Ballet Guy Does Mixed Martial Arts?

[landgabriel]

I bet the ballet really helps with muay thai kicking.

@XxDaRkShArInGaNxX1

I'm not sure but it's from swan lake i think...

[MadonovaEkaterina]

РУССКИЙ ДА?))))))))))))))

[XxDaRkShArInGaNxX1]

whats the song at 1:26??

[charlikesfunnystuff]

@XxDaRkShArInGaNxX1

Its from swan lake

[therrydicule]

Ain't no surprise... Ballet is not so far away from a martial art: a martial art is a fighting arts which include a code of practices&traditions use to train...

Ballet include many practices and tradition, it is also codified (Bourrée?Do ya mean drunk? Hell No!) like any traditional martial arts. It also teach some discipline, coordination of the human body, ask for strenght and flexibility.

The only difference is the goal: ballet is a dance...But so does Capoeira,Changquan&Hopak...

[KelsiMontana123]

I know a superstar. His name is Hankyung! He knows Ballet and Martial Art! Just like you!

[H311i0n419]

you know what all of these people who are in mma are in good physical condition better then most of the people in the USA today if he were to go against JET LI, Jet would kick his ass if you have seen people at the diamond nat. they are way faster in person. i know 12 year old kids who are faster then he may likes to dance but skill he has nothing  i'm not saying he's a sissy but he should just stay in dance. he should have joined when he joined ballet. i think he would do the best in WUSHU tho

[H311i0n419]

i can't see that ballet has any uses in mma because you're getting the crap beat out of you can't do anything when your on the ground getting hit by a guy that knows how break limbs you can't do anything stylish unless you want to kick him in the face.

[ultacatlover]

this studio is amazing! :)

[sn0wbunnny]

amazing jumps

[umbalaba]

Check 1:50. Just wow! What an awesome jump!

[isauragalvao88]

I'm dancer and fight judo, I teacher body combat and brazilian. I can say that it is interesting how these activities complement and help us better understand the body.

[thefakeyeti]

Hmm..

I am in karate (yellow bet atm) and in judo(just joined, only a white belt)

And was thinking once I go to college, maybe I should join ballet (TO help get in better touch with the body, and flexiblity)

I decided to finaly google "ballet mma" and was actually surpised to find it wasn't a original thought..

(But in my case it would be the opposit transition, martial arts to ballet, not ballet to martial arts)

[mayan212]

you might also consider contemporary which isn't as strict with ballet form but allows movement in many other ways, the floorwork and transitions help build control and balance. plus breakdancing footwork is good conditioning for grappling

[kakakakatrina]

OMG! this guy is amazing:D

[Tolutegon]

we only have one body!

the same laws aply in ballett, BJJ, football or tennis. its an illusion that there is a difference.

We need more of this kind!

[ITANAGAR12345]

i dont see any illusion with football or tenis... I love tennis but there is no illusion..

[snowlester]

funny...

[hungryfeet]

Sexy! My kind of guy!

[paladin313]

I would love some redneck idiot walk up to him and call him a sissy for dancing ballet...you'll only do it once! Great job, guy!

[thefakeyeti]

...

The guy would ignore him!

I assume he doesn't want to get kicked out of the dojo!

Someone training in any diciple is drilled to not use their training in haste..

Now, try to attack the guy, and see what happens :D

[MileyFanForever64]

hairy foot! hairy foot!

[didUhaveNorgazm]

His balance, coordination, core strength, endurance, and flexibility must be through the roof. He probably is improving at an exponential rate.

[SunlightBurnsTheSky]

I hate it when people think ballet is a sissy-thing. It's so friggen hard-core! I swear, it's like strength training T.T

[snowboardgloory]

i know right !

i hate it too !

I think it's actually manly to just walk out there wearing tights and doing some really really hardcore work, and being called a sissy for that ? that's really immature and the guy/girl who says that obvisouly knows nothing about ballet. And someone who says dancing ballet is gay ( for a guy ) is just a sissy himself !

I'd like to see someone who says ballet is gay and a sissy thing try to do all the hard work the male ballet dancer does ! :D...

[warriorking55]

@snowboardgloory For real!!!! i agree with everything you said! i'm in my second year of ballet and it's Freakin Hardcore!!! i'm 19 so i had kind of a late start but whatever!

[thefakeyeti]

As a male..

I have to agree..

