    Wow, I love how everyone keeps reaffirming the fact that this is impractical in combat. Nice job, sleuths. I was wondering why I've never seen anyone do backflips during a street fight.

    Get over yourselves.

    • This is just a show

      you're all taking it too seriously, its not like they're gonna go out & kick someones ass doing all this stuff right? BUT, its much prettier to watch than a dirty street fight. I'm sure they still know proper self defense too but this stuff is obviously just for demonstration, to show their flexibility n stuff. But, all that said, IMO i think tall white/black men/women look silly doing martial arts, leave it to the experts, Asians, lol

    • Dude this is performance

      Dude this is a show, its not a streetfight, besides if you were up against any one of them you wouldnt even have time to see any flips. You think they can only do the flips? You open your eyes, they all have black belts, you even know what that means? Retard

    • DO YOU??

      IM A MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTOR of 20 years, and I tell you this in all seriousness, this video is a disgrace to martial arts.
      Its typical of all of modern society, trying to make things flashy and entertaining. this is gymnastics, though the occasional punch thrown in might fool u armchair experts. in simple terms..ITS BULLSHIT. REAL MARTIAL ARTS IS NOT THIS S**t

      you're an idiot, lol. This is martial arts, note the end part of that - "art". It is an art form.
      And along with being an art, it is also self defence. I do stuff like this, and believe me when i say that isnt all we do. Yes, this is a part of it, but there are many other aeras of development and fighting, self defence etc that goes on. lol, you just wish you could do what these guys do, because you will never be able to. So stop putting down talented people like this, this is the future of martial arts.

      right of the back I can tell that you are just trying to drag attention to yourself!!! why? well if you really were a "20 year martial arts instructor"
      A: you would have been able to specify what art
      B:you would know what martial arts really are!!!

      I my self am a taekwondo blue belt and I HAVE been able to use two of the kicks shown here! yes in a street fight!!!

      Flashy yes, athletic yes, even acrobatic. BUT impractical. You are fortunate that you have only tried this in street fights, against inexperienced or drunk opponents. My art, Judo, has parables and warnings against training people who pick fights. Rest assured you will meet your match. Poetic justice is a beautiful thing!

    • belt ? just to hold your trousers

      I can buy a black belt and put it for a show ... And I know white belts who kicks black belt's asses. I am one of those cross-trained adept, I never got a black belt. Just pay, pratice some years, and you'll get it. I fought a guy from this kind of "acrobatic discipline" in some friendly bouts. Ok, he is fast with his feets, as fast as me with my fists, but I protect, close the distance, clinch, bring the fight to the ground after some knees and it's done. These guys are good athletes, but don't think they are masters from another planet ...

    • Black belts..

      These days it doesnt matter weather you a black belt or not, as many intructors will practiacally give away belts with a very easy grading. However, luckily there are still some instructors out there who arent afraid to fail students, and usually better black belts are found in these schools.

      OH and those guys in the vid have some serious SKILL!!

  • I should also point out...

    In the few serious fights I have been in (only a dozen, and only one aginst more than 2 people at a time) all I had to do was a 7 foot shuffle-kick to the stomache or solarplexes and a punch or two and I either hurt them too bad or knocked the wind out of them too hard for them to continue to fight.

    I have also won a few (non?-)fights by simply looking fierce enough and committed enough to let them know I don't care how badly I will hurt them.

    I'll admit I've only fought two people who had any _serious_ martial arts training. The one opponent I had the hardest time with was well trained, and hit me in the face with a (very fast) flying reverse roundhouse kick. Something I simply never expected someone to use in a serious fight. He saw an opening and made use of it.

    That being said, you must consider the skill of your opponent, whether you are familiar with their style (if they are of any particular fighting school) and habits while fighting, and when you might have the opportunity to strike at an opening. I can't tell you how often an opponents opening required some focused, but weird-assed ugly attack.

    What matters is being able to take that opening due to good discipline and training, good flexibility and acrobatic ability (in case you aren't allowed the convenience of having your feet on the ground or even being right side up), and the endurance to fight at full strength until you've won.

  • Please, learn something, talk to your tr...

    Most of you armchair masters would be panting on the ground after only a minute trying to even hit one of these guys (assuming you weren't cradling a broken limb in the first 30 seconds), and these guys wouldn't have even broken a sweat. Only Gymnastics (and some forms of Gong Fu) have the training regimen to help someone accomplish this level of fitness.

