if these guys were in the UFC they would be champs for sure! i bet the UFC wouldn't let them fight though. cause like if they landed those moves on someone they'd have to go to hospital
well xma isnt for fighting but its still a ma so what youre saying is so obvious that its stupid. I'll rather watch ufc that go to Argentina to watch some weird ma fight.
wtf i dont fear real martial arts as i do full contact sparring but xma is fun. You're the pussy who know nothing about ma nor fought in a cage fight. What ma do u do?
im sorry but they are talking rubbish!! i do tricking and kickboxing and i no for a fact that because of my tricking it makes me a much better fighter because it has conditioned me to move more quickly ,be more athletic ,have more awareness of my surrounding and stronger in the legs!! im not saying i would use my tricks in a real situation but i have the power to execute very powerful kicks because of it!! people like you only say stuff bad about it because you cant do it!! FACT!!!
I would love to see you jump your way out of a mugger, or trying to meditate to the BlackEyedPeas as a soundtrack background, A real martial art, teaches the only important concept, knowing yourself, no kicking, no punching, no 360 or 540's. You only say that because you practice gymnastics, no TKD as your nickname presumes. FACT!!!

im sorry but speaking as a proffesional kickboxer,i must agree with dan that this xma is an absolute disgrace to real martial arts,i mean jelly can kick better than they do and in a fight,how does jumping in the air and spinning help you,you could just hit them witha basic palm strike while they r flieng and theyd be out cold.
Wow, yeah, this guy is trying to attack me, so I think I'll pull an aerial to a backflip and then maybe my loud scream will scare him away...Pfffft! Please, get real...There is NO practicality in these moves whatsoever. This is not martial arts. There is no discipline at all. It's certainly not Karate, or even Taekwondo because if it was, then it would be worth the Olympic committee's consideration for induction into the summer games. XMA is a disgrace to REAL Karatekas. IT'S GYMNASTICS.
Dan with all due respect you are wrong here. Let's use nunchukas as an example. If one learns the basic moves, he can use the weapon effectively. But if he can do basics, trick moves, thumb rolls, around back thru legs around body you name it... then he OWNS the chucks, they are like an extension of himself, and has mastered complete control over them. No in a real fight we won't be using tricks, but he WILL use them, even with basic moves, MUCH more effectively.
That is why Karate is practiced throughout the world. In XMA, the difficulties that a true karateka must endure to persue the next belt are are non-present. Thingsas the use of the Makiwara, or even proper term diction. The flashy tonfa & nunchaku are not for teaching and studying, they are for show. Look how many belts XMA has. They have at least 18-20 depending on the school. No matter the school, real karate has the same amount; 7. Just as it was in the beginning in Japan.
The same goes with XMA. By being able to do these extreme moves, these guys OWN their karate, their bodies, and can do anything. In an actual self-defense situation they will likely do basic moves, but the'll do them MUCH more confidently and better, having had the ability to do ANYTHING. (and yes they may even do some XMA type more-than-basic moves in special situations that merit it, because they can do it with ease, and the move is right for the situation.
I understand where you are coming from, but in a real situation on the street, anything goes. You more than likely will have no nanchaku present or anything that you can use as a weapon readily available. As far as technique, in XMA the emphasis on proper execution of techniques is non-present. I do Shotokan Karate. Everything I have learned and studied thus far has built upon itself much like a building. XMA was made in America purely for show.
And one last note. How long does it typically take an XMA artist to become a true black-belt? It typically takes 1-1.5 years. Why? because they have so many belts, the people practicing must change elevate their status quickly or they get bored. It's also for the money. I have been practicing Karate for 4 years, and have only attained the title of brown. There is not a practice that ends that I am not dripping sweat and have re-opened and bloody knuckles as a result from the burlap Makiwara.
It's not really suppose to be effective martial arts. That's why it's called "Xtreme Martial Arts." It's taking martial arts to the extreme limit of physical exertion. They emphasize flair and show over usefulness.
Note every Martial Art has two sides, the martial side- effective self defence, discipline, courtesy, respect, power and speed, and then the Art side- to demonstrate the abilities that can be achieved through the martial arts. This is why they are called MARTIAL ARTS. Most arts have Katas/forms in them to demonstrate the skills.
Compare BJJ and wushu and you get two very different styles. Compare XMA and TKD and again they are both different.

