[stec52207]

STEVE TEREDA!

[katanasaint]

omg most of these techniques are of such high caliber, not saying its perfect execution, but i dont expect perfect execution in a live show. Very well done guys!!!

[austin784569]

NICE

[hyundaiisthebest]

a ri rang!

[ositos521]

look all i could say is this i have practiced lima lama, karate do, taekwondo "WTF", and a little kick boxing and let me say even do they dont have as much strenght they are some fast mother F@#~€ and getting to touch em is really hard jmjm if you know what i mean...

[southbest05]

lol most of them were koreans and K tigers and other XMA crews well done

[ositos521]

hey for those who keep saying that those moves dont work for anything else i bet they would kick the shit out of your asses....!

[Dakashizzlenizzle]

@tachi203 : why do you think they call them tricks, dipshit?

[ositos521]

dumb asses only cus u see some breakdancing moves doesnt mean it is cumon respect the artist please....!

[DBZj5]

its supposed to be tricking and this looks like breakdancing

[UrbanNinja4life]

ya tricking includes breakdancin

[Ming1975]

Mix break dancing? Naw come on! I know us guys who do this like break dancing too. but too much mixing and we won't know what it is next time. If it get out of control like XMA+ballet+breakdance+Joga....­.. LOL!

[UrbanNinja4life]

Lol... but seriously, this includes breakdancing, well... kinda =D

[mackdaddyninja]

why is darkness there? lol

[kevbecks]

tat breaker is from gambler crew korea!haha!! bboy darkness if not mistaken xD

[pinkydarling]

This is awsome. Every martial artis who says this is useless is just jelous because they don't have the incredible balance and skill these guys do. and UH DUH a flip is useless in a real fight, we all know this, but cordnation and balance is VERY important in a real fight and these guys got it(along with martial art skill). Just stop hatin on people who can throw a punch and land a flip. sheesh.

[xhimpei]

Well, Although - it's not "martial Arts", per se. It's still bloody impressive, and pretty cool to watch. They've clearly got talent.

[idonanquan]

i guess they have black belts for break dancing now...

[xcvninja]

Anyone know what the songs are? ^^;;

[Tenjobs]

This is a combination of tricking and martial arts called xma, its not supposed to be used in real life situations you retards, its supposed to look good. FYI most XMA champions are also at least state level with their martial art in sparring and patterns/kata. Look at Steve Terada for example, awesome at XMA as well as national champion in karate for several events.

[ExcaliburFortress]

100% agreed. All these people say "ZOMG you cant use this in a real battle" and its true and we've all established that. No where in the video does it say it is used for combat so you morons should stop comparing acrobatics to traditional martial arts. Everyone knows it for shows now get over it....

[Zen876]

i agree with Excalibur fortress......and to add on to his swords...this stuff makes it look like the person can kick your ass and the intimidation actually works for pple, but in the end its all just very skillful and fun technique.

[friedcrispy]

i sure hope martial arts does not evolve into this piece of garbage. in this world of quick fixes for everything, martial arts turns into this, i guess. forget the traditional teaching. teach me a backflip sensei/su phu!

[kungfumike1984]

hahaha, yea these guys are the fags of well i cant say martial arts cuz they arnt doing martial arts. dancing queens.

[187slobkila]

wow this stuff is really useful

i mean someone holds a gun to your head and obviously you backflip over his head...witch exploads.

[MakX]

the fact that those who arent gymnasts can still do any of the things they just did should be enough credit in itself, however i personally prefer the untrained raw look of those, though a gymnasts is notably going to be more skilled, further more these guys if real xma persons would be willing to do there tricks on the street whilst a gymnast well likely keep to there bouncy floored gymnasiums, this is speculation lol

[sc300boy]

why the hell was bboy darkness there

[nscarred4life]

some of them you can tell are not good martial artist...the way the throw their kicks.....some you can tell also have martial arts skill

[Taither]

Assholes, shut up. The only one who should get the blame are you and the dood who named this XMA while trickers really hate this word because they know what original martial arts are and they don't pretend that this is replacing it. Otherwise, shut up and say something consistent instead of "This can't be used in a real fight, zomg, biology sucks!"

[DojiSan]

These guys should really take gymnastics because that is what they are doing. If you take any world class gymnist and ask them to do these, they would be able to do it with ease! Most people on this video should take gymnatics so they can really do the tumbling!

[pesquero]

Stupid idiot, I do tricks on the street and I suppose these guys do to, a gymnist can't do a flip on the street without training like we do, it's a hole other techniek for building up momentum. The flips are maybe the same but we jump higher on the streets then they would do without training. Respect for every sport.

[susaetern]

I'd hate to break it to all you haters, but, Martial Arts is Martial Arts. This is a form of Art, therefore, it is Martial Arts.

Sure, these guys aren't the best, but at least they're trying. They can do way more than what I can do, for sure ^^

[fresh2deft]

Brah, not to rag on what you said, but flipping is not martial arts. Martial means warlike, thus with both words combined it means the arts of war. Flipping and stuff does not constitute warlike behaviors brah. Good try though. And yes those things these people do is awesome.