    Bruce Lee said that if skills are evenly matched it falls to endurance to determine the victor. He recommended that anyone persuing the martial arts be able to fight full out for 5 minutes straight. It only makes sense that they would follow such training and work on these skills in order to develop the power and endurance required by such a path.

  • Well

    It does look nice but wouldn't stand a chance in a tournament up against lets say Isshinryu. I have taken it for 12 years and it is one of the most fierce styles there is. Google it if you doubt me. Tutsuo Shimabuku invented the style.

  • you are all idiots

    they wouldnt do that in a real fight, they would probably just side kick you in the face. i do martial arts and the truth is that about 70% of martial artists lose street fights becuase martial artists are used to rules and in street fights there are none. Oh and to that insructor of 20yrs you and idiot this is martial arts they incorporate there big jumps into amazing kicks, Its an ART FORM which means they have individuality you obviously have no clue what your talking about like a tornado kick in tae kwon do is just a jump 360 round kick it is an actual move. the people in the video just variate basic kicks and punches which is what art is its a variation of one thing to make it you own

  • UFC? ROFLMAO

    sum guy was saying ufc is the best fighters, traditional martial arts are better, if you study them for a LONG time.
    i bet u people that watch ufc think, hmm, if i was fighting, i would has done <tecnique> and dropped that guy, but they reason real martial arts are better is because if u watch 2 master martial artists fight, u wont think, i would have done sumthing different, and you know why? because traditional martial art masters dont have flaws like those shiity ufc fighters (e.g. matt hugues), those ufc idiots train in crappy rip offs of martial arts like brazilian jujitsu for a year, and then do boxing, and other than that, they rely on pure strength, and a true fighter knows that no amount of strength can win a fight alone

  • your all idiots

    every1 who says these people would be wasted in a real fight is an idiot, just because they can do this stuff doesnt mean they try to use it, most martial arts are about 30% body 70% mind, so to increase in level, you need mental strength, and getting over the fear of trying this kind of stuff and gaining the tequnique to use it is proof to a master that you have earned a new rank, ive been in taekwondo for quite a while, and i go to a very well known school called tiger taekwondo(not they piece of crap USA tigertaekwondo though)and when i have been to the black belt ranking tests, and alot of the breaks are similar to these kicks and incredibly hard to do, but once it comes to the sparring tests, they do NOT use these techniques, some day if you people get the chance to see a real 1st dan ranking test and watch the sparring part, u will see why martial artists can win a fight, i guarantee you will be impressed

    but i cant be mad at your opinion, i was, and am a full contact martial artist and i always hated it when ppl were staring amazed at tricksters, they were telling me "what martial arts do U know, show us something!" ... so just for the hell of it i started training this stuff too, first the 540, then the 720, then the crecent, then the aerial..etc does that mean i cant fight anymore?

  • So much anger

    This is an entertainment show. Why is everyone so angry? These guys practice their asses off and everyone scruitinises.

    This clip is a show of skill... not the ability to knock someone out. You want that... they will do full contact sparring.

    Any kick thrown would knock a man out. Weak kicks? They kick twice as hard as anyone. It is easy to get a K.O. Just one rightly placed shot... and the opponent is down.

    The reason why streetfights last so long is that noone is connected squarely or cleanly. Just random punches.

    The fact of the matter is: these guys know how to fight and defend themselves. However.. this is just a show to display their acrobatic skills.

    You want people who would actually win a fight? Watch "Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)"

    This tournament has proven what would and wouldn't work in a fight.

    only one thing... most of these tricks, are just that, tricks!
    they are not meant for fighting, or should atleast not be used when fighting a serious martial artist...

    reason:
    golden rule of most of the REALYL powerful martiial arts: stay in balance! and when you are in the air, the only balance you got is from your rotation. i think a good fighter would get these guys in a n instant if they attacked him/her....

    Stick your hand out and grab his feet, he'll fall, or atleast land very unbalanced, and your have your opening...

In reality most of the moves that they are using wont be used in a simple fight, that is not to say, however, that these people are in any way incapable of defending themselves, in fact they seem extrordinarily well trained.

  • When was the last time a ninja won the w...

