very clean, the music was a cs-sound-mix and he hadn't a good grasp of his form!

[malaktus]

i think kim do was the best but they all were nuts

[shabazzmath]

someone's obsessed with Matt Emig. I'm gonna have to say that I liked Kim Do's the best. However it seemed like he used that form for a long time

[alucar1000]

hwy matt emig se la come es el mejor espero q algun dia venga para venezula

(__cesar-eXtremo__)

[jonast93]

whats the name of the song in the 10th place

[CrazyIemon]

DAMN.

[LightOn9750]

the 9th was horrible, absolutly horrible, stances weren't close to low, not showing moves, and when i say horrible, what i mean is that i know he can do way better than that.

[mjantube]

I liked 8th one the most! Kudos to all though!

[karategirl132]

what song does #6 use...im considering doing a musical form and i need a good song

plz and thanks

[BillyDaKid014]

HAHAHA #8's form had gunshot sounds from counter-strike source every time he threw a punch or kick

[Cloudforever99]

Kim Do for first....Wtf was with all the matt emig

[GhostofLegend]

steve and kim do should have been at the top of the list

[shortykid379]

yeah i agree with a lot of you guys. I think kim do should of gotten like second.

[Alex4124124]

all fantastic artists, but where was daniel sterling? ashley beck and chloe bruce? lol :D

[theismoke]

i still think steve should have gotten first

[tangoseven70]

As someone who competed in forms in the early to mid 90's before leaving the sport behind, I enjoyed watching Terada and Emig the most. But I don't like watching performers who can't do the basics well, like if Michelle Kwan had just done fantastic jumps but did shit with the rest her routine. Also, artistically, even when done with precision and power, the choreography tends to be repetitive and not to build real tension. Feels more like public masturabation of self, to be honest.Great jumps

[basch2020]

Kim Do's was the best!

[skillsx16]

whats that mix kim do used I want that mix

[skillsx16]

seriously i think kimdo should been number 2 with the whole street fighter thing going on, that was some crazy stuff

[adoorr]

wats the song that plays after "final countdown"? the one with steve terada doing his routine

[niinjaa08]

song??? please name song???

[zee3are0]

Yeah, would have liked to see Jon Valera, Carmichael Simon, Mike Chaturantabut, Jimmie Pham, and, well, if you're going to have three by Emig, you're missing the best work by Kim Do, definitely missing Richie Brandon, whose weapons forms were way beyond anything on here. This was drawn from a very limited and very time constrained time period. Take another look at old Team JPM stuff.

Then again, we're all free to make our own. Just, so long as sebricci here knows I disagree with his list.

[stevedlr1234]

wuts the name of that 540 swing through move matt emig does at 5:43

[BeatDownBoi]

No offence but what the hell was with Katlins punches. She just kinda stuck her arms out there, but thats just my opnion

[matiastrivium]

hii im matty from buenos aires argentinaa,,,heeyy CRAIG HENNINGSEN ISS THE NUMBER ONEEE!! IS SOOO MUCH BETTER THAN MATT EMIG!!!;,,,,,,

[magomed90]

lololol!!!wtf!!!

[matiastrivium]

jajaj taekwondo wtf?? ;;;;

[magomed90]

lolyyy not realy..

[OldSkoolKarate]

Boo on this list.  What about Mike Chat? Jon Valera? Carmichael Simon? Daniel Sterling? Anthony Atkins? Casey Marks? Jon Su?

These aren't the best forms, these are the best tricks in forms.

[sebricci]

You are welcome to do your own and send me the link when it's done

[OldSkoolKarate]

You know... that might be kind of fun. I'm defiantly considering it.

[babydru]

Totally agree... All these forms are from the 2000s. Go back to 1990-1999. Classic Valera (from 1997 to 1999), Mike Chat (1995 to 1997), Carmichael's 1995 Bluegrass form, list could go on... Title should be re-named Best Forms From 2000-2004

[FFmaxx]

haha clearly the maker of the vid grew up in a totally diff age of sport karate as evident of all the top 10's being people who made their names post 2003 bar a few people.

its funny u said all that cuz i was lookin at this vid expecting to see some old school people kim and steve are the only ones.

[flipmac540]

@OldSkoolKarate i agree, the best ive seen thats posted on youtube is chat from the 94 BOA. that beats any trick lol, just my opinion =) but he does do a back tuck in that form haha.

[itme20]

@OldSkoolKarate its props his own list leave him alone

[Jnbabypie]

@OldSkoolKarate lol mike chat? lolol... the others mos def tho heh

[iflyforsj]

you should change the name to matt emig's best musical forms lol

[ZenTrickz]

You put one of Steve Terada's new forms on here but not his older ones?! Are you nuts!

[jakekahan]

r u serious. you know that your number one musical form isn't even a musical form.

