ha. this is why comments should not even be allowed on here. it gives people who would not be allowed to speak in public an open forum for their shennanigans. thanks to wngo70 for a little common sense. he must be older than 12
guys lol. this is a demonstration team. so no need to bash on him just because "acrobatics isn't used in fighting". of course it isn't used but these guys are a demo team.
I've done Taekwondo, Jujitsu, Boxing and Thai boxing, in all my time doing martial arts I've never seen a use for acrobatics.
Acrobatics in martial arts, in my opinion is an 80's relic of American martial art films. It has somehow devolved into the belief among some practitioners that looking flash means you are strong, skilled and going to come out the victor.
well your wrong, the original tkd from korea had a lot of flying kicks and jumps, cuz tkd's main purpose was to fight against cavalry, so the flying kicks and jumps were used to knock soldiers of horses
Do you guys realize who you're making fun of? Ernie Reyes Sr (and Jr.) was one of the forefathers to American Martial Arts, this guy is a legend. Its not supposed to be practical, its just another element added to martial arts. Like he said in the beginning......
This guys is not really TKD. Its as far away from traditional TKD. But it gets him students because it looks flashy. Like TKD doesn't look flashy enough.
Is he really? That's cool. Him and his son are off the chain in Surf Ninjas. I kind of wish they did more movies. I'm a fan. It good to see he's teacher others, though.
Why do people bash what they don't know how to do?
Martial arts is about more than fighting and defense.
