@loopkicks i was wondering when the Demo Team Program will no longer be on hold. i'm very interested and would like to talk to you guys and find out a bit more information on it.

Thanks

[ParkourAssassin08]

Great stuff guys! I could use some of this. :D

[RAYMONDABRIGO]

I am interested in the Martial Arts Demo Team Program. Who do I call?

[mauiboyluvinmma]

Hey loopkicks i belong to west coast fremont and we just started a demo team any advice on where to learn extreme tricks or do you guys teach them?

[hrmpk26]

It's amazing what these kids can do with only the muscles in their appendages. looks really good. I'd advise them not to think they can use that in the real world though.

[kickingartist]

Alot of people who Trick,do so because they need the next level to push to and if they don`t want to go UFC on anybody,lol.

We trickers just want to be understood as high level Martial Artists just like the masters of old,but in a different direction. Cause we know the difference.Plus being able to hit someone in the face with a "high Difficulty" move is awesome. Glad we have an understanding. :)

well said

[N1Kuta]

please tell this music, i can't find it (

[loopkicks]

1901 by Phoenix

[SenseiKelly89]

@N1Kuta

Hey not too sure if you found out or not but this song is called 1901 by Phoenix :)

[1evilmofo]

Gorgeous techniques. I'd love to get some of my students into this, but I only have a handful that have a base technique good enough to bring it to the level of tricking. I'm definitely going to see about building some tricking into the advanced JKD program. When are you guys headed for the east coast?

[loopkicks]

hey evilmofo

unfortunately we're based in the west coast. but we are open and available for seminars of course.

we are going to offer a basic trim of the program, which is access to our online video archive. more details on that later,,

[Huescaxeee]

i love tthe loopkicks ,but i so bad ¬¬ buuuu!! jejejej

[EmpRitz]

OMG I want this so badly...how much?

[loopkicks]

we're playing with prices right now. but its geared towards school owners n instructors

we're gonna have a free LK Program promotional instructor/demo team seminar at Trixmas, so let your school owner know n come thru! (= itll be fun

[dasuberkinchen]

Agreed JuscusImazn.

[loopkicks]

[JuScUsImAzn]

reading all these comments is fucking hilarious. ahaha love you mr. de vera

[loopkicks]

very informative yes? (= love you too khang

[AhmadFrenzel]

good work loopkicks, keep it up :)

[trivium666fan]

I'm not suer exactly what this is supposed to be. What is it this team is meant to do?

[bob19912]

trivium666fan

Pretty much Demonstrate Martial arts.

Thats why its called a Demo Team.

[trivium666fan]

That doesn't seem to make sense to me, though. They are just supposed to be hired to perform tricks for people who are going to do other martial arts?

[bob19912]

The Martial arts that they do is basically a mixture of several types of martial arts such as Wushu, Taekwondo, Capoiera, and etc.

People on the team arnt only doing tricks. They also compete and everything.

Like i said, this is a demo for people that want to learn the tricks used for demonstration purposes.

[trivium666fan]

The thing is, when I read "Need help with your demo team?" it gives a different message. It seems like they are going to teach Demo Teams how to be "Demo Teams," or instructors how to build successful Demo teams.

They do compete, but they use tricking. But to trick, you don't need martial arts training. Most of tricking has little to nothing to do with the martial arts that they derive things from.

[bob19912]

lol dude its just training for other martial arts demo teams. not everything that has to do with martial arts has to be straight up combat.

If you want to get better at tricks and performing in groups that show people how cool martial arts is then sign up for the lessons. x)

[trivium666fan]

That's what I was asking. I don't know why you're bringing up the "combat" thing. You said they use martial arts, too. I'm just correcting the fact that it doesn't HAVE to use martial arts training. I know many trickers who just did things like gymnastics or just wanted to get into tricking without ever doing martial arts.

All I wanted to know was what this was about. I mean, I taught at my kung fu school for almost 2 years, and our demo team performed completely different to this. So, idk.

[loopkicks]

hello trivium,

the program is meant to help those schools in need of assistance for developing their own demo teams. we've been inquired hundreds of times by school owners for this kind of training and we're answering those inquiries now. our instructors will travel to those schools who sign up for the program, and teach their students our methods of performing tricking techniques and hand/formation choreography HANDS ON just like the information next to the vid says

...

[loopkicks]

and its true what you say about trickers being able to learn tricks without martial arts experience. but 1) 9 outta 10 times, their technique will be sloppy, and 2) they'll look like horrible gymnasts rather than martial arts trickers, and 3) they're much more inclined to suffer injury. and even at that, tricks are only ONE PART of the program. you absolutely NEED martial arts training to learn how to kick and punch and hit stances that competitively forms and demo team choreography require

...

