A History of Sport Martial Arts - The Rise of Tricking

[JustElijah]

I was looking forward to an hour of this kinda stuff, to know where tricking came from and what it's all about, in the "It's Called Tricking" documentary; but I saw/heard more ridicule and arrogance than I could enjoy for that long. There were people in the trailer I was looking forward to hearing from, but they weren't even in it. I paid like £10 or so for it as well, when it's now free; making me feel like an absolute fool. Apart from that upset, this vid is beast! More of this please!

[Kvvun]

I miss manny brown, chris de vera and jeremy marinas... but it´s still great video!!!!!!

[menciao]

No manny brown???

[powertubemoves]

awesome video! is such a shame coz now tricking is all about cork! those guys from the past respect to them!!

[0XaoXao0]

WHERE IS OTT?!



[NateHitpas]

@0XaoXao0 Ott isn't/wasn't a martial artist. This tricking at its roots.

[IsseiS10]

aniiiiis

[masterraymondtorres]

all UFC fighters Martial Artist.. They are fighters.. Not Martial Artist. So if you only perform in a open forms division and do more tricking also don't fight.. You a gymnast or a actor. Act like you are a martial artist.. Just saying.

[masterraymondtorres]

Kung Fu started tricking.. Break dancers took it in the 80's then martial arts took it back in the 90's. I like watching it, however, if you trick.. Please fight also, because if you only perform KATA with a punch, kick or two and perform most of your KATA tricking, your not a martial artist.. Your a gymnast.. A lot of people who trick, learn a few kicks and punches.. A weapon uses and adds his/her tricks and calls themselves MARTIAL ARTIST. They in fact are not.. That's like calling all UFC fi

[theendlesssuffering]

What about Ernie Reyes and their West Coast Action Team?

[Malcham7]

7 people got injured by trying to duplicate the moves from this video

[mkfan786]

Jon Valera ftw

[froliciouspanda]

It's weird that non of really know how much our actions will affect us in the future. When these martial artiest were adding tricks to their kata they would have never guessed it would have spawned something like tricking. All they wanted to do was be more creative.

[encore36]

@ThatOneGuy5515 It does say sport martial arts. Were it not for this, tricking might not be what it is today. Lists can't include everyone but history books don't include every single detail in history either. Its a start.

[Spookimitsu]

Anthony Atkins... is that Sesshomaru??

[gimlysadasda]

@Spookimitsu Sesh's real name is Sean Ellis 

[Spookimitsu]

@gimlysadasda

Thank you sir

[gimlysadasda]

@Spookimitsu My pleasure.

[SithV1]

Great video. Although I don't do any XMA, only traditional Martial Arts, I have always have respect for these competitors that bring a level of energy to the competition floor. I have judged creative forms for young up and coming competitors, and I have always enjoy watching creative forms.

[FauzanHassan]

Daniel Graham. :)

[UniqueMartialArts]

to be honest i was surprised when i didnt see Taylor Lautner his XMA was incredible when he was younger

[Sayjustnothing]

Wow. Good Job! :D nice flow btw

[GuardianArt]

This is not a history of tricking, but a history of open forms. Ernie Reyes Jr is the real god father and were it all really starts.

[bboyHarrypotter]

hahahaha it skips 4:40

[flippinthescript]

@ThatOneGuy5515 I'd make the video 20 years long if I had the time...

[herkesus]

@flippinthescript you did ._. 1990-2010

[flippinthescript]

@herkesus No, this video is four minutes and forty one seconds long.

[Kira3150]

Nice video Song > Video ?

[flippinthescript]

@Kira3150 My song. Custom made. :)

[Kira3150]

@flippinthescript  Tell me this very good song > sorry for bad english xD

[428ghost]

Wicked retrospective.

[M16Entertainment]

WHERE IS CHRIS DEVERA IN ALL THAT!!!

His first famous forms in 1998 revolutionised martial arts tricking!

[flippinthescript]

@M16Entertainment I didn't have any videos of Chris DeVera forms from that era, only samplers, and I tried to stick with competition (sport martial arts) videos. But you're right - Chris DeVera is a hero of mine.

