Battle of Atlanta 2003 Extreme Weapons bo kata

[genecoates]

It's funny how much people chat absolute rubbish on you tube. Face it she is a great athlete but can you honestly say she is using that bo correctly? Don't look anything like the bo kata I've seen in okinawa good luck to her she was still entertaining but that was not a bo kata

[Branrssd]

What's with all the hate? She is VERY talented. The music, it's mandatory. The screams, are to put fear into your enemy. If you wanna talk shit, grab a bo, and show us what you got... that's what I thought.

[TheGabrielOne]

crappy music no offence.

[nickthestick04]

this wolvovoy guy this girl could beat him to death with a pebble

[DementedDegsy]

this is sad ! she clearly has skill but the emphasise on performance has sullied the practice of the art ! this way of training is a typical syndrome of a lot but not all North American concepts of Martial Arts ! it would of been much much more pleasing without the music and screaming and of been able to watch her movements ! this sort of thing should be in a circus !

[colin540]

lol...

[colin540]

lol... it's sport karate and the division was required music.

[Zoklor]

I see a lot of these bo kata as really fast and amped up like this, but then some styles that are really controlled and a normal kata pace. Whats the difference and is it dependent on the martial art style?

[xcrimson1234567890]

@Zoklor the fast, flashy ones are often very much like dancing. it is pleasing to the eye.

The slow kata are traditional forms developed for self-defense. repetition of either style results in bo skill, repetition of the slower type provides technique for actually neutralizing an enemy. it is nearly impossible to bunkai the super-fast ones.

[CanadianGirl215]

wolvoboy probably gets his ass kicked by girls all the time!!!!

[1banryukyu]

The little girl has talent I would love to see her train in Okinawan Kobudo and post some rokushaku bo or kubo kata or even the jo bo. Thank you for the video Osu

[JonnyDiggs]

she owns that thing and she's got attitude :) 5/5

[TimeSplitter64]

nice flashy performance, i hope their teachers are showing them the proper way to actually attack, as apose to just spinning.....

[Anusdhka]

Dont mess with that girl

[leolord1992]

OMG:.. esa niña da miedo... Ni yo puedo dominar asi el BO... =X

[thedamnedapostle]

wow, that is an angry child

[Lamusaultrajada]

This new modality it´s kind of cool, but honestly I prefer the traditional martial arts, american hybrid arts or acrobatic seem unrespectfull to me.

[DZAUDZI69]

think that's your girlfriend, & she's angry with you... RUNN!!!!! xD

[auric18]

Thats awsome!

[vedyboy]

Hey does anyone know any good kata/form songs?... thanks

[TimeSplitter64]

anything really, just as long as the song is not cheesy and try hard wanna be

[squibb77]

lol you're supposed to screa, thats were a lot of your power comes from. believe it or not you can hit a hell of a lot harder if you expel air while delivering the strike. not only that but it intimidates your opponents :D

[Ironporksword]

Like a real-life mini-elektra.

Very disciplined young girl

Thanks for posting :)

[xxXxxuselessxxXxx]

thats a bit short to be called a bo staff, maybe a ju staff??

[allshallbelosttoyou]

why do these people feel the need to scream? every time i see a weapons demo like this there's all ways someone trying to deafen me. can't they just showcase their skill and save our ears the torment? its like the one deaf guy who assumes no one else can hear either-.-

[HighVoltage124]

actually the scream isn't just for show, they use the exhalation of breathe to add power to the strike. it also helps to regulate your breathing seeing as you can get winded pretty fast ;)

[brettsc26]

Shes awesome and all....but thats the scariest sight in the world....pissed off 8 year old who has mastered the "I'm going to stick this piece of wood through your face" yell. Think of 30 of those little girls rolling up on you....I'd wet myself

[ibloois]

this looks nice but it has nothing to do with budo. This is acrobatics with a bo-like-stick.

[whyXtry]

dude freaking sweet!! wish i could whip my bo around that fast... might be able to if i actually practiced extreme stuff instead of mostly traditional. damn teaching... but that's awesome!! especially for being so young!! totally jealous!!

