This is an art of performance, form, strength, and execution not combat. As a practioner of xma I still practice traditional styles and mma. This has some martial arts element in it but its is performance grade stuff. Its not that serious I just ish people would get over it.
They are just upset because as combat goes all the "serious" martial arts are outdated, by like centuries. This is not west point or sniper school. THATS how you kill.
The performance artists however are being far more honest about it, they aren't even trying to say they are badass, they are just saying it LOOKS badass.
Its about state of mind, physical development, and personal growth. This has as much of that if not more than "real" martial arts the snobs like to talk about.
Then why study martial arts, if they want to be honest with themselves go take up dance or aerobics, why dress up in outfits and use WEAPONS from another culture, when they are not being used as weapons, use a baton. State of mind, physical development, and personal growth are all valuable things in any pursuit, and I completely agree that some of these guys show amazing talent, and do things that most traditional artist could not do. But this is not martial arts.
Because combat is a part of what we are, especially males. We are a predatory species. And while it may not be 100% optimized for combat it could still be used for combat. And in this era of oppression, having any semblance of a weapon that cannot be taken away is a good thing.
Also learning to fall properly becomes second nature, and can save your life later on.
@Innomen But you said in your previous post, that martial arts are outdated, and pretty much pointless in modern society, if thats the case, whats the point, go join the snipers school if you really feel the need to be manly and predatory. If you want to spin and throw an object around, take up baton twirling, and if you like doing somersaults and flips, join a gymnastic team. What is on display above shares much more in common with both of these than traditional Japanese sword arts anyway.
is this what "karate" has come to? No wonder most the public is turning to judo/jiu-jitsu! Very few (if any) of these Forms guys fight for obvious reasons. It seems after I've seen one of these guys they all look alike! When they're not flipping/twisting/flying thru the air they stop & throw multiple li'l flippy hands to the left then to the right then go flippin/jumping around then stop...flippy left/right...Where's the Karate? All showy stuff but definately not Karate. And the yells? Geez
what you dont understand is that traditional martial arts and self defense are taught and often masterd by these competitors then they incorporate these extreem kicks for competition \ and like you said for show.. and the yelling demonstrates intensity which is an important part of martial arts
yall are all such jackasses. yea its all flashy n shit but its not sloppy. i took tae kwon do with some of these people, and they are the best of the best
Woah, look at 10:10. She was about to cut the camera guy. You can hear him saying, "Oooh my god, oooh my god." If I ever go to one of these competitions, I will definitely stand in back row where I can't accidentally get slashed, lol.
lol...not all of them are kata fags.....and to the comment about not being good in hand to hand combat or weapon to weapon....how many times are you faced with a combat situation in real life...most of the time you get shot or stabbed....so since your miserable and cant just enjoy a show...you gotta shoot down everyone else?
im not sure what you mean?... i use a video camera that uses mini dvs.. then i upload them onto my computer using windows movie maker in2 ten minute clips..
salut super jaime bien !