A ballet dancer is intoned with his body, and did A LOT of hard work and dedication to get there..

Him simpy being in good physical shape, would give him the upperhand in a fight (He jumps to the side, and proceeds to pop you in the face)

But in cultures (throughout history), it seems as if "manly" is eating as much food as possible, and drinking as much beer as possible.

While these "sissys" pumble them into the ground...

[QuirkBiscuits]

Yeah! In fact, in the past it was ONLY men who were allowed to do ballet.

[GillianMoynihan]

Woohoo he's great!!!! My boyfriend does martial arts and he believes that you can't be "masculine" enough to do that and ballet at the same time. XD Way to go!

[iceandballet]

hahaha the tights thing was funny:D

[peaceluvdance1]

next time you go fight use foutte turns! that'll kick his but!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OnPointe13]

He'sa God!!! Amazing Dancer.=D

[lostinerinworld]

[idanconpoint456]

i can't understand anything he's saying but i love him anyway...

[JohnneyCoolguy]

YES! Anaheim Ballet is back !!!!!!!

[Adansinamo077]

No wonder Russians are so Good and Sharp in dance if they are trained for eight years every day from 9-9. I here that in Russia as a kid it's either HOCKEY or DANCE. There parents make them...

[elphiascutie3]

I did ballet for nearly 7 years and have also attained my black belt in Taekwondo so I know how different the arts are but also all the similarities. Martial arts isn't all that different in principle but goodness it is different physically, just the different muscle groups you use is surprising.

[welbsterdu]

I see the videos of you every day! you are spectacular! Dancer and I also hope to be well a day! You are more!

[HouseSwallow1]

Im a blackbelt but I find it hard to get out of the habit of pointing my toes :P

[Gwen102938]

You'd be surprised how well they go together!

I've done ballet for nine years and kickboxing for three and I've seen such an improvment in my strength and flexibility.

xxx <3

[morpheus1976]

Nice....Friday night MMA contest and Saturday a dance perfomance with 2 blue eyes and a broken nose :p

No...seriously...I have done both...not at the same time though. Both were 'fun'. But when I had to choose I would rather wear tights than boxing gloves. :-)

[Nylacaj]

[milkteapearl]

[alexisrose324]

can you do a video on how to get flexible so where i can touch my head with my leg while standing

[Madisenz]

i did karate for 5 yeaars and i just (half a year ago) quit to start ballet. best thing i've ever done.

[marisx17]

YOU'RE BACK!!!!!! I missed you =(

[AnaheimBallet]

We missed you too ;-)

[mexonly]

aww he's cute.

and talented =]

[jinjaacq]

How very talented, he looks a little like Patrick Swayze; I think.

[MoodyMellerina]

lol Yesterday the thought struck me that you guys hadn't posted a video in a while. So it was a delight to see this when I turned on my computer today.

[SaVaNNaHLoVeSBaLLeT]

i didnt kno new vid evry saturda really ment evry 3 months in anaheim time lol

i still love u guys!

<3

[agjwgirls]

[AnaheimBallet]

lol ;-)

[youresomellow]

I love you! hahaa ;D

[BLynn93]

haha! loved this!

...and power to the lefty turners!

[mltplprsonalty]

OMG!!! Yes power to the lefty turners. I am right handed and I do everything on my right except for turns!!! I feel so akward because my dance instructers/coreographers always use right turns. POWER TO THE LEFTY TURNERS!!!!!!!!!

[OutOfInkMusic]

Amen to that! I have the same problem!

[BLynn93]

it just doesn't make sense...lefty turners should actually be the righty turners because you use your RIGHT leg to turn en dehors to the left...i guess i'm too logical for ballet :P even so, i'm still a lefty en dedans, so my theory doesn't work out...

[AnnieLynn333]

That was awesome! This is a cool dude. ( :

[SmartieSkittle]

he reminds me of a guy in my Company!

that's amazing that he can do that!

[dance693]

he should go on SYTYCD. and FINALLY a new video. i thought there was gonna be new videos every saturday?

[MoodyMellerina]

Umm He's a soloist with ABT. I think that totally owns being on a TV show.

[dance693]

so...? he should still go on it.

[balletkido]

yeahhhh

ummmmmm.....are u serious dance693? he is an amazing dancer w/ one of the best companies in the world. is it really necessary for him to go on a dumb reality tv show?

[princessCSrulz4life]
