[wtfeveryonehasmyname]

whats the song at 4:15?

[Geffen2007]

tha was mostly taekwando right? nice tricks btw tricks really don't matter when ur sparring lol but love it do.

[karatevideoguy]

Why does everyone bring up the fact that these moves don't work in sparring. Do you people see anyone sparring here? Do you?! This is KATA - NOT SPARRING. Please stop stating the obivious!!!!!

[Geffen2007]

yah i know there is no sparring. but katas are preformed so u can visualize yourself and your opponent sparring and i am just saying you must be a good martial artist if you can preform these moves in a fight.

[Vman9484]

I'm not looking to start a conflict, but if ya want to get better at sparring you either : A - Spar or B - Shadowbox. Using a kata to get better at sparring isn't a great way to do it. Besides these are freestyle demonstrative forms, practicality isn't what they're being judged on.

[SmallButMighty2]

yeah i would have to say that useing a form to practice sparring is the oldest school of martial arts there is. forms were invented so instructors could teach and ppl could train fighting without equpitment in the old days

[99mag3r99]

@karatevideoguy because forms are meant to be practical in real life.

[bakachikun]

i'm happy that i finally found something worth watching !!!

greaat video!

[waiting87]

freeze at the girl in 4.04. she looks scary... no offence but they're good...

[redwoodmafia]

If you want to see some traditional karate form, look at Matt Mullins.

[redwoodmafia]

Agreed, but I have found that if I want to stand a chance in martial arts at a competative level I have had to incorporate a lot of gymnastics into my routines.

And the shouting, any one who thinks its about releasing the Ki energy inside to punch through walls and shit, is an Idiot. I personally think that if i was in a fight with some one on the street, and a manic martial artist shouting with every strike is coming at me, feck me that is going to be intimedateing.

[karatevideoguy]

Forms and Weapons is what it is titled did you see the word fighting anywhere?

[Daishi216]

I really dont get it why they scream, someone stabbed them with a fork or something? Or is it to let loose the enormous KI energies? Dunno, anyways it wont help during a real fight, just type in "Kiai Master" in the search field

[Daeron15]

i understand why they exhale strongly but yeah whats with the screaams lol...

[moundthere]

that was so fucking sick wish i could do that shit to show off i do martail arts and found it very entertaining

[MerCz68]

if your a real martial artist then flips should NOT be the first thing you think about when someone names "form". Notice that i didnt complain about the weapon forms but the flips...

yeye i do some tricking to and yes i enyoy it but it doesnt have anything to do about martial arts....

[MerCz68]

this does not have much to do with MA... Flips are so stupid to use in a fight/spar so why do they use it in "best of forms and weapon" -.- its more like a tricking contest

[karatevideoguy]

This is forms and weapons competition not sparring competition.

[skinnybufanz]

personally i dont think those flips fit in their forms

seems like its so random and they strike all over the places. forms are built on techniques

they must be fight hella lot of people XD

[Hiroshi1970]

American craps...

[Matejivanovich]

These are showy and flashy martial arts. Does any of it have practicality? Not really. I've been in Tae Kwon Do for about 6 years, and personally all that flash doesn't make you anymore of a martial artist or not. This is a performance--and they're good. Just not too practical as far as all those turns and flips go.

[karatevideoguy]

And TKD is practical?

[silentroids]

Who said it was?

[hahe2u]

wowow

[boom06]

Are these practical or show martial arts?

[karatevideoguy]

Most of this is for show. This is from open tournaments. Most is from extreme divisions.

[NunchakuFreak]

The girl at the end is a very skilled cutie, damn!

Nice performances, thanks for sharing!

[Noudist]

Imagine that one of those weapon hits can knock your brains out. If so, what other organs do you lose when they keep on attacking?

[ThiisGuy123]

imagine any hard objects going that fast. anything can knock ur brains out, just like a bat, a 4X4, or even a cell phone being smashed to your faced.

[Noudist]

I would like to say 'ouch' now. Ouch. Thank you.