oh man here we go, another youtube know it all, your a dumbass, that doesnt make any sense, kata is used to demonstrate the techniques, these are not techniques, as you can see he even does a flare which they only teach in gymnastics, all of these guys practice in a gym, they dont spend any time perfecting their forms all they do is sloppy backflip double kicks whatever the fuck you call this shit and try to show off.
man what i hate most is that you are half right, they ARE techniques and the only way you can discredit them is to know everything about every art. It is martial ARTS and everyone knows that arts is in no way a solid defining meaning thing
mmmm I don't understand... is more like a gymnastic contest than a martial art fight (the actually do not fight at all...). I was courious because I've always seen those xma guys performing alone but never fighting each other. do actually real fights (like tournaments and so on) between xma artist exist or not?
Yes, it's similar to gymnastics, or in this case, it's more similar to a break dancing exhibition. You see guys preforming alone because XMA is not a combative art. See my comment below to read what XMA is. So to answer your question, no, there are no divisions that have "XMA" fighting. Although Kim Do (the purple gi & my profile thumbnail) fights competitively on the NASKA circuit and is quite good at point sparring. Occasionally he will even throw an XMA kick or two in his fights.
This is an XMA battle, much like a break dance contest. XMA (extreme martial arts) is an off branch to traditional martial arts that combines gymnastics, acrobatics, and dancing with martial arts to try to push the limits of the human body in a martial arts environment. This contest was to see who could throw the most challenging 'tricks' and combos.
Whats the name of this song? I like it :P It all funky and stuff, doesn't suit the vid at all but doesn't matter... :P XMA is cool, not much use as a martial art but if you can do it your better than the average bully :P Off course, other martial arts are way better, but this is just cool showing off ^^ Great!
god they suck at kicking. my god.they're repeating the same 3 kicks over and over again.all they know is how to breakdance.oh forgive me..they suck at that as well
lol how silly of me i saw battle and expected to see fighters dancing, instead i see half classed gymnist dancing, it is to be expected from XMA. extreamly makebelieve arts.
why do you keep going on every fucking video of it to moan about it, just dont watch it!maybe instead of wasting time youtube abusing, you could spend it practicing your realy amazing and unbeatable martial arts... or make some friends
lol i do it because i enjoy arguing with people, and at the end of the day there's nothing left to do because my frigin brother always gets the TV first and plays Maden i hate that damn game lol. but yeah my motives don't change the truth in my words. XMA is full of crap.
xma probably thinks ur full of crap too :/ ... and seriously y argue over the internet its just so gay, p.s. like revofree said make some friends then maybe u can go hang out with them at the end of the day instead of watching ur brother play madden?!?
i have friends lol, i said the end of the day, its night already and im bored. besides cant you see that there is no martial arts in this video. just some anime inspired BS lol
That you could never hope to do lol. If you can't accomplish it, insulting it is a weak form of saying "I can't so it so I'm gonna bring down those who can to my level". lololololol
Once more you prove yourself oh so very smart. Your argument has no basis whatsoever and you change it repeatedly to try and fit the situation. So to put it simply no matter what you say it'll either be invalid or just outright stupid. Go ahead say something, make yourself look like an idiot lol.
XMA is as retarded as you are XD. you must own naruto memorabilia lol. lol you wana hear it again, XMA has nothing to do with fighting. prove me wrong anime freak XD
I don't do XMA but I'm sure that if people have the balance, timing strength and speed to do XMA that they have an big ass advantage above most people in an fight.
would take them way less effort to learn an effective-street martial art like karate/muay thai etc.
well im sure they could learn it being as they are fit. but what im saying here is that they aren't learning a thing about fighting, i could say the same thing you have for someone who does jazzersizing.
