The Ultimate Newb Introduction Care Package

Basic Newb Information

Well, welcome to the world of tricking! What is tricking? Tricking is (as put by our very own Juji)”An Aesthetic blend of flips, kicks, and twists.” If you’re wondering what he means by this, go here: http://trickstutorials.com/index.php...content/vid_05 and download a few of the samplers and such. Now, I would think that watching Juji trick in Thousand or Black Jujitoine should get you hyped enough to start. But there is a small problem. Those tricks hes doing? They take awhile to master. Most of them for most people, anyway. Don’t just go outside and expect to be able to replicate the tricks hes doing first try. It will probably take months, if not years, to get the six basic tricks. In fact, I myself would think a realistic window for mastering those six basics would be….about one and a half years. That’s my personal opinion, mind you. It could take longer or shorter, depending on the person. But what I’m getting at, is tricking isn’t simple. But the reward for all your hardwork is tremendous, in my opinion. Now, moving on to basic tricks!
Basic Tricks? Didn’t you just say these could take years to master?
Well. They can take years, but I’m not talking about three or more. In fact, some will come soon, such as the 360 Crescent and Backflip (if you can get over your fear quickly and know the technique). Others, such as the doubeleg and butterfly twist, may take a bit longer to master do to their technical nature. So, say, 1.5-2 years, I guess. But what are the six basics? They are as follows:

540 Kick-
Doubleleg-
Aerial-
Butterfly Twist-http://youtube.com/watch?v=dCJWRGPaSL8 (By Taegashi, Jujis is linked at bottom.)
360 Crescent-http://youtube.com/watch?v=yH3ZghL49KA
Backflip-http://youtube.com/watch?v=xns_1_9Mia4

As you can see, I’ve linked to the tutorial next to each moves name. Many people will say a tutorial isn’t needed for the 360 crescent, which is true, but I still linked to Taegashis old 360 Crescent tut just so you can watch the technique. And, just for the record, those six moves can be looked at as the “core” moves, not the most basic moves. They do have prerequisites for you to work on first, you know =D

540 Kick-Prerequisite: Tornado kick
Doubleleg-Prerequisite: 360 Crescent (I linked to TKD_Andy’s tut for the Doubleleg at the bottom of the page so you can see why some may consider it a prerequisite)
Aerial-Prerequisite: Cartwheel, One Handed Cartwheel.
Butterfly Twist-Prerequisite: Butterfly Kick.
360 Crescent-If anything, do a 360 Crescent without the jump, but that still has a slightly different technique I think.
Backflip-Prerequisite: None. If you really, really, want to, you could learn the back handspring, which doesn’t resemble the backflip in anyway at all, other then you’re going backwards. In fact, I’ve read that the BHS interferes with your learning of the Backflip. But if you just don’t want to listen to me, then go ahead and learn it.

If you happen to be wondering why those moves are the six basics, I’ll list a few of the moves they lead on too as compared to other tricks.

Aerial-Aerial Twist, Aerial Switch, Axe2Aerial, Brandy, Reverse Aerial
Doubleleg-Doubleleg full, Crescent Singleleg,
Backflip-Flash Kick, X-Out, Gainer, Reverse Gainer, Back Fulltwist, Back Layout, and a shitload of other gainer moves.
360 Crescent-540 Crescent, Feilong Kick, Crescent 540, Cheat 900, 1080 Hook, 360 Gyro, 720, 540 Triple
Butterfly Twist-Hypertwist, Hyperswipe, Double B-Twist, Cheat 720 Twist
540 Kick-Sideswipe, Jacknife, Snapuswipe, 540 Double leg (ßIt’s a Parafuso variation. From what I’ve heard, there are two versions of the parafuso: One is simply a 540, and one you land on both legs. The latter is noted here.)

Now, what other tricks lead on to:
Wallflip-Various wall flip with more steps (I.e, 2,3 and 4 step wall flip.)
Corkscrew-Hyper Cork, Double Cork, Boxcutter

See how many more tricks the first six give you? And in no way are those the only variations of each move, they are just a few that I could name off the top of my head.

And theres some tricks that are just odd in their own respect. In fact, most tricks you can name somehow relate to the six basics, even the obscure ones like a Split Scissor Flash, or a Quad Full. Nowhere in the names of these moves is “backflip”, or even the letter “B”, but they both are just advanced variations of the backflip.

I know you’re probably thinking, “Its going to take me a year and a half to get these? Shit, that sounds boring.” Well, remember those tricks I said don’t lead on to much? Learn them for motivation. Heres a list of “motivational” tricks:

Kip-Up
Au Batido
Wallflip
Front/Back Handspring

You know, things like that. Motivational tricks for the more advanced trickster include stuff like the cork, double b-twist, Back Full, etc. etc.

Now you may be wondering, “Backflip? Can’t I break my neck or something?” Truth is, yes, you can. Possibility is less than one in a million, if not more. The only people who break their necks on backflips are people who simply don’t know the technique, or do half of the trick and give up. Even if you land on your head, you probably won’t break your neck. That’s why this site is here, so you know how to do a move before you go out and hurt yourself. But yes, tricking can be dangerous, especially for those below the age of 17. We (I’m under 17 too) can hurt our knees more easily then those above the age of 17...heres a link to Jujis article, he explains it nicely: http://trickstutorials.com/index.php?page=content/4injs See how the broken neck isn’t one of the most common tricking injuries? So don’t be too afraid of breaking your neck, okay guys?
Well, I’m almost done with this, but I just have a few more things to say. Remember to study peoples technique and see what the do for flash and what they actually need to complete the move. Hell, pause the video, rip the frame and print out a picture. Then label different parts of the tricksters body with “essential” and “Not Essential” if you really want. Remember to train only if you want to. I know from experience, if you force yourself to train, chances are you’re not going to learn as fast as if you actually WANT to train and WANT to learn the move.

Thanks for the compliments, and yes, thanks for the title haha. Well, I'm off to bed now, crits and comments appreciated. I will be editing this in the near future with nutrition and flexibilty and stuff, so check back every now and then.

Ummm....that isn't at all what it claims to be. It addresses very few questions, provides poor descriptions, and ultimately seems to be going for length more than substance. Sorry peleke. I like the idea, though.

DILOS · Feb-26-06, 04:21 AM

is it just me or does it say cock instead of cork lol

Meh. Okay, this was the first thing I ever wrote up, so I see. Yeah, I guess I'll work on it. If you don't mind helping out, I'd like you to PM me some of the things you would like for me (or whoever writes it, seeins as I suck at this anyway) to include, seeing as you do support the idea. But thanks for the constructice crit and not a flame haha.