[TrickHunter]

@flippinthescript ... a hero for all of us :)

[MongenathaN]

looking forward to the documentary!!!!!

great job!!

[andydurnford]

this was awesome, however what would have really topped it off for me would be the inclusion of trickers outside of forms or just some more complicated combo's towards the end years.

[MikeMaguireNY]

I hope i dont come across as a dick but what im trying to say is after about 2003-2004 trickers started to take things into their our hands and the evolution of tricking started to happen from people who just tricked to trick, not for karate or to compete. this video should of ended around 2004.

I still love flipping the script and what you guys are doing for the sport :) <3

[flippinthescript]

@MikeMaguireNY I'm fully aware of the history of tricking, and all these facts you stated. This video isn't a definitive guide to tricking history, but it is relevant. I only created this to show competitors in sport martial arts and how the styles changed and adapted. Maybe someday when I'll have time I'll create "A History of Tricking" video. I guess the moral of the story... don't read too deep into this vid- just sit back and appreciate it for what it is. FtS <3 Mike Maguire.

[flippinthescript]

@MikeMaguireNY One more thought before I go- look at this way if you don't get where I'm coming from... I could have called the video "A History of Sport Martial Arts - the Evolution of Hand Combinations" or "A History of Sport Martial Arts - the Rise of Weapon Tossing". I think the key word is "A history", not "The history". Ok, I'm done. Thanks for your replies.

[MikeMaguireNY]

This is more like the history of sport karate. Tricking has a lot more history then just sport karate. There were much more important things that happened outside of sport karate that influenced the growth of tricking.

The first gathering in 2003 in Toronto (they were the first to call it a gathering), about mannys browns first swing through. or Chris Balualua doing the first doublebtwistHyperHook.

it needs more clips from things that happened in the tricking community not sport martial arts.

[flippinthescript]

@MikeMaguireNY "This is more like the history of sport karate." Yes, I know. That's why I titled the video "A History of Sport Martial Arts", not "The History of Tricking". The purpose of the video was to illustrate how kicks in competition evolved over the years, the subtitle "the rise of trick" illustrates the consequence of this evolution, the beginning of a new sport. At least for the first 12-13 years, these guys were responsible for the inception of tricking. ... to be continued...

[HaoPK]

Holy fucking shit that Matt Emig form was insane.

[caroto]

What is the Song?

[flippinthescript]

@caroto It was custom made for me by TCF Music. The song is called "Jacob's Revelation" - it's the main song featured in my upcoming documentary, "It's Called Tricking".

[caroto]

@flippinthescript Aight. Nice song and nice job

[TheOmnivers]

each of the martial artist is certainly a good performer, but the whole has nothing to do with real martial arts! this is the wrong way!

[Shaolin913]

To be honest this video should have included ALOT more people. But the vid probably would be 10 - 20 minutes longer.

[00filu]

wow, what an excellent job !

[herkesus]

1993- Date of birth future best tricksters!

[PhilippePhengrasmy]

Trickers will dominate the world !!!

[mrhayhurst]

Awesome!!!

[jefferlew]

This is one of the most amazing inspirational videos I have ever seen for tricking period!

Great Edit!

A++++++++++

[yuvalkabilio]

This video makes me wanna cry, I love tricking so much...

[mizzin]

2:01 haha I love the old school corkscrew :D

[zonamarcial]

Nice Job! I love it, all the history!

[tony3tobias]

nice video and great job... but where is Sammy Vasquez.

[flippinthescript]

@tony3tobias yeah, no Sammy, no Kalman, no Marcel, no Dechelle, no Gemma... I could go on. But you're right, Sammy deserves to be in this list.

[greytale]

@flippinthescript hey, you did a great job... I mean--you're right... no Jeremy Marinas... no Hans Wikkeling... not even DeVera!! :D

But it's cool... trickers know what you're getting at. It's a good homage, and the only main beef I have would be... try to get better quality clips, and/or render things without losing too much quality? I know that's hard though, believe me...

