That's cool...what does he do? Martial arts wise what does he practice?
Alright I just saw that video....hmmm....these guys are a bit of a joke...if anything they are more acrobats/gymnasts really, but in terms of martial arts they are a joke. How do I know? Don't ask :p |

Well, now that I think about it - I dunno, but he has always practised, ever since he was young - he has at least 5 black belts, all in different areas, I will find out more when i talk to him next, just to let you know... He would like me to probably ask more questions, but I am going to his final year party - where he will accept his belt and certificate of completion... woo hoo - he is paying for my tix to go with my datetot he ceremony~! which is nice.. There is this whole wall in my basement of the house i grew up in (in Aurora) that has all hs medals and pictures (of him kickin' ass) :) and certificates there too - you name it it's there! He was a big fighter when he was younger, I think I got that trait from him too! but he is a professional though! he's getting old though 58 I think..:sadgreen: he should stop- soon - he broke soooo many bones over the last year... and I worry for his safety,
GO DAD GO!
anyways - I will let you know what his belts are in at a later date - I am tired from working today
Ciao!

Hehehe that's very cool...but black belt is just the beginning reall they are 9 different "dans" in black belts, so 9 different levels of black belts which is why i was wondering what was he doing? :) That's pretty coo though congrads to your dad |

Looks like gymnastics more than martial arts.
I hear that traditional martial arts are not very useful for defending yourself on the street (this from cops, bouncers etc). It looks good in the dojo, but that's about it. |

Can you say that about aikido as well?
Or are you thinking of "defending yourself on the street from a gun, ak47, or anything else considered fire weapon"...? |

Anything is good in a streetfight situation if you're learning it properly rather than the "north american way - get your backbelt in 1 year" kinda deal...no offence to anyone of course but some of these ads that i see are pretty pathetic...
Jiujitsu is different though it's grappling :) very interesting
I'd agree with crazy serb, if there's an AK47 a few metres away then nothing will help |

anyway .. speakin of the video , it's okay , but i found the human matrix video a bit more impressive , has anyone ever seen that btw?
some of the moves these guys are pulling at "Flip City Gymnastics Center" as it says in the video are done by a lot of breakdancers in some videos i've seen at the World's in Germany i think 2 years ago ?
anyways, i think what they're doing is meant more for an entertainment value than anything else