They are both advance degree black belts, and neither of them earned their belts because they know how to do back flips. They are black belts because they can whoop dat ass. They have taken their skills with fundamental martial arts techniques to create these ridiculous types of kicks.
Go look up "pain" on my channel's searchbox. You will see these guys are perfectly capable of beating the hell out of other black belts.
LOL so many people thing that its numb chuks... its nunchucks mate ;P
And keep practicing - i started out with foam chuks and i just moved on to wood and yes I too hit myself on the head the other day =P bue yeah I have a couple of chuk vids on my channel, please don't mark this comment as spam because im not advertising my channel, im just mentioning it.
a real martial artist won't knock xma, they would appreciate it. and i have found that most people who are hating on xma are those that have either never tried it or are unable to do it! so if you have never tried it, don't knock it. not all of it is just gymnastics, a simple 540 can kill you if done right! don't believe me, ask Terada to use your head as a target, then you will understand!
Then again a simple open hand punch to the nose can kill you and thats not difficult to do is it? seriously thats a basic principle of Krav Maga. Whats the point of a 540 if as soon as you begin i just crash into you and break you in two?
Seriously thats a basic principle of every martial arts. The thing is, will ur weekend krav maga be enough to land down a single punch on an everyday training XMA? I think not.
Being able to do a 540, trust me, he will land a punch to your nose before you manage to do one to his. Simple reasoning.
Ok pit a krav maga master against an XMA master. Krav Maga wins straight out. It doesn't focus on flips but rather basic biomechanics. In other words what one man can do to another in the most simple effective way. ok he may be fast. Krav Maga basic block in which case XMA man is fucked. He is grounded and can be put in a hold and then from there the Krav Maga master has him at his mercy. End of story
Because it's a XMA competition...tricks are not meant for combat. It's more art form and show of athleticism...you dont do XMA to learn how to fight although people keep thinking that lol. However I wouldn't be surprised if alot of these dudes knew how to kick ass.
They trained in thier disciplines just like you do in Shotokan. Terada is originally a Tang Soo Do practioner. In fact some of them are actually instructors. They just moved on to tricking cuz it's a sport. Yeah they are just flashy kicks, but they aren't meant to show off fighting skill.
xma.... so commercialized.... so glad that there are still so many real martial art practiotioners out there.... real philosophy, real heart..... xma is just a bunch of flashy kicks that won't help in a real life situation
they seem to work hard at thier trade, tricks and such, and until one can truely meet them and get to know them, then it is wrong to make assumptions. as such i think people like celaniix5 do not understand the heart of budo or martial arts or even that of a kind person. i hope that we all find something much more worthwhile to do with our lives than debate on youtube :)
well, it is the notion that many lay persons take this for what All arts encompass that i find unjust, and truely they, not the practitioners, are the culprits of such stereotyping and the reason that suchpoeple fail to see the marvelous outer function and inner devine beauty of traditional arts both martial and fine.
besides if they could get that high with a trick they could certainly use normal martial arts! but I don't think they would stand a chance against Tommy Carruthers
stop badmouthing them - they're entertaining, it seems like with all xma videos people are like oh this sucks and doesn't work and they'll get killed in a real fight, but do u have any clue how acomplished these guys are in "normal" martial arts
Although all that is just for show, it isn't as if they aren't obviously light on their feet, which is very useful in a real fight, and I would definitely guess they are trained in more than just this XMA stuff.
wizaad if all this stuff is pointless entertainment...why do people make movies or skateboard or play basketball or do any kind of professional sport that provides "entertainment"...
they have a good time doing it so why not? who are you to judge. you probably cant do shit. these guys would kick your ass so fast you wouldnt even know what to do with yourself
id hate see those kids get in a REAL fight and watch them get their asses kicked, you cant use all that flippy shiz for anything but feeding your ego and entertaining people who don't know any better.

