What is Tricking?
Martial arts tricking is a mix of flips, kicks, spins and other weird movements that can´t really be categorized. You´ve probably seen it in movies as well as on Instagram or TikTok. It stems from various martial arts and includes moves from gymnastics, freerunning, capoeira, breakdancing and even has a wide range of movements original to tricking.
The goal is to create something cool to look at, something that seems to break the laws of physics or just something that feels nice to do.
It´s a relatively new and unknown sport but the tricking community reaches all over the world and is full of amazing and extremely supportive people.
If you want to learn how to trick you can probably find a small tricking community in your area who will be eager to help. I will be publishing a video on how to get started as well as tutorials on certain tricks on this YouTube channel so subscribe if you´re interested in the topic :)
