New Stuff

[Kyukodo Gaz]

Well, I've done a big site re-work and there are some new tutorials up that I haven't posted here yet. There is also a brand new 'Forms' section with general advice on how to start experimenting with freestyle forms.

Tuts are as follows...

Matt Depietropolo - Cheat 900 (http://kyukodo.com/Videos/Open%20hand/cheat900tut.mpg)

Chloe Bruce - Scorpion Kick (http://kyukodo.com/Videos/Open%20hand/scorpiontut.mpg) (awesome, I challenge anyone to actually do it on here!)

Grace Bruce - Windmills (http://kyukodo.com/Videos/Open%20hand/windmilltut.mpg)

Sam Newell - Sideswipe (http://kyukodo.com/Videos/Open%20hand/sideswipe.mpg)

Hans Wikkeling - Illusion Twist (http://kyukodo.com/Videos/Open%20hand/illusiontwisthans.mpg)

Dan Perez De Tejada - Jacknife (http://kyukodo.com/Videos/Open%20hand/jacknifetut.mpg) (provided by ambitrixterous himself, check out aeriformat.com, it's vastly underrated!)

Enjoy.

Just checked out the site. Updates look awesome! :good:

If you get a chance, could you try to upload TKD Andy's cartwheel/masterswipe front video?

Alright... lemme get to work.

[TKD Tim]

I can almost do it. Just gotta work on my oversplits a little more...I can kick it vertically. Will include it in my first sampler, soon after I land double btwists and snapuswipes. (Aka 2009)


EDIT: After watching it, it's completely different than I originally though! I figured you had to lift your leg backwards, and all the way over your head. I didn't realize it was actually a side lift! That's interesting...

I love the forms section man! This willl really help me with my forms thanks!

[Alexx]

:agony: andys cart front tutorial still isn't up :( i can't believe no one wants to help gaz out and reupload it !!

[Skilzat85X]

I'd hate to say it, but Grace's windmill explanations are terrible! Ahhh!
More than that, you'd think with all her flexibility that'd she'd be able to keep her legs relatively straight and do them much faster.

It looks like I'm going to have to finish my windmill narration sooner than I would hope. Yay!

But heck, she's trying to help. So she (and all the other people) get's an A for effort and the volunteer spirit.

Someone please send me the cart front tut so I can get it up!

I can't windmill. Looking forward to it :smile:

[TKD_Andy]

haha ill get someone i sent it to via MSN to upload it, my net at home (shrewsbury) is shit city :sad: it took three hours to upload a 4 mb vid last night!

[Kyukodo Gaz]

Now that is shit! thanx Andy. Mucho appreciated. I'll get it up straight away this time!

[Inkrepid]

Whoa, what gathering was hans at. And for the love of god alpha, are you at every single gathering ever?

[Trel]

[TartanPajamas]

Most people around here don't do "XMA" just so you know.

Lost in translation...

[Kyukodo Gaz]

Guys it doesn't matter. 'XMA' is different from extreme martial arts. XMA = corporate money making venture. Extreme martial arts = pushing the boundaries of evrything martial.

There is a huge difference. Don't get us mixed up :smile:

Thanks for the comments on the site. We try.