[loopkicks]

if you have your own demo team, then theres no reason for you to waste your time posting here lol this program is meant for the school in need of help for their demo team

its not all that hard to understand really

[trivium666fan]

I think that's kind of prejudice. I know many people who did martial arts and look a lot more sloppy because they don't have the proper tumbling training that a gymnast does. Or the flexibility. Also, gymnastics has many stances, and depending on the level, are a lot harder than the martial arts stances I learned from TKD and Kung Fu. I do think you need martial arts training for competitive forms, but tricking in it of itself doesn't. I've seen kids that admire your work trick without training.

[loopkicks]

uhmm if you're not kicking, you're not tricking lol tricking is the short term used for 'Martial Arts Tricking' and you absolutely need martial arts training to learn how to kick properly, because simply swinging your leg out there just isn't gonna cut it.

[trivium666fan]

Ballet does kicking, too. "Tricking" is short for "Martial Arts Tricking" but it doesn't take martial arts to kick or trick. I've done martial arts for years and know gymnasts who can do a better 720 and aim it properly than many martial artists simply because fighting(martial arts) and performing(tricking) are not one in the same. A kick isn't specific to martial arts.

[loopkicks]

swimmers kick too n donkeys too HAHA but quit trying to be smart with me. we all know what kind of kicks we're talking about

im sure many gymnasts can 'kick' better than a low lvl martial artists. but theres NO WAY even an olympic lvl gymnast can kick as strong as a seasoned competitive martial artist without proper training. be more specific w/ yer comparisons

n yer wrong you must kick to be a tricker. its 1/3rd part of the definition of MA tricking as said by the MA tricking community itself

[loopkicks]

and thats all im gonna say to you buddie.. thanks for all the questions.. helped shed some light on what tricking is and what the program is all about for anyone else who might have been wondering

[trivium666fan]

I made the ballet comment because you said you need martial arts training to know how to kick. There are many people who learn how to trick from youtube videos. It doesn't require training to swing your leg. And you don't need to learn TKD to keep your leg straight during a spin. I've done martial arts for many years and I taught for about half the time I practiced. I'm sure you're more experienced, but I have enough experience to know that tricking and martial arts aren't AS related as you say.

[IgaNinBatsu]

If that's the way you feel then that's the way you feel. Outside of the dojo, you can view tricking how you want to...everyone has their own definition and opinion of it.

However, this looks like a program that's for "martial art demo teams", and helping them learn about tricking in a way that relates to them.

Over the past few years, MAT has changed dramatically, and though there has been a lot of progress; there has also been far too many sacrifices on technique to make it happen.

[trivium666fan]

The thing was, originally, I wasn't making comments about tricking as a sport. It just seemed to me like there were 2 things that existed in the sidebar. 1, we can teach your team how to trick. Or, 2, we can teach you how to create a demo team. And I wanted to know what it was, so I asked as general as I could, which was, "What is this team meant to do?"

I got my answer, but then tricking requiring martial arts came into topic when Loopkicks judged gymnasts as being "sloppy" at tricking w/o MA

[loopkicks]

uh ohhh you're twisting my words... when did i say gymnasts are sloppy at tricking without martial arts??? i said so-called "trickers" who try to trick without kicking will just look like sloppy gymnasts. 2 different things.

you need to read before you post

[DrewMalone1]

tricking is just martial arts done at a high level without the basic kicks and form down u will get hurt and u wont have good lines or technique

[trivium666fan]

okay, I was pretty much just over this conversation. But quite simply, tricking is much more closely related to gymnastics and tumbling than it ever will be to martial arts. I've seen many different tricking performances from Matt Emig to Anis Cheurfa to Chris deVera, and I can say that tricking is meant for flash and appearance more than fight training. And that's the purpose of martial arts. When you move away from that, you are distancing from martial arts. Plain and simple.

[loopkicks]

yer arguments are terribly all over the place bro

[trivium666fan]

This isn't about the same topic of what I was talking with you. It's one thing to say, what I got from you, that tricking requires martial arts training, at least to be good, than saying, "tricking is just martial arts done at a high level," which is what who I responded to said. The arguments don't have to be alike.

[DrewMalone1]

dude noone said it was for combat? Tricking is martial arts done at a high level there are kicks in pretty much every move, maybe not the fulls but the fulls are martial arts fulls not gymnastic fulls, i think u need to do some more work on what tricking is, and quit giving loopkicks a hard time cause that program looks awesome and with out the martail arts basics it looks bad so check it bro

[trivium666fan]

If you think that tricking is advanced martial arts, then you're saying that trickers are better martial artists than Masters who don't do tricking. I know many masters that really don't do a lot of ariel things. In fact, many martial arts don't. Are you saying that high ranking judo fighters aren't advanced martial artists? I'm not giving Loopkicks a hard time. But as an ex-martial arts instructor, I know what real martial arts are. And they AREN'T tricking.

