wow. must be difficult even without a hakama.

I like the background music. anyone has a clue what it is?

[fightjapanrc]

All the music is by a band based in Japan made up of Americans and Europeans called Split Works. I believe you can find them on Myspace.

Looks lovely but all the leaping and twirling about looks like a waste of energy,its one of those arts that while one might admire the skill and athleticism that goes into it you wonder how well directed it all is .

[fightjapanrc]

beauty is alway beautiful. No one would be damaged by learning this art.

[iroscoe]

I don't doubt its beauty or the chance for character development involved in any artistic endeavour,but a lumpen luddite like me would have trouble squaring the effort versus the effect of such a 'fighting' art . P.S Yes i am kind of jealous that i could never do the sort of balletic gymnastics in Taido .

There we go. Diogenes found his honest man.

Now this is a martial ART. A lot of people forget the meaning to that word. Anyone can train to fight, y'know, boxing, muay thai, wrestling. All the stuff people say has "pointless shit you can't use in a real fight" they forget the art form can be like a painting, a dance, a self expression. Some styles like jeet kune do you can translate all that into real time effectiveness in a real fight. But for the most part, a real good MA should help project you as a person, physical and mental.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems to me to be a derivative of Brazilian capoeira or possibly Korean taekgyeon, with a bit of karate tossed in for flavoring.

Though it's a good thing that they're using those narrow hakama rather than the bajou-bakama more commonly used in Japanese martial arts; that would necessitate the use of a lot of ukemi-waza against "hakama-nage"! :P

[SuckMyKintama]

That is so flippin' cool. It's like a capoeira with control.

[betavideos1]

is a kind of Brazilian capoeira dance without

[deek77]

Wow, I'm kind of a Japanese martial arts geek, but I've never heard of this style before today. Seems like the Japanese counterpart to modern wushu. The dogi looks real stylish. Definitely for younger legs, I imagine! This may seem flashy to some, but you still wouldn't want to meet one of them in a dark alley. Excellent video, OSU!

I left practising this martial art at meybe 5 years ago. One day I'll come back. I loved this video, very much thanks from Portugal
