Why You Should Start Tricking

[@johzuke1]

In this video I go through reasons why tricking is an amazing sport. Of course it is solely my perspective and knowledge that is shared in this video. Therefore, I would really appreciate your input. I know many trickers will also watch this although and I really appreciate it. It is because of your views and likes that this video will potentially reach more people who do not trick yet or do not even know what tricking is. But please, comment down below why you think tricking is amazing in your opinion and why people should start doing it. Whether it's some basics here and there on top of your other training or fully diving into the grind, I think tricking has a lot value for people.

[@bensk85]

I'm 37, started tricking at 35. I'm amazed at how much more functionally stronger I've become, especially in the hips and legs. I personally believe that people only start feeling old when they start acting old, like being a couch potato. My dad died Young and I made it my personal goal to change my life to live as long as I can for my wife and daughter's sake.

I started tricking at 31. After years of parkour and being terrified of flipping tricking helped me break through my fear of going upside down. Personally I prefer parkour. But tricking has the added benefit that you don’t need any objects. Just flat ground Not sure if you mention it in the video, but most adults are lonely. Both tricking and parkour communities are very close and vibrant. You make fast friends and you make them for life. Community is good for the soul

[@johzuke1]

Absolutely amazing! The community is an important part of these sports for sure. Adult loneliness is a real issue and I agree that both parkour and tricking are great for getting similar people together.

[@Tricking4PALM]

I believe the nice community is a result of humans innate ingroup-favouritism. Because the trickers you meet at gatherings most likely define their identity at least in part as „tricker“ (an identity that, in everyday life, will make it very hard to find a connection with other people over because it‘s so rare), other people being trickers is a good enough common denominator for you to feel like you‘re part of a small, special in-group with them. And because humans tend to enjoy being with their group, they will automatically assume you‘re a good person, and therefore be nice to you (which in turn leads to you being nice to them, which in turn leads to an overall nice community). You can observe this a lot with niche interest gatherings or conventions, but because trickers also tend to be a bit more outgoing than the average person (as most people who do sports are, because they literally have to go out to do their sport lol), this effect seems to be amplified. Same for skating, parkour, and other similar sports communities.

I was told after my accident (at 20), that I would never be able to professionally pursue TKD (my previous sport). I went to a parkour gym one day and saw tricking and it was beyond my wildest TKD dreams! I am shocked by how much dynamic flexibility I've regained and explosive power I'm able to harness through tricking.

Got first time exposed to tricking when I was 14; a new kid with superpowers from another town joined our class and did 540s and backflips between lessons. For me he was the coolest kid on earth but I thought there is no way that "I" could learn any of that superhuman stuff. Time went by doing skiing and going to the gym. At 20 yrs got exposed to tricking again. This time I had just finished military service and had the biggest confidence on earth and then I took the challenge to learn my first tricks. Trained for 2 years, got the basics down and had tons of fun but with zero consistency in my training. 3rd time, at 25 yrs, realized that this stuff is not going to get any easier later and first time got really into the grind to hunt my dream tricks. Been on the grind now for 2 years and progressing. So if you're someone who wants to throw tricks but don't believe you can learn this stuff: YOU can! Get out there, be patient, train smart and have fun.

I started tricking 4 years ago and got a few overuse injuries that lasted years because I was not conditioned when I started and I was really obsessed with progress. in the last year I've done a lot of rehab and I'm about 80-90% the way there to be able to start jumping again without pain I've managed to find alternatives to tricking during this time. I've started doing dancing and I've got myself a punching bag that I punch or kick a lot. I've got a bo staff that I train with and it's been very fun and it managed to fill that itch that tricking used to, and I am very physically active everyday. it feels a bit bad that tricking didn't manage to be more of my life, but as years pass, it is one of the things I want to eventually get back to. right now I have too many hobbies and high interests I wanna emphasize that whilst tricking can be really fun and has a lot of depth, it can be really dangerous and it should be treated really seriously, especially physical conditioning and training carefully. it's very easy to throw yourself at something your body is not ready for

I started training parkour when I was 12 then when I was 14 I met a guy who works in a circus and he helped me to do the backflip and the b-twist and he showed some tricking moves, kicks, twist and flips. From that day I started tricking and I loved it. I found a tricking school and I learned new tricks and had fitness training that helped me strengthen my body, I had a lot of jumping power in my legs, At the end of 2019 I was preparing for my first tricking competition, which was going to be in 2020, but I moved to another state and with the pandemic, sadly I couldn't continue training and only did the most basic moves. Some time later I was in depression due to the pandemic and personal things, some time later two members of my parkour/tricking group passed away and I started to feel so broken 'cause I felt like I had lost all my dreams and a year ago I decided to train tricking again because it's the only thing that can make me feel better, feel something that no other activity can make me feel in such a unique way, now I'm 21 years old and I was able to recover all my tricks and start doing some that they're new to me. I've promised myself that I won't give up as the tricker that I am and that I'll reach the professional level that I've always wanted to achieve since I was 15 years old do it for my parkour/tricking team as well. I would like to make tricking more known in my country 'cause, as you say in this video, tricking has many benefits and together with our great community it can be quite helpful.