[flippinthescript]

@greytale meh. I made this back in November and was using it as a concept for my documentary project. I didn't plan on releasing it publicly, but I changed my mind yesterday. I didn't put much time into it. I'll have to make a 2nd edition sometime that's more focused specifically on tricks.

[twistedSkyo]

@flippinthescript i would very much aprreciate that

[twistedSkyo]

If u want to know what tricking really is, check the right guys >> 3:39 ^^

[flippinthescript]

@twistedSkyo ...or look at nearly all the other videos I've posted! Lol. Danny Graham did go absolutely nuts in that form though.

[twistedSkyo]

@flippinthescript haha wasnt clear as i shoudve been, ment the guys on the right side, anis and co! :) They are so fucking motivating him! :p During best sessions, all tricksters motivate each other to even more, MORE, MOAR! :)

[flippinthescript]

@twistedSkyo Haha oh yeah for sure! At the end of that form, they all just ran out in the ring and freaking lost it.

[karwac]

rise of tricking without Daniel Sterling, without Calman Csoka, without Sesshoumaru... damn Man...it's time to start to dig, and learn something about tricking:D

[999taira]

Tricking? I think its Exrtreme Martial Arts in this video. Not even martial arts tricking.

Tricking is a free style discipline and its only inspired by xma.

[flippinthescript]

@999taira Both XMA and tricking stem from these legends. The term "XMA" has only been around for a few years. Both sports wouldn't be what they are if it wasn't for these martial artists trying to out-do each other year after year in competition.

[999taira]

@flippinthescript Ur right but tricking is not that much related to martial arts anymore. Many of my tricking friends cant do a simple roundkick while doing dbl fulls and corks in advanced combinations.

And i forgot to say that i realy like Ur video. ;)

[tommialeksi]

Thank you for collecting and preserving history of tricking.

[kickyim]

All I can say is Thank You Jacob, for making this,

Seeing our beloved sport rise throughout the years from its origins and develop to what it has become like this is .... indescribable, it's touching on a level I can't explain. This video sent chills down my spine. It really makes me proud to be part of our amazing community, and to keep training and contributing to our beloved sport ...

[flippinthescript]

@kickyim Wow, you're welcome. :)

[flippinthescript]

@kickyim Wow, you're welcome. :)

[BobbySaranglaoNZ]

LMAO 3:40

[willepille123]

Was really impressed there by some of the guys. And that kid crain kicked ass!

[itme20]

:D <3

[Takuraba]

this was dope.

[gdong]

so nostalgic, even tho i'm not a martial artist, ppl gotta understand that w/o these innovators, we wouldnt b the ppl we are now

[kellock71]

I love this! =]

[ItsAllJustMovement]

shoulda put Mike Guthrie in there man ahhhhh!!! Anis killed it tho!

[NateHitpas]

@ItsAllJustMovement It's not about the tricking dude. It's about the martial arts.

[ItsAllJustMovement]

@NateHitpas Fuck u Nate just...just...Fuck you!!!! HA! Just playin bro, your a beast. much love haha <3 for real tho u are a beast. :)

[NateHitpas]

@ItsAllJustMovement Lol you scared me for a sec man haha XD. I thought you were legit pissed lol. But thanks so much bro, that means a lot <33333 XD

[flippinthescript]

@ItsAllJustMovement I tried to chose the athletes that were the best competitors of their time. Mike Guthrie was never a big presence in competition.

[MXtremeMartialart]

Very good Editing..

Only one Word : EvOlUtion..! ;-))

[patcatanyag]

very nicely done. :) tricking has evolved SO much over the past 20 years. cool to actually have it showcased in this way.

[flippinthescript]

@patcatanyag thanks!

[tricknickmusic]

I love the fact that all of them are martial artists. Not hating on just trickers.

[tricking4life1]

@tricknickmusic a lot of trickers came from martial arts, what are you talking about

[tricknickmusic]

@tricking4life1 tricking started from martial arts, but today there are trickers with no martial arts experience.

[flippinthescript]

@tricknickmusic It's amazing how many trickers today don't believe or respect the fact that these athletes are the root of the sport.

[lucasoliveirabh1]

gozei!