    Some of it is crisp enough, but most of the acrobatics are totally redundant in a real fight. Check out some good old fashioned Muay Thai, Vale Tudo, or cage fighting, put your money on your man (acrobat, or cage fighter), then pit them against each other. Don't forget that there are virually no rules in the latter 2, "Vale Tudo" = "anything goes" - you can use karate, kung fu, ninjutsu, boxing, sumo, wrestling, whatever you like. I have yet to see a ninja (wu-shu, or any oher acrobatic martial art) win.

    As ElJefe3030 points out, when was the last time anyone saw any such flurries used in the ring, at world championship level? Doesn't the fact that the best fighters in the world tend to stay firmly rooted to the ground indicate anything?

    I've been fighting for over 20 years and I have never seen anyone dare even try to use any such acrobatics in the ring. This stuff is better confined to the screen - skillful, but ultimately superfluous.

    That said, I did find Ong Bak quite entertaining - Muay Thai is far more beautiful than Gung Fu, if you ask me...

    • Hey, its almost all show. Dumb technique...

      Best move against these acrobatic spins and stuff, is to move in quick and push them hard or catch their clothing and tug, maybe even help em spin quicker in the same direction. This can be practiced. They will lose control and maybe break something, maybe even their neck. I don't have to repeat myself.

    • Although it looks flashy and powerful

      In reality it's not. It's kinda like when people start using Soul Calibur moves, it looks flashy, however a simple attack will stop it. I've delt with this before and the easiest way to deflect all these attacks is a simple side kick aimed towards the chest, when the person jumps for the attack, while they are in the air they are completely defensless, it takes more time to attack in that form then in the ground, by doing so a highward kick would send them flying, no these moves wouldn't be used in a fight, however they show atheltic ability.

    • what makes a good fighter ?

      According to you it is to be able to fly high ? And what about the timing sense ? the good eye to capitalize on opening ? the chin ? the agressiveness to go for the victory ? the resistance to the pain ? the spirit to carry on despite damage ?

      These guys deserves a lot of respect, but don't mix martial arts, fight sports, and gymnastic. This is gymnastic ! You cannot say they are good fighters just with what is shown here. Maybe they are, it is not the prob. The prob is : you are dreaming, we don't live in DBZ's world.

    • Yea, RIGHT!?!

      The way I've always done in competion against this worthless suff is stick a front snap kick in their chest! Also, most of these idiots stand with one foot on the ground and the other foot out in front of them. This is when a sweep is perfect. They usually land face 1st and crack their heads open. However, I did get caught with one of these kicks @Nationals in 94 by a guy that was 6'10" and about 265 lbs (I'm 6' and 225lbs). It felt like a hard slap. He didn't even get a warning (black belts are supposed to show control)!! So, while loosing my temper, I waited for him to jump again. When he hit the ground I tried to put my fist through his face. Needless to say I got DQ'ed and he got a broken eye socket, broken nose, displaced jaw?, and 2 cracked teeth! Now, if you want to talk about some powerfull kicks try FRONT SNAP KICK, SIDE THRUST KICK or SPINNING BACK KICK. These are usually good for breaking bones and/or killing someone!

      Has everyone forgotten the art of Ju Jitsu. Chock's, strangles, breaks, locks, throws, counters, breakfalls, striking areas, knees elbows, ground fighting, pressure points and weaponry use and defence thereof. This must be the most complete form of a martial art around. Brazilian Ju Jitsu is simply a take off and involves locks and ground fighting. Tell me, in the cage, where are the opponents mates to punch and kick you while you stuff around for 5 mins trying to get a lock on. Also why punch wood? I have never yet had to fight a peice of wood.

      How can you compare martial arts to a gun. Do you think that we dont know which one is more effective. Why cant you just say very cool, but you have to shoot it down with a stupid comment.

      By the way. A 9mm is not very effective when the time comes... especially when somebody with a sniper is shooting you from the top of a 50 floor buliding.

    • Guns?

      Guns? Even Bruce Lee was afraid of someone with a gun. All you have to do is pull a trigger, no skill or training required. Not that someone with a gun is gauranteed to hit their opponent.

      And sure, you can maybe shoot me with your 9mm, but then what do you do about the squad cars full of police, maybe SWAT that come after you?

      As far as MA vs. Gun, it depends on each persons skill and how close someone is to the gunman. Every "expert" I've heard says to just give them what they want and watch them leave.

      And no matter of skill will help you if you aren't ready at every second of your life. Look at all the famous criminals, they let their guard down once and someone pops'em dead. I'd rather me alive and a nobody, thanks.
