@caroto It was custom made for me by TCF Music. The song is called "Jacob's Revelation" - it's the main song featured in my upcoming documentary, "It's Called Tricking".

[@tricknickmedia]

I love the fact that all of them are martial artists. Not hating on just trickers.

[@adam1780]

Great video, I've watched and been involved with the evolution of sport MA in my own very small way. I remember watching Cynthia Rothrock and Jean Frenette from the eighties, then I competed on the NASKA circuit in the late nineties and we did back tucks, 540's, aerials, occasional butterfly twists, 720's and I've been watching it just get more and more exciting since then. I really looked up to Mike Chat and Jon Valera at the time. Now it's crazy, really impressive, I know it catches a lot of flack from traditionalists but I still love watching it...A bunch of really impressive athletes!!

[@Nikaian]

check out Mike guthrie, Tommy tiegs, Vellu, Bailey payne, Tim farley, Matt emig, Phill Gibs, Ilya, Kite, Nick vail, etc tricking Is awesome

[@patcatanyag]

very nicely done. :) tricking has evolved SO much over the past 20 years. cool to actually have it showcased in this way.

[@andydurnford]

this was awesome, however what would have really topped it off for me would be the inclusion of trickers outside of forms or just some more complicated combo's towards the end years.

[@HaoPK]

Holy fucking shit that Matt Emig form was insane.

[@bubbacope16]

I talked to Mike Chat last June....and I'm suppose to see him next week....So Coooool.!!!!!

[@jefferlew]

This is one of the most amazing inspirational videos I have ever seen for tricking period! Great Edit! A++++++++++

[@SithV1]

Great video. Although I don't do any XMA, only traditional Martial Arts, I have always have respect for these competitors that bring a level of energy to the competition floor. I have judged creative forms for young up and coming competitors, and I have always enjoy watching creative forms.

[@flippinthescript]

@M16Entertainment I didn't have any videos of Chris DeVera forms from that era, only samplers, and I tried to stick with competition (sport martial arts) videos. But you're right - Chris DeVera is a hero of mine.

[@flippinthescript]

@MikeMaguireNY "This is more like the history of sport karate." Yes, I know. That's why I titled the video "A History of Sport Martial Arts", not "The History of Tricking". The purpose of the video was to illustrate how kicks in competition evolved over the years, the subtitle "the rise of trick" illustrates the consequence of this evolution, the beginning of a new sport. At least for the first 12-13 years, these guys were responsible for the inception of tricking. ... to be continued...

[@999taira]

@flippinthescript Ur right but tricking is not that much related to martial arts anymore. Many of my tricking friends cant do a simple roundkick while doing dbl fulls and corks in advanced combinations. And i forgot to say that i realy like Ur video. ;)

[@powertubemoves]

awesome video! is such a shame coz now tricking is all about cork! those guys from the past respect to them!!

[@ElijaDoLittle]

I was looking forward to an hour of this kinda stuff, to know where tricking came from and what it's all about, in the "It's Called Tricking" documentary; but I saw/heard more ridicule and arrogance than I could enjoy for that long. There were people in the trailer I was looking forward to hearing from, but they weren't even in it. I paid like £10 or so for it as well, when it's now free; making me feel like an absolute fool. Apart from that upset, this vid is beast! More of this please!

[@flippinthescript]

@MikeMaguireNY I'm fully aware of the history of tricking, and all these facts you stated. This video isn't a definitive guide to tricking history, but it is relevant. I only created this to show competitors in sport martial arts and how the styles changed and adapted. Maybe someday when I'll have time I'll create "A History of Tricking" video. I guess the moral of the story... don't read too deep into this vid- just sit back and appreciate it for what it is. FtS

[@froliciouspanda]

It's weird that non of really know how much our actions will affect us in the future. When these martial artiest were adding tricks to their kata they would have never guessed it would have spawned something like tricking. All they wanted to do was be more creative.

[@flippinthescript]

@greytale meh. I made this back in November and was using it as a concept for my documentary project. I didn't plan on releasing it publicly, but I changed my mind yesterday. I didn't put much time into it. I'll have to make a 2nd edition sometime that's more focused specifically on tricks.

