yeah it was!!!
omg MK great find!! about 36 seconds in she does this awesome kick. dude i love her kicking.
YEAH BABY! Come on DO IT!
if someone ever yelled anything like that at me when i was competing i would destroy them, and everything they ever loved. then again i think the chances of me competing in XMA are about the same as them ever being able to defend themselves.

and I thought Isshinryu’s Kusanku form was kinda flashy.
Someone, please assist me in plucking out my eyes. My teeth won’t reach that far.
Thank God we have so many venues keeping it real today!!

Mediocrity breeds faster than excellence.
Trickers are here to stay
If you venture into the open circuits, it’s all about the trickers. I don’t think it’s a bad thing personally. Everyone likes a little flash and dazzle. We have some trickers coming into the studio tomorrow for a Tiger Claw modeling shoot.
What’s ironic about it is that the trickers steal a lot from wushu. Now, some are entering into the wushu rings, which is driving the wushu people crazy. It’s parallel to how the traditionalists get all riled up when wushu competitors cross into their rings. We’ve had several issues with it in our Tiger Claw Elite Championship. Given the weird state of modern wushu now, with nandu and all, this has become a complex problem.
So, if the trickers are lifting their moves from wushu, can you say that kung fu has gone “in this direction”?
Looks like that are doing some bizzar flavor of gymnastics, where the dance segment has been replaced by power rangers wannabes.
What does Wu Shu mean again?

Is it me or do her “shouts” sound more like cats getting thier tails stomped on? And The placement totally random.:eek:
That being said, those slow spins with one foot up my her head were very cool; no way in he!! I could pull that off.

i’m saying its ridiculous when the guys do it. but when the women do it, its hot!
seriously, i wish some of the kung fu guys would put the energy into their forms like the karate guys do. even though its a totally different energy, i see so many kung fu people just walking through their forms.
[QUOTE=Shaolinlueb;797175]shes hot and she could almost kick my butt. i like. ;)[/QUOTE]
oh man, you’re not living that one down…never… 
just a bit of a screamy mcgee…
The kid shown in the beginning of this thread is really not that good, this kid Matt Emig on the other hand I think has some serious skills within their genre of sport martial arts’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJEsctdPAgQ
Like their Wushu counterparts these kids are performers and athletes. The two girls shown in the links on this thread (Chloe Bruce & Gemma Nguyen), as well as Matt Emig and the boy shown in beginning, they all train for ‘Open Forms & Open Weapons’ (aka Extreme Martial Arts / XMA / Tricks) competition pure & simple. Whether or not it meets the expectations of traditional martial artists really isn’t relevant for them, much the same way as it goes for Wushu competitors. These aspects of martial arts competitions have evolved & developed their own standards and expected skills sets for winning.
Do I think they can fight? Probably not but it doesn’t matter as most of them are likely not in it for that purpose. On the flipside I would say a very large percentage of Kung Fu folk can’t fight & most of these kids XMA & Wushu kids have three times the speed, agility and athleticism of the average Kung Fu folk.
My two bits… 
To be fair, everyone can fight, just some aren’t motivated to do so sportively or otherwise without reason.
fwiw imo it is a genre unto it’s own and it’s not relevant to sportive combative, self defense or leo/military techs.
