Scoop 0 #1 April 7, 2006 You guys gotta see this! I agree with the poster the flip at the end is the best, that gut runs at least 15 feet up the wall before backflipping off it! http://www.realboring.com/ninja-training/ Think these guys might be good at BASE arials?

AggieDave 6 #4 April 7, 2006 A lot of the kicks and motion looks based on capoeira, but stylized. Over the past few years there has been a trend building capoeira into a full on modern gymnastics and modern dance based martial arts. If you know how capoeira got started and what its about, it kind of makes since. I've seen a few videos of stuff like this over the past few years and I do have to say, it is impressive. I've trained in Martial arts for 13 years and I can't do a backflip.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

eeneR 3 #6 April 7, 2006 That is way cool. I am sure however it helps they are on a spring loaded gymnastics floor. The spring you get out of those floors is freaking amazing! I loved working on them. Spent most of my early gymnastics on just mats. First time I was on one i freaked out at the rebound!She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagicGuy 0 #8 April 7, 2006 I can do most of that shit, accept for doing the flips that involve spins. When I was a kid, I was a huge fan of the Ninja Turtles, 3 Ninjas and loved watching gymnasts flipping all over the place. When I was 8, my brother and I put our money together and bought one of those little aerobic trampolines. We took a mattress, put it in the front yard, and put the trampoline in front of it. By the end of the day we were doing front-flips. A day or so later, we were doing back handsprings, and later full on backflips. We had this thing that we called "The Climber". It was like.. a heavy duty plastic tower type of thing that you could climb and play inside. We would put it on it's side, stand on the edge and do backflips off of it. We would do backflips off of picnic tables, our deck, trees, cars.. pretty much anything we could find lol. We were crazy bastards.. when we moved, we had a 20ft deck that we would climb on the outside and jump off of. We were like 10 years old. Good times.. all the kids in gym class would be begging me to do flips. I had to do them when the gym teachers weren't looking because they would get pissed, thinking I would kill myself and sue the school lol. I'm 20 now and I can still do all of that shit. My uncle always told me "When you get older you aren't going to be able to do it". I love being able to prove him wrong. Oh by the way.. doing a backflip off of a wall is actually pretty simple, but fucking SCARY. I have a video of myself doing it somewhere.. if I can find it I'll post a link.

ntacfreefly 0 #10 April 7, 2006 Mindblowing. They'll be in Atlanta soon - of course that's the same damn weekend I'll be out of town. Otherwise I'd have gone to watch them. Oh well - impressive though....most impressive.
