no, not World of Warcraft. This video is awesome. It's not disgusting or illegal, but I highly recommend you practice for a couple years before you do this. Although the ending is funny.


cool martial arts

Holy-! What is this guy? A master ninja in his off hours?!
How can anybody do something like that?!
That seems humanly impossible. I wonder if he's Chinese. The Chinese seem to be able to perform very flexible moves. That guy was incredible. Dang, I couldn't do that in a thousand years. Never. I won't try it unless I suddenly have a death wish.

The music was blah, but the video was awesome! He does some pretty amazing and dangerous stuff there! Is he a stunt man or something?

That's pretty awesome! I did a back flip once but I had to be standing off a ledge. This guy must had too gymnastics or something. Kind of scary, I fear breaking my neck. Makes me wish I took up dangerous stunts as a hobby :)

Reminds me of the movie Ong-Bak...

actually, all the jumping off of buildings, etc. is called free-running it started in france, and it has to deal more with gymnastics, timing, and learning how to fall (properly, not many actually know how to) this started in france. and all the martial art stuff is called tricking. It's like break-dancing but it's also kinda like that one brazilian dance fighting thing.

I've tried practicing, but because of my excess weight (not a lot, but enough to say that I'm not in the best shape of my life) it's harder for me to do that really fast whirl thing, but the only thing I can't do is do a back/forward flip, I'm too afraid to break my neck!!!

Yeah, free-running.... That's what I was thinking, but I forgot the name.

I was about to say base jumping, but that's jumping of buildings with parachutes. :P


None the less, it's a good mix of a lot of skills.

That was a pretty impressive video. He could make a good batman like superhero, if he got some gadgets and a neat costume...

The first one seemed kind of reckless, they could have really gotten hurt badly if they made one slip-up, not a good idea.
The other one was pretty cool because the guys had a lot of balance and techniques. Both are good but the first link you posted is by far my favorite.

Those guys have flipping issues. And rolling issues. And just plain issues! That was pretty cool but I agree with Eriana about the getting hurt part.

Well the thing is, they dont start out doing that, they're professionaly trained (not that it is a profession) generally they practice in gymnastic places, then set pads to simulate the whole thing, plus there's no fun when there's no risk ;)

Wow... that is intense. The brief part where they were in a play made me really laugh. And can you imagine the mall security... 'You were doing what?'

Campus Crusades at my school produced a ski/snowboard stunt video last year as an evangelizing tool. We watched part of it... the accident part... serious ouch. And I agree, if you don't know what you are doing, or make even the smallest mistake, you could be in for serious pain, if not death.

But still. Cool. Thanks for sharing.

True but it was still a bit gutsy even if they are professionals. ^^
If they had made on simple mistake it could have killed them very easily, either that or had them in the Emergency Room for a while.
I don't think I would ever do something like that! ^^;;;