[fresh2deft]

Also brah. As most Martial artists will attest to, when in the act of using such skills the basics are more in use.

[susaetern]

@ fresh2deft

I see where you're comming from.  I still wish I can do half the things they do though, even if they're not experts.

[fresh2deft]

Yeah, I wish I can do a lot of aerials like they can to use in demos. They are great to watch.

[aquashaolin33]

good good!!*

[liquidfaction]

Nice

[teamshintaichi]

there's no martial in the arts these days :(

[illicitsc]

they're just hating cuz tricking gets all the attention

[hollywoodhusky]

oh god. stop ur wining and shut up. we dont care what you think about tricking. so its "not applicable in a real fight" or its "not real gymnastics" who gives a shit? we're out there doing it cuz we love it. we love this shit.

[lakunaky]

nothing compares with real gymnastics. all the jumps the guys are doing are just the basic things of basic acrobatics.

[Coudntpickname]

gymnastics & martial arts are completely different.

[hollywoodhusky]

haha Terada owned it. LOL why was Darkness randomly in there! hahahahaha

[opey60]

xma is not martial arts its gymnastics with spining kicks and breakdancing martial arts are about reality non of these guys no how to throw a punch or throw a non flippy kick or have any knowledge of grapling they would get pwnd by someone who knew what they were doing or by some one of same strenght with even a little more fighting excperiance this is martial arts martial arts are about reality kung fu xma bruce lee movies are not realitly

[Evil4eva]

dude shut the hell up of course its not gona be used in real fighting stupid this is not designed for self defense dumb ass ... its more for show type things martial arts is not just about self defence so next time u comment summat think it through,

[sideswipe01]

Martial arts has evolved from the traditional like most everything else in modern society, most of the people on that stage also practice traditional styles of martial arts and simply enjoy tricking to take their training to a new level. You sound like someone who just isn't capable of doing any of this and therefore must be a very lousy, jealous martial artist. And I know you must be a horrible martial artist if you think you can relate Bruce Lee to this...

[DojiSan]

XMA is based on traditional martial arts. Great XMA practioners have knowledge of traditional martial, ie punch or kick. So you cant really say they will not be able to defend themselves.

[cdavisfour]

None of those guys could compete, unfortunately. There are people who are just as...mobile, that weigh 230+ and thus unless it was a weapons comp the would be pretty much easily victorious against people of that kind of build.

[BeyondFearKarate]

What does it have to do with martial arts lets see. Put these tricks in your form and see. oh BTW Xma camp is way better than gymnastics, xma backflip takes about a mounth to learn. In gymnastics it takes about 3-5 years.

[DojiSan]

That is because gymnist really try to understand the science of flips. Most XMA practioners only try to do flips without proper training thus you see them execute their techniques sloopily..world class gymnist have the FORM down and look gracefull. That is why i say, XMA practioners should study gymnastics it will only help their flips.

[TaekwonMojo]

that's really cool, i didnt know that could be done!

anyhow, how about the original version of the song itself? anybody have a source?

[rungkarn]

This song call " R Lee Dung "

But, I think This song is a new Version.

[TaekwonMojo]

anyone know where i might be able to download that

[Deader0]

flashload dot net

[TaekwonMojo]

omg, what's the name of this song?

anybody know?

it's been in so so so many demo's i've seen

[Ashetarov]

nice gymnastics, but what does this have to do with martial arts?

[Huatau]

Probably he same as breaking a brick with your head or other body part.

[r3db4ck]

It has everything and nothing to do with Martial Arts. Its called "having fun"

[liljoe3106]

amazin

[apocalipse11]

where can i donwload this?

[samurainight]

whoa

[Tenjobs]

Who is the dancer d00d who came on during the sinister music? that guy was nuts

[metabolife]

alot of trickers know how to bboy... but that guy's handstand footwork looks like bboy darkness from gambler crew... his breakin > his trickin...and yah... it has to be bboy darkness... that foo is tall as fuck

[sistersina]

i love korean tigers

[PnoyDude]

Sorry if I was pissed earlier-- Bboy Darkness is my favorite bboy, along with Physicx, Baek, Zero-Nine, Crazy Geun, etc. If I see someone biting his style that would suck, but it's good to know it was actually him all along. ^^

[metabolife]

yah bboy physicx!

best all around bboy ever... even power, even footwork... and he can toprock... dope

[natta]

Hey wow. I love Ktigers...they taught us great performences... And I love the Arirang-Version, the one we sing in our Taekwondo lessons is much slowlier! Does someone know the Artist and maybe correct name (if "arirang" won't do :D)

[jkt5]

Amazingly that bboy's powermoves actully looked cooler than all those tricks/flips!

[Cor0na]

lol bboy darkness ownged them

[PnoyDude]

Oh really? Wow, must be awesome being with him onstage! :)

[SteveTerada]

that is darkness in the red and black

[PnoyDude]

BITER!

[Gnazz]

damn this vidz is old.. i remember there was lots of bails hehe

[PnoyDude]

HOLY... if that dude that did the bboying stuff ain't Bboy Darkness he better be getting permission for beefing his style like that!

[f0cus]