[kickingartist]

@trivium666fan let me help u out dude,I can see what u`re saying.But Tricking originated from SPORT MA and then took a life on it`s own.I trick and have been known to hit people with these moves that would "never work in a real fight" If u train it the right way it all works and some people use tricking as a way to keep pushing once they have grown to a high level MA wise.Please understand we trickers mean no disrespect when we defend what we do.See U soon Chris!

[trivium666fan]

This post makes the most sense out of all the other responses I've gotten. There is no need/reason to apologize. I only ask that people don't take the practicality of a TKD roundhouse,Judo throw,or gung fu lock,& say tricking is more "advanced." Yes, some people can pull off a trick in a fight(i actually know 1 person who has), but that's different to pulling off a roundhouse to the knee or heel kick to the solar plexus.

[KevinPrins]

@trivium666fan ''You ain't TRICKING, If you ain't KICKING''  -Kjer

[vanmarty83]

At a high level?? It looks awesome. And I really think that does guys from loopkicks have a unique talent and are great gymnasts. But the only thing they´re kicking, are the flies out of the air. I think we all know how martial arts started, so I think we all know that tricking is just looking good. for a guy like me, that is training muay thai almost every day, it´s pretty funny that you say that I don´t train at a high level, just because I don´t twist 8 times while I kick my opponent

[DrewMalone1]

dude iam saying thats what tricking is that is one part of martial arts the fighting part is another with out a basic fondation ur "tricking " will be bad thats what iam saying its taking the basics and performing them high, u can be a high level martial artist and not trick thats fine but what iam saying is that martial arts tricking is martial arts done at a high level

[trivium666fan]

What throws me off is that it seems like you're asking to go to certain martial art schools and are going to teach tricking forms, or at least extreme martial arts forms. That's what I get from the sidebar. I just wanted to know if that was what this is about.

[loopkicks]

yeah that exactly how it works.

we're not gonna show up to a school unless they're interested lol

the schools that are NOT interested simply wont inquire, right?

[trivium666fan]

Alright, see, that makes sense. Because "kicking harder, jumping higher," etc, can come from intensive training from any martial arts. And so I was torn between whether this was a "teach tricking" or "teach how to teach/teach how to make a demo team" thing. Sorry for the problem and if I caused any tension in anyone. lol

[Huescaxeee]

ejjejej wow your are fantastics i love its :)

[bielefelderbobby]

awsum!!!

[loopkickspete]

mixed feelings...but good job

SEE YOU THIS WEEK!!!

[yuvalkabilio]

I wish there was something like that in Israel :(

[ShaneWarren0]

great job guys, make that money

[SpnKick540]

Replace example of backsweep @ 0:25. Poor form.

[loopkickspete]

die in a housefire

[SpnKick540]

Incredibly ironic that I'm a studying Paramedic/Firefighter.

[loopkicks]

tricking backsweep n wushu backsweep are two different things and used differently

[SpnKick540]

Completely agree. However, the clip where the entire group was doing backsweeps in synch showed Sessh doing a much cleaner backsweep. So I know he's capable. Also, the kid in the middle of the back line also had a superior demonstration of a backsweep.

[SpnKick540]

Shit, I forgot to at least give props for the entire video.

Good to see the team that got most people I know into this sport releasing some genuine material for schools and instructors.

[loopkicks]

cool ill keep that in mind.. you should see how sloppy our sweeps get in the mid-combo hahaha, but thanks for the input

[Monkey45w]

WOW awesome stuff guys

thanks for uploading this vid :)

great job ^^

5/5

[YoAlanKun]

[kixxxtyler]

Everyone is doing everything exactly the same way, and it looks amazing. Thats so much harder a skill than it looks

[garvamel]

so excellent!

best of luck

[AndyLeeMFH]

nice! great to see you guys keeping up martial arts and basics

[blkmuscle07]

what forms is this?

[loopkicks]

these aren't any traditional forms from any martial art. we take bits and pieces from taekwondo, karate, wu shu and more and create our own techniques. theyre used for demonstration purposes only

[thaison92]

this is awesome

[cainofstyle]

Very Very Very Very Good Program!!!

Amazing Initiative for the young student!!!

[grasseline]

That kid is really good for his age. You guys never cease to amaze me, regardless of the video. Very nice

[loopkicks]

[greytale]

SWEET!!!! Personally, I can't wait until I'm healed up enough to keep in shape and get some L-K training... :)

Thank you for posting this...