[@willepille123]

Was really impressed there by some of the guys. And that kid crain kicked ass!

[@flippinthescript]

The video is called "A History", not "THE History". The point of the video is not to highlight every great martial artist of the last several decades, but is meant to show the evolutionary process of the kicking style of sport martial arts. There are so many martial artists who have personally inspired me, I could never fit them all into a single video. This video was made up of the limited 4K videos I have on my hard drives. If you have more footage, send it to me.

[@MongenathaN]

looking forward to the documentary!!!!! great job!!

[@flippinthescript]

@twistedSkyo ...or look at nearly all the other videos I've posted! Lol. Danny Graham did go absolutely nuts in that form though.

[@Kvvun]

I miss manny brown, chris de vera and jeremy marinas... but it´s still great video!!!!!!

[@gdong]

so nostalgic, even tho i'm not a martial artist, ppl gotta understand that w/o these innovators, we wouldnt b the ppl we are now

[@428ghost]

Wicked retrospective.

[@karwac]

rise of tricking without Daniel Sterling, without Calman Csoka, without Sesshoumaru... damn Man...it's time to start to dig, and learn something about tricking:D

[@00filu]

wow, what an excellent job !

AM i supposed to see so many people who create this sport including Vietnamesemen while my people in my nation still blind before this piece of creation?

[@nicholasball5082]

you should name and put this song as its own video, it's really good

[@palosh.tricks]

2:01 haha I love the old school corkscrew :D

[@gimlysadasda]

@Spookimitsu My pleasure.

[@DarianZG]

There were many more people in the 90's who created the foundation for what it is now. There was one man who inspired all of them. Actually two. Stephen Ho (yes the stunt guy on Conan O'Brien) and Eric Lee of Hwa Rang Do. Both helped make the tricking scene long before many of the people you listed. There are many others in the 90s too: Jason Shapiro Brian Ruth Brian Smith Daniel Spalding Gary Waugh Darian Vorlick Chris Crisostomo And many. many, many more that should be on that list.

[@dany3pl]

Song name please !

[@theendlesssuffering]

What about Ernie Reyes and their West Coast Action Team?

[@DanielNapolitano]

No manny brown or alex davydov or marcel jones??

[@beeftkd]

No Ming liu?! Sick vid none the less thanks for the stroll down memory lane

[@TanweerGafoo]

Graham And Anis Legends.

[@mrhayhurst]

Awesome!!!

[@nikoflow_fm9541]

it's interesting to see how the acrobatic/tumbling part of tricking really exploded after 1999

[@TetherGames]

Tricking skills can be used for many different activities to offer benefit

[@jarhead540]

Amazing video

[@PaulsWRX]

Steve Terada

[@gimlysadasda]

@Spookimitsu Sesh's real name is Sean Ellis

[@Baxz]

Forgot another wushu guy Dong Xiu "DX", ah well...you can make another soon =)

[@flippinthescript]

@herkesus No, this video is four minutes and forty one seconds long.

[@flippinthescript]

@ItsAllJustMovement I tried to chose the athletes that were the best competitors of their time. Mike Guthrie was never a big presence in competition.

[@RusticB]

I love this! =]

[@flippinthescript]

@tony3tobias yeah, no Sammy, no Kalman, no Marcel, no Dechelle, no Gemma... I could go on. But you're right, Sammy deserves to be in this list.

[@TheDslide]

LoL yeah totally I forgot about that one + His sideswipe looks freaking epic

[@Creekmore]

@ItsAllJustMovement It's not about the tricking dude. It's about the martial arts.

[@Kira3150]

Nice video Song > Video ?

[@TheDslide]

3:41 Is that what i think it is ? A Raiz hyper ?

[@flippinthescript]

@tricknickmusic It's amazing how many trickers today don't believe or respect the fact that these athletes are the root of the sport.

[@MXTreme1]

Very good Editing.. Only one Word : EvOlUtion..! ;-))

[@flippinthescript]

@patcatanyag thanks!

