Martial Arts Techniques

I've been trying to throw some martial arts techniques and such into my spinning and i've wondered, has anybody else tried, and suceeded?

i've been throwing in mostley arial moves like flash kicks, Zempo kitans, Shigaries, split 540's, tornado kicks and other more advanced moves

i'm trying to my get requirements to teach martial arts and am planning on (hopefully) making a combination martial art of my own

looks around HOP for Santanatwo!

wowie! u sure is advanced!
any tips on how to make a crane?
i get paper cuts.

I've heard of people full-on break dancing while spinning but never martial arts.

More power to you if you can.

bender,

I can make fortune tellers, thats about it.

Raph

Santana's def. got some skills with the martial arts as far as using nunchaku and throwing a good kick in here and there... also a lot of capoeira style stepping during his routines, which goes well with poi (see CoL 3). He's been a little lax lately posting on the boards... think he's on vacation for the holidays... so yeah I'll share what I know since we work together and stuff.

Kicks generally make for good wraps and under-the-leg techniques, especially like throwing a poi under a leg while turning (looks good with a real high crescent kick).

What we're looking for right now is a good way to throw a butterfly kick or an aerial in with a poi routine... anyone got any help on first doing these moves and second incorporating them into poi? I'm about to drive 60mi just to go into a wushu hall to pick up the butterfly kick myself...

Oh yeah and I can him fightin any day (hehe sorry santanatwo, had to say it)

I think Dio is still pissed cause I made reference to my "young padawan learner" and he automaticaly assumed I was taking about him (Ok, so I was! what cha gona do? huh? I'll slap you so hard it'll knock your cloths backwards like Criss-Cross)

so take that And that And a little more of this you want some more? I can dish it out all day long!

seriousely though, i just started using a lot of capoeira steps during my routines, and none of them show up on col#3 (because I had to use a tripod, and capoeira steps involve moving around alot). I do use a lot of kicks with my staff twirling on COL#3. (spin kicks mostly, but some side kicks and front kicks too.) And my favorites are jump spin (especialy the jump spin double side kick, performed from a weave (with poi) or with a staff (easiest)

basically, almost any kick can be done while spinning, it is mostly a matter of placement and timing to not get the kick in the way of the spining.

And yes, I do put a lot of wraping together with kicks, basically any kick can be wraped on. you can recoil the wraps, or turn as they wrap to unwind them.

There may just be some more jiggy stuff on COL4, wait and see.

Tigur, man, I don't have any idea what most of those moves you just listed are!?!?!

I'd use marital arts, only i've no plates left to break.

aw man that wasn't even close to funny..
/goes back to drawing board

That's "wraPPing" my friend... two P's.

Wouldn't want ppl thinking you're a wrapist now would we?

WOW, Tigur man if you are seriouse about being able to do all that stuff, then (in my humble opinion) you are THE man! I can only dream of beng able to do that stuff. I can't do a flip (on land) to save my life. The best i can do are one handed things forwards and sideways and a two handed back hand spring that I don't do anymore because I don't feel comfortable with it. This basicaly limmits me to using staff for my tricks that involve turning my body upside down.

Dio,
That's whay I'm the "wrap Master Funk" and not the "typewriter master funk" or the "spelling bee master funk" or the "dictionary master funk"



see you tonight @ practice man
