Still, I'd hate to get on the wrong side of that guy...
JESUS..... ![]()
I once started doing Tae Kwon Do!! LOL..... I remember playing Tekken 3 with a mate, and it just looked cool, so I wanted to try this![]()
But I have never in my life seen anything like thisO_O...
Insane... Truly amazing...(Except for the screaming)![]()
The screaming stimulates a nerve that gets your adrenaline gland pumping. Rather important for getting all the way around back to your feet.
It really is amazing how there are combat disciplines in RL that are so complex, and when pitted against one another make any video game seem pitiful. To see a real swordsman do a demo, or if you have seen the videos of 8 year old kids whiping a stave so fast you cant see it is jaw dropping. I personally have my first degree black belt in Shaolin Kenpo, but haven't set foot back in a dojo for over 10 years, but if i were to do any serous display or sport combat art it would be capoeira. Those crazy brazillians, i tell ya. The constant movement while in combat buildstheir endurance and stamina to incredible levels, allowing them to win simply because they can out last most opponents. Mixing Capoeira with Judo, and youve got a lightfooted dodge artist who knows how to toss 350 lb guys like ragdolls.
The biggest problem with arial kicks such as the ones displayed by the young man in the video is that they leave you incredibly vulnerable, even though its for short periods of time. Any time you have 1 or no legs at all on the ground you are asking to become someones shotput. Especially for someone of that size. If any have ever been in the marines, or any elite military combat unit that courses in hand to hand combat, the major rule is never kick. Too many things can go wrong the moment you take one foot off the ground.

Real-life stackers... lol
Perhaps the older form of the art, the original form brought to the Americas by the founder, Gen. Choi Hong Hee...
I still would not like to get on the bad side of that guy...I doubt if I could even match his speed, much less, his balance and fitness...
