Its Called Tricking - A documentary on the history and culture of martial arts tricking

It's not tricking if you're not having fun. Originating from martial arts kicks, tricking is a form of self-expression that blends kicking, twisting, and flipping into creative combinations. The tricking phenomena, driven by online video sharing, is a global community of athletes who see their art as not only an alternative sport, but a lifestyle.

Throughout 2010, Jacob Wolfman traveled around the country, grabbing whatever camera he could find, and went out and filmed some of the best trickers in the US and the World. Using only the equipment available at the local library, Jacob developed a 50 minute long documentary about tricking by simply letting the trickers in their own words, explain what it is that they do.

Hey guys, Dave C here - Just wanted to drop in and say thanks for all the positive comments on my section of this amazing project (and the personal responses I've received at gatherings as well). It was really an honor to be a part of this, and I respect Jacob immensely for the amount of work and dedication this took. I really do love you all - this community - and I'm glad it seems to come through in this particularly well (especially given the sleep deprivation, among other factors). <3!

@TitoPvp hes been tricking for 5 1/2 years , hes 30 . how long has guthrie been tricking?

[TheParkourskater]

@Dmg017 im pretty good just landed 360 standing back and working on switch to back but i dont really have that many videos uploaded , theyre from awhile ago so theyre pretty bad stuff .ParkourBros6 is the channel

[Dmg017]

@TheParkourskater Yeah well keep moving dude and if you have any videos or any suggestions on tutorials and such let me know.

[TheParkourskater]

@Dmg017 true , true .the lesson is here dont leave home lol na correct them and tell them what it is and thats all

[Dmg017]

@Dmg017 I have training in Muay Thai and othe Martial Arts so I understand they look for technique and the same goes for Parkour dude. It takes Technique and heart to do what we do so why can't the two side just kill the beef because the real enemy is not each other but the fact that alot of us don't do anything to help others with it. That is why I want my own Movement School dedicated to bringing all styles together.

Vellu @ 40:30 really wanted to hear what he had to say
