Dunno if anybody's posted this, but thought it was pretty cool. This guy was on Quest Crew, who I think won America's Best Dance Crew. I'm sure it's a disgrace to real martial arts, but it's still pretty damn entertaining.

Anyway I thought this thread was going to be about Flash's new pair of shoes.

About only turning left... If I tell you to stand up and do a 360 degree jump you'd have one direction that owuld feel more natural to you. Sure you can do it both ways but if you had to bet your house on it you'd do it in the direction you feel more comfortable.

Some of it looked more like break dancing than martial arts but that's still pretty kick ass.

If he actually hit anything while doing that he would probably break his neck

I can imagine why turning right would feel very awkward. Maybe it's because you have to use your left leg to swing and get momentum and if you're right-handed it's not as comfortable?

Yea it's just much more comfortable to turn left. I know because I took Taekwondo for a long time and I still find that doing spin kicks turning left are much easier than the other way.

edit: btw he's like a Law/Eddie hybrid from tekken =O.

Agreed that spinning left is easier.

This is a dance routine, not a way to fight, but the physical skills it requires certainly have practical applications.
My strategy is to fork people.

aesthetic, but I guess that kinda martial art is just for showcasing. He'd get powned if he'd ever try to do that in a real fight against any competent martial artist

I don't think it's a disgrace to real martial arts cause in one of the clips, a guy holds out his hand with one of those gloves on, and he hits the mark dead center. it's one thing to flip but to hit ur mark too that's sayin somethin.

nothing pseudo about this; he's an expert displaying his creativity and mastery of kicking technique and body control. i especially love how he finishes his kicks and doesn't relegate his performance to a mere gymnastics exhibition. his 720 roundhouse looks especially painful as he looks like a little dynamo generating a ton of torque

I completely agree with this statement. You also need to remember that martial arts are not necessarily about fighting.

Extremely entertaining? I'd rather see a professional gymnast / martial artist preform at a party then a clown or comedian. Still would rather see a stripper overall but just putting examples out there.

He's obviously talking about modern day martial arts in 2009.
