Tricking and Martial Arts (again)?

Question

Sorry, I guess when I asked my last question it wasn't really as accurate as it should've been. I listed some bad Martial Arts lol.

I guess what I meant to say was. What martial art would complement my flips, aerials, 540s, etc more?

Capoeira, Wushu, TKD, <Insert something>?

I don't want to be a stuntman or anything, just looking for fun. I already have self defense taught to me by my brother.I'm just looking for some good ideas of stuff that can give me a better start at tricking. I'm pretty new.

Answer 1

My answer from the previous question is still accurate. Capoeira and Performance Wushu are the best MAs to compliment tricking. Gymnastics + Capoeira is the best combination.

Answer 2

What do you mean by &#039;tricking&#039;?

What in the world is a &quot;540&quot;?

Answer 3

Capoeira would be best in my opinion :)***

Answer 4

Pretty much what you listed above are great to use, capoeira would be great for a break dancing like flow, wushu would really help with your gracefulness and jumping techniques, and taekwondo would really help your kicks and spinning moves.

Answer 5

WUshu. Capoiera, and TKD to a lesser extent would all be good bases, but understand. In no way shape or form tricking a Martial Art. You would winde up seriously hurt if you tried to us eit for self defense.

I would get your parents permission before starting Parkour. It was a pretty cool clip that Tao has there nad very fun to watch, but here is one that shows the other side. I say get your parents permission so they know they are probably going to have some medical bills in the near future.

To me it&#039;s not worth winding up acripple the rest of my life or worse just to show off.

Answer 6

Definitely Capoeira and Wushu as far as martial arts.

Another sport you may enjoy is parkour - it&#039;s basically doing tricks, flips. leaps, etc. off everyday items.  It&#039;s called &quot;free-running&quot; too, but don&#039;t look at it as running.  It&#039;s phenomenally difficult and really fun to do/watch.   Link to video below.

Answer 7

Have you heard of &quot;Parkour&quot;?  It&#039;s not a martial art but the tricks are out of this world.  If you&#039;re seen the opening sequence of the new &quot;Casino Royale&quot; where Bond chases that guy down...that&#039;s it.