You're still avoiding the point lol. It's not whether you'd rather but you stink lololololol.

lol the point is simple try to listen, XMA is not in any way a martial art. what do you have to say about that fact you whiny wana be XD
Hawaiianstile 3 years ago
My point is....You are an idiot..... hows that?
You ignore half the things thrown at you in favor of bashing XMA,which is incredibly pathetic I might add.
Sorry dude but you;ve broken down to stupid name calling and insults which is really sad.

lol what a hypocrite you name call me because you cant take the fact that your dumb ass XMA is full of BS XD you ignorant fan boys are so amusing
Hawaiianstile 3 years ago
Once more you prove yourself oh so very smart. Your argument has no basis whatsoever and you change it repeatedly to try and fit the situation. So to put it simply no matter what you say it'll either be invalid or just outright stupid. Go ahead say something, make yourself look like an idiot lol.

XMA is as retarded as you are XD. you must own naruto memorabilia lol. lol you wana hear it again, XMA has nothing to do with fighting. prove me wrong anime freak XD

Yea right ;)
I don't do XMA but I'm sure that if people have the balance, timing strength and speed to do XMA that they have an big ass advantage above most people in an fight.
would take them way less effort to learn an effective-street martial art like karate/muay thai etc.
Eterud 3 years ago
well im sure they could learn it being as they are fit. but what im saying here is that they aren't learning a thing about fighting, i could say the same thing you have for someone who does jazzersizing.

They are both advance degree black belts, and neither of them earned their belts because they know how to do back flips. They are black belts because they can whoop dat ass. They have taken their skills with fundamental martial arts techniques to create these ridiculous types of kicks.
Go look up "pain" on my channel's searchbox. You will see these guys are perfectly capable of beating the hell out of other black belts.

There's two ways to enjoy a martial art, for fighting, or for sport. XMA is mainly sport. And what's wrong with that?

tricken101 4 years ago 6
a real martial artist won't knock xma, they would appreciate it. and i have found that most people who are hating on xma are those that have either never tried it or are unable to do it! so if you have never tried it, don't knock it. not all of it is just gymnastics, a simple 540 can kill you if done right! don't believe me, ask Terada to use your head as a target, then you will understand!
bezee00 4 years ago 4
Then again a simple open hand punch to the nose can kill you and thats not difficult to do is it? seriously thats a basic principle of Krav Maga. Whats the point of a 540 if as soon as you begin i just crash into you and break you in two?
FatmanH 3 years ago
Seriously thats a basic principle of every martial arts. The thing is, will ur weekend krav maga be enough to land down a single punch on an everyday training XMA? I think not.
Being able to do a 540, trust me, he will land a punch to your nose before you manage to do one to his. Simple reasoning.
tarmynastyr 3 years ago
Ok pit a krav maga master against an XMA master. Krav Maga wins straight out. It doesn't focus on flips but rather basic biomechanics. In other words what one man can do to another in the most simple effective way. ok he may be fast. Krav Maga basic block in which case XMA man is fucked. He is grounded and can be put in a hold and then from there the Krav Maga master has him at his mercy. End of story

why dont they actually fight each other?
seanaus2007 4 years ago
Because it's a XMA competition...tricks are not meant for combat. It's more art form and show of athleticism...you dont do XMA to learn how to fight although people keep thinking that lol. However I wouldn't be surprised if alot of these dudes knew how to kick ass.
scottv 4 years ago
i would be very suprised if they did know how to fight
seanaus2008 4 years ago
They trained in thier disciplines just like you do in Shotokan. Terada is originally a Tang Soo Do practioner. In fact some of them are actually instructors. They just moved on to tricking cuz it's a sport. Yeah they are just flashy kicks, but they aren't meant to show off fighting skill.

they seem to work hard at thier trade, tricks and such, and until one can truely meet them and get to know them, then it is wrong to make assumptions. as such i think people like celaniix5 do not understand the heart of budo or martial arts or even that of a kind person. i hope that we all find something much more worthwhile to do with our lives than debate on youtube :)

well, it is the notion that many lay persons take this for what All arts encompass that i find unjust, and truely they, not the practitioners, are the culprits of such stereotyping and the reason that suchpoeple fail to see the marvelous outer function and inner devine beauty of traditional arts both martial and fine.

besides if they could get that high with a trick they could certainly use normal martial arts! but I don't think they would stand a chance against Tommy Carruthers

stop badmouthing them - they're entertaining, it seems like with all xma videos people are like oh this sucks and doesn't work and they'll get killed in a real fight, but do u have any clue how acomplished these guys are in "normal" martial arts
oaishymmoto 4 years ago 5
Although all that is just for show, it isn't as if they aren't obviously light on their feet, which is very useful in a real fight, and I would definitely guess they are trained in more than just this XMA stuff.
