Mixing dancing with martial arts. Capoeira keeps a fascinating arts form that requires loads of skills. The fact that you do it on music makes it even better. Really the origin of break dancing and battles if you ask me!

Jean Frenette - The Old Days

Monday, November 27th, 2006

One of the first times I saw some martial arts on TV I saw this Canadian guy on eurosport during some budo show. At the time I was highly impressed with the skills he got, especially the flexibility this guy possesses. Now, so many years later, it’s still nice to see what he did in those times and that these kind of kata’s have evolved so much. I really think he was probably the first who did something like this. I did some research on him and he’s now into stunt coordination and his list of work his really long. The demonstration he gives keeps great to watch.

Steve Terada - Martial Arts

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

The next videoclip is about famous martial artist Steve Terada. Steve can make some pretty impressive jumps, kicks, backflips, etc. I doubt that this kind of martial arts is any doubtfull in real life but it’s definitly pleasing to the eye. Especially the extreme speed he does it in is amazing! You probably saw him already in the trickers collection from monday.