[vedyboy]

go girl... tell those bullies not to take your money

[assalant777]

im 17 and she could woop my ass, shit...

[wikiih]

gotta layoff cafeine.. but she kicks ass! =D

[SammelR85]

Look at the people jump behind her when she starts her performance

[SammelR85]

WOW! 8 years old???

I didn't even touch a bow until I was 16 and I still can't do things like that (maybe if I practiced it would help)

[highwind8124]

This is the coolest little girl in the world. That was awesome.

[Bostaffman]

she rocks.. but the music was better.. what was it plz

[icemanarc]

I was impressed by her Shen. If I had that kind of a student, I could turn her into an amazing Shaolin warrior.

Terrible kata, excellent kung fu and technique.

And, yeah, give her a break on weight of staff, she is very young. What's most important is her biomechanics and reflexes are excellent.

[lilsexiitalian11]

awesome effort!

[serriously]

i think she flashed a gang sign towards the end

[massabsamurai]

you guys needa appreciate all the effort she is putting towards what she is tryina do with all the traditional and sport shit aside...

[patriconde]

tomaaaaaaaaaa!

[WAMMBAT420]

8?! dam shes bad ass lol

[wolvoboy]

she cant fight them so she screams at them,

she aint that fast give her a real bo then you would see how slow she is,now if she was that fast with a real bo then that would be something

[colin540]

she's 8yrs old... you need to get a life! this was a 'sport' tournament. get your head out of your a s s!

[havtor007]

the show Bo's is light to make it cooler Learn the dif Bos befor you talk of it

[laidoka]

Ahh, nothing like war-cries and ego stroking poses to teach our young ones the way of peace. ;D

[aelyxir]

Holy crap, that girl is fast as hell!

[aiko4321]

Her dress and how she screamed is like a little witch.. recalls me Harry Potter ... But this lil one is scary... God bless her bf one day.. Kidding.. Nice performance of creative kata.. wonderful at her age.. even I personally dont like creative kata or screaming liks this, her performance is outstanding :)

[lawlNinja]

I WOULD NOT FUCK WITH THIS LITTLE GIRL

[usinoz]

Out standing! Your master and family should be very proud of you little one.

[exfire15]

ok 1 she scares me 2whats with the robe 3why does she need to scream so much lol

[colin540]

not a robe but a gi top and hakama. she needs to scream because if she doesn't the judges won't give her a trophy! thats NASKA for you. lol

[texabara]

very good freestyle! very artistic, but noncombative*...she is a goodperformer at her short age! :) congratulations!

*nonmcombative 'cause the bo is handle too much time with one hand. Every turn of the bo is an opportunity to block it and disarm her :(

[narutoloverlevi]

waaaait a minute...you just dissed the ultimate bo didnt ya!?!(

[NeoShadow617]

FUCK ! this little girl scare me

xp

[marco838]

Ma che cazzo son ste robe? una specie di ginnastica artistica?

[lugadi]

LOL at the girls behind.

S C A R Y

id eat her

[HippieSahn5]

Its Amazing This Little Girl Can Actually Kick My ass!

[kyosahnim]

whoa, that girl is awesome, i was like this =O

[nathanial4]

haha if u look the 2 girls behind her at the start are scared and i dont blame them

[floetcist]

She's like 4'8 and I'm scared of her.

[LINQ0311]

This kid is bad ass.

[Magikano]

whoa that was great, very impressive. while her friends are playin with barbies shes learnin to whoop ass

[smits]

kiyahs are to help the energy flow outwards from u

[Jesusrocksout]

that and when u kiyah it tightens your body so u can take impact with the littles damage. Pls it workd for distracting enemies.

[SuperSunny]

thats sick

[Shindai]

"Real martial artists wouldn't have any screaming." You volunteer to tell Musashi he was wrong? :p lol. That kid's seriously fast, impressive speed on her. Pity it's entirely for flash purposes, but still impressive.

