Now HERE'S a guy I respect

I don't know if this is gymnastics or martial arts, but whatever it is, very impressive. This is one guy I wouldn't want to fight... not quite your typical hi-YA bullshit...

Apparently its called 'Tricking'. I respect anyone who has dedicated themselves to perfecting an art like this guy, but this isnt fighting.

That being said it is very impressive. Imagine being in the ring with this guy, I wouldnt know what to do with him spinning and flying towards me!

I do. I'd wait til he landed and was about to launch another one of his retarded trick kicks. At which point I would drag him to the mat and give him he most vicous GNP beating this side of Fedor.

and the survey says......Hell no! Bob.....it has "trick" in the name...just about says it all...

That's the main difference between "sport" and "martial art" right there. I wouldn't be surprised if the guy could put a hurting on you, though - incredible athleticism. But what we see there is the flashy end - looks good, but gets your ass whipped if you try it in a fight.

Now if a good fighter pulls one of those tricks after winning a big fight, it would top Nas's flip. It's flashy, what's not to like?

No doubt about it! I'm waaay past my prime ;D

fuck me, that cunt must spend more time being dizzy than not

the athletisism is impressive but I used to beat guys like this all the time. being affective is more about timing, countering, and watching your opponent for mistakes rather than focusing on just throwing some crazy kick. A real fighter would be watching him spin in the air and planning a knockout. O0