[sebricci]

Yes I know, but it is still my personal favourite

[iTzxMC]

i think number 2 was the best =x

[SrMimosin]

chris henningsen and matt emig are the besttttttttttttt

[EmpRitz]

Like Emig much?

[elshony]

son rerribles me gusta mucho lo q hacen

[darkfallz007]

steve?? 10th???

[scottyC408]

Cool video, but I think you're a little biased towards Matt Emig. I'm a fan of his too but... I have to agree with dtpark.

[braidon2]

does the trick when kim do grabs his legs have a name?

[pitxaTkd]

sin min cheol 4ever!!

[ImportWeed]

Hi, do anyone know the song to 6th place Marc Canonzado?? It sounded sick!

[dtpark1213]

I take it you're a big fan of Matt Emig. lol, to each his own. Matt's great, but I still think Canonizado's routines are technically more difficult and regularly performed cleaner.  You left out Rudy Reynon's kama and Kalmon Csoka's sword routines.

[sebricci]

Those are only open forms. I have the weapons one in the works ;-) and they re both in

[schattilly]

@sebricci i've hung out wit Rudy Reynon, i didnt kno it at the time lol, and he's hella kool

[dtpark1213]

focus daniel-san, focus.

[KaRaTeGiRl52]

whoaa that is a really good movie.

KUDOS! =]

[Joshiboy540]

I really liked steve terada he was pretty sick

[VRJaguarandi]

Super cool compilation My favorites here are Caitlin Dechelle and Matt Emig.

lol steve terada ken Street fighter II Theme and Kim Do using Ryu Voice in his form ha ha

This guys are really talented

[MURGA17]

oh thanx a lot sebricci!!!!! i'll let you know if i find it!!!!

[MURGA17]

does anyone knows the name of the song o number 7th Caitlin Dechelle's form?????????

[sebricci]

From Scooter but I dont know which one :Not The logical song, not Fire, not back in the UK. Good luck finding it and let me know when you do.

[Vman9484]

Scooter - Nessaja

I have it on one of their cds :-)

[amjwUK]

matt emig is a nutter.

[jimhit]

what song does Marc use?

[slygemini]

haha someone is obviously a fan of Matt Emig. I do have to admit that the number 2 form on here is one of the sickest I've ever seen. And that's saying a lot because Im old school, I competed 96-99. Good compilation of forms but oviously i noticed there's nothing before 2003

[sebricci]

Yeah guilty, I'm a fan. Thats coz as opposite to the other he changes his forms more often. There are some forms from 2001 in the 2nd part

[DestinyGX]

do you know what song Marc C used?

also if u could tell me where to see the full video.. or send it to me.

thanks =]

[sebricci]

Ayumi Hamasaki - Whatever

[carlispro]

in this video he used a custom remix to the song destination sunshine - belearic bill

[sabonnin]

donde esta Jimmy Phan Jon Valera, David Douglas, Mike Chat, Anthony Atkihg, faltaron deberias hacer otro video con ellos, seria fulll bueno

[lilkarategirl]

what is this song called?

[dcthespian]

I mean, this is a nice video, and I know that forms nowadays are stuffed with tricks and all, but I can't believe you can make a greatest forms ever video and not include any of the legends and pioneers of the sport such as Jon Valera, Mike Chat, Jimmy Pham, and Carmichael Simon. Seems like a better title would have been "Greatest Forms of 2002-08."

[dannya1209]

a little matt emig favoritism. i do not deny he is great but maybe shouldnt of taken all top 4 spots.

[asiantom20]

does anyone know the song matt emig used at diamond 06? number 3 on the top 10

[steviek1980]

awesome compilation! someone needs to call paramedic, cause matt emig is so sick!

[systrickzproductions]

thanks for putting all this together man!

~frez

[leesiulong1982]

Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de video de Jean Frenette à chacun son avis LOL ;)

[MarOo89]

0:49 HADOUKEN! XD ... One day i'll be better than that guys. Wish me luck :) 5* Great vid Sebricci

[flashpop69]

haha awesome bro! howd you get mah vid tho? justt downloaded it straight from youtube..? cuz thats really good quality

[sebricci]

yeah DLed to .flv then converted & put it in Movie Maker. Thanks for your videos by the way, those are the best on the net for XMA. I'm looking forward the next ones.

[TonyGibson11]

awesome forms. good order to but daniel sterlings 05 french open and sammy vasquezes french open 5 form wasnt in there. but it would be hard to fit them in with all those awesome forms

[sebricci]

:-) Sammy is 11th ;-) Check the other video "from 11th to 20th"

[TonyGibson11]

yeah i watched it. i think he deserves to be in the top 10. and i think that anis form deserves to be higher than chloes. blows it away in my opinion. but still good vids. have u seen daniel sterlings 2005 french open form? 1 of the best forms of all time!! LOL

[irawynn]

this is just awsome seb. great vid with all this musical forms.