[MKH90]

Some real martial arts have the screams (AKA. kiai:s), yes, but they would be yelled at the moment of the attack, not while pausing the movement.

Impressive, but as I said, the yells are either done at the attack moment, or not at all.

[oathseeker]

dude this girl looked constipated. shes good and all but whats up with the screaming? real martial arts wouldn't have any screaming. jeez people these days pass down martial arts thinking its all cool to go HIYAAAAAA and YAAAAA. plz think twice when running in a situation screaming YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­A otherwise that was some seriously nice bo staff skills for a youngster. lots of potential in that kid.

[Bayani1012]

Yeah, have to agree. She's got some good skills, but that's sports martial arts for you. Those ki-yahs are just to get the crowd going. Bleh.

[jimmyjoejoeshabadoo]

It's about breathing etc. that's what the yells are for.

[MSimp2k6]

'real' martial arts have plenty of 'screaming'. Vocalising your aggression helps you concentrate. It also helps you tense your muscles at the point of impact and also aids your breathing.

Oh, and if someone punches you in the gob while screaming like a banshee, are you telling me that you wouldn't be slightly more intimidated?

[paintballonaim]

No, mainly it's that so if you get hit somewhere, like in the stomach, you have no air in your lungs so it hurts a whole lot less than if you had screamed nothing at all.

[jaymzleon]

anybody know the name of the song? or at least the artist?

[Biomajor2006]

jesus tapdancin' christ! i wish I was that fast!

[tassadar1977]

Never give your kids red cordial...

[mofoman999]

she scares me...

[berner]

Man if reincarnation exists, I wanna come back as her or at least her best friend. No more fear of bullies in public school anymore :)

[crosseyedweeweeface]

i didn know elemantary kids could be trained to kick serious hole.... physics-1 me-0. i got better vids like this on my channel...click on my name

[gtman316]

I used to boast that there was no 8 year old girl out there who could kick my ass.

Alas, I am shamed. If Borat were here, he'd say, "VehE Niice"

[highspeeda1c]

ya'll are retarted acting like you know what your talkin about by good form and all and this and that good be better... that was bad ass no matter what, shut the hell up

[soulnova]

WOW... Im scared.... Very cool video

[catlips]

SO PISSED OVER NOTHING!!!

[tylerxma]

ur stupid

[chrispayne90]

AWSOME :O !!!

[Jagticon]

yea..nice performance...its fun to watch. All this really fast moves,rage. But no soul. The more i watch it so less it has to do with martial arts and becomes more of a show

[colin540]

why haven't you posted any of your own videos Grand Master.

[jaymzleon]

lol thats funny :)

[GunnyUKLF]

the shame of this is that the girl clearly has talent and a desire to learn, shame it isn't spent learning something worthwhile.

[ZonaX]

O My F*cking God!

Thats some very creapy shit man O_O

A 8 YEAR OLD! Darn, i wish i was that good with my chakus xD

[MJBarry]

Excellent control, but she was losing balance and stance for power. In a demonstration, the aim should be to perfect the form, not to intimidate opponents.

Is this the japanese or chinese style?

[colin540]

made up japanese form

[MJBarry]

aha, that would explain the strength of her forward energy. The chinese forms traditionally value a balance between softness and hardness.

[wolvoboy]

why!does everybody think that every move has got to be as fast as possible,for me there is no feeling to the performance only anger comes across.change the timing and put pauses between combinations,and it will look more like a bo kata than at the moment a dance

[colin540]

This was an Open/Extreme division not a traditional kata.

[10rman]

This is more of an XMA performance, it's a style.

[Fonzatron]

Too much anger! Of course her hands are fast and well practiced but overall not very coordinated, just look at her legs move.

[colin540]

lol! I'm sure you were much better at 8yrs old Fonzi.

[Fonzatron]

Hehe, thats true... ;-)

[smokinmantis]

damn girl you really know how to get down on da stick best 1 i've seen so far on the tube
