Old DragonBall Z parody

When I was young I was obsessed with DBZ.  It was probably the most frustration series to watch because one fight would last what seemed like 10 episodes.  In these 10 episodes there was 98% talking and facial reactions from characters.  Even though it was excruciating to sit through nonetheless I craved to know what happened since I invested so much time waiting and watching.

This DBZ parody is from the youtube channel WeeklyTubeShow2 ... There are some gems in there from DBZ and some other animes like Fist of the North Star where they dub the voices over.


What old cartoons did you watch as a kid?

Trick of the Week: JackKnife - Steve Terada

A Jackknife is a Martial Arts kick trick that involves executing a 540 kick followed by a spinning hook kick with the opposite leg before landing.

Jackknife is one of my favorite tricks.  It's a great balance of kick technique and difficulty.  I see a lot of trickers now a days using this to demonstrate that they can kick trick in addition to their acrobatic power moves in their trick vocabulary.

Tricking History (from my experience):  

One of the first martial artists I saw execute a jackknife was one of my old coaches, David Douglas.  He call it a 540 hook kick.  Back in the mid 90's there weren't forums or message boards so tricks would come out slowly to the public. You had to be in the sport karate tournament scene to stay up to date with the lingo.  In 2000 through message boards like Bilang.com trickers started calling it a Jackknife.

Circa 1997 - As you can see David was very pro hook kick.

One of the main reasons why I focused years on training and analyzing them.