[@Malcham7]

7 people got injured by trying to duplicate the moves from this video

[@flippinthescript]

@Kira3150 My song. Custom made. :)

[@herkesus]

1993- Date of birth future best tricksters!

[@flippinthescript]

@MikeMaguireNY One more thought before I go- look at this way if you don't get where I'm coming from... I could have called the video "A History of Sport Martial Arts - the Evolution of Hand Combinations" or "A History of Sport Martial Arts - the Rise of Weapon Tossing". I think the key word is "A history", not "The history". Ok, I'm done. Thanks for your replies.

[@Shaolin913]

To be honest this video should have included ALOT more people. But the vid probably would be 10 - 20 minutes longer.

[@DarianZG]

Ming Liu DX Ramir Mosqueda Richard Brandon Larry Lam Chris Cassamassa Li Jing Ricky Lee Abdul Love Chucky Patterson Kingston Ng Arnold Chon Ernie Reyes Jr. Omar Guerrero Why aren't all these listed. They contributed just as much if not more to the scene.

[@Spookimitsu]

Anthony Atkins... is that Sesshomaru??

[@flippinthescript]

@ThatOneGuy5515 I'd make the video 20 years long if I had the time...

[@herkesus]

@flippinthescript you did ._. 1990-2010

[@ItsAllJustMovement]

shoulda put Mike Guthrie in there man ahhhhh!!! Anis killed it tho!

[@tricknickmedia]

@tricking4life1 tricking started from martial arts, but today there are trickers with no martial arts experience.

[@flippinthescript]

@kickyim Wow, you're welcome. :)

[@tricking4life1]

@tricknickmusic a lot of trickers came from martial arts, what are you talking about

[@Creekmore]

@ItsAllJustMovement Lol you scared me for a sec man haha XD. I thought you were legit pissed lol. But thanks so much bro, that means a lot

[@flippinthescript]

@twistedSkyo Haha oh yeah for sure! At the end of that form, they all just ran out in the ring and freaking lost it.

[@ShortPandaFilms]

MIKE CHAT!!!

[@nikolamaricic3777]

Yet you forgot where they take it from Wushu and Chinese Acrobatics that exist way before 1920ies and have all this you look here for hundreds years .

[@ChocolateMagnums]

Watching this now, I realized that this is how Lili fights in Tekken 6. O.o

[@Kira3150]

@flippinthescript Tell me this very good song > sorry for bad english xD

[@MikeMaguireNY]

I hope i dont come across as a dick but what im trying to say is after about 2003-2004 trickers started to take things into their our hands and the evolution of tricking started to happen from people who just tricked to trick, not for karate or to compete. this video should of ended around 2004. I still love flipping the script and what you guys are doing for the sport :)

[@Creekmore]

@0XaoXao0 Ott isn't/wasn't a martial artist. This tricking at its roots.

[@DanielNapolitano]

No manny brown???

[@philipbacani9400]

Now who is the 2011 to 2021??

[@flippinthescript]

@999taira Both XMA and tricking stem from these legends. The term "XMA" has only been around for a few years. Both sports wouldn't be what they are if it wasn't for these martial artists trying to out-do each other year after year in competition.

[@Spookimitsu]

@gimlysadasda Thank you sir

[@IsseiKimura]

aniiiiis

[@Coerced]

it's called a sideswipe

[@BobbySaranglaoNZ]

LMAO 3:40

[@itme20]

:D

[@hotpopcorncake]

I can do this in a cubical

[@MikeMaguireNY]

This is more like the history of sport karate. Tricking has a lot more history then just sport karate. There were much more important things that happened outside of sport karate that influenced the growth of tricking. The first gathering in 2003 in Toronto (they were the first to call it a gathering), about mannys browns first swing through. or Chris Balualua doing the first doublebtwistHyperHook. it needs more clips from things that happened in the tricking community not sport martial arts.

[@bboyHarrypotter]

hahahaha it skips 4:40

[@999taira]

Tricking? I think its Exrtreme Martial Arts in this video. Not even martial arts tricking. Tricking is a free style discipline and its only inspired by xma.

[@flippinthescript]

@kickyim Wow, you're welcome. :)