Really loved that video and your perspective on tricking I can agree with a lot of the things you’ve said there and it was good to remind myself through your video how valuable tricking is in my life . Also your point about the importance of being carful not getting obsessed with tricking has really caught my attention because I find it so true . If we get too obsessed with tricking it brings out all the good things that exist in it , and it also puts us in more danger to get injured . So stay chill and find your balance around tricking guys ! 🤟

Yeah I feel like the balance is something we all struggle at some point and many never really find. All or nothing mindset is very common. Also idea that you can't just enjoy what you can already do and always need to strive for more. So many people quit tricking at some point. Maybe these are some contributors.

Great stuff! You nailed every reason! Also what made me an impression with tricking is how much it is a problem solving sport and how much it forces you to think of biomechanics, your posture, your hips, your chest etc in a way you never had to. Another reason is you develop tricking vision like in parkour and climbing, you start to look and appreciate flat surfaces in another way especially grass surfaces😅😅😅

[@johzuke1]

Yeah totally. I feel like my mind muscle connection is so good especially since I have combined tricking and lifting into my training.

[@Qu.Z.]

Hey Johannes, maybe idea for next video, you should also talk about bodyweight in tricking, I gained weight and it impacts my tricking, also if you struggle with a trick and tried everything, except losing weight, maybe weight loss is a solution to land that trick. I think top trickers in the world are all skinny thin with little bit muscles like a professional climber. you should make a video about the best bodytype for tricking. Your videos helped me alot.

[@johzuke1]

@@Qu.Z. yes this is an important one! One short thing I could say here already now is that it matters a lot how you gained the weight. Obviously gaining solely body fat is not good but there are many different ways to gain weight through muscle too and they impact your tricking very differently. For example did you gain muscle by bodybuilding exercises and pure hypertrophy or stuff like heavy clean and jerk and single leg deadlift strength training. These have vastly different impacts on your ability to move. Another good thing to think about. What if you had low muscle mass and power to start with and developed bad joints and ligaments from just forcing your body to trick hard without ever having a good base to do so. In that case you can mitigate the damage by doing exercises that potentially make you gain weight but at the same time help with your issues. For example slow reps build the tendons the best but also make your muscle volume increase. Could make you bigger and slower at tricks. I would still view it as a net positive in this situation. People are just so different with their bodies and starting levels with different body related things.

Holy shit what a video! As a tricker I might be little biased but I agree totally! Enjoyed a lot watching this. However, I might have to say that freerunning would be more complex and versatile since tricking is one part of that sport. Or lately freerunning has been more influenced by tricking.

[@johzuke1]

@@tobyskillz1 yeah that is true if we consider that freerunning can basically incorporate whole of tricking into it while having all the obstacles and stuff specific to it then yes. But on the other hand freerunning doesn't really rely on tricking combos that much. We get to the question, is there even a line between tricking and freerunning in a way. When does freerunning become tricking when someone starts to combine tricks on ground/floor in the ways of tricking in a freerunning line. Let's not go there and let's just say both sports are complex in their own ways but freerun could be argued to be even more complex but it depends on several things 😂

[@tobyskillz1]

We can "go there" next time we meet if we feel like talking about it 😊 I see what you are saying. But how I see it, freerunning is "free" pretty much by definition.

Have you ever tried capoeira? The only sport I can think of that could be more complex in terms of body movement and creativity. The wildest combos I've seen there are something noone sane would even think about as a possibility. Add to it that you often have limited space and you move around another person doing his stuff. But tricking still stands out a lot and impresses me with how powerful it is. Capoeira tends to be more grounded and on hands, closer to breakdancing.

[@johzuke1]

No I never tried it and tricking definitely has a lot of capoeira influence. But I like to think it like this. In tricking you could basically incorporate all the movements that are done in capoeira and still call it tricking in a way. Because tricking does not really have any limits.

As much as I would like to do tricking, I don't have the opportunity. I don't have access to a gym, mats, trampolines, boxes, foam pits, nothing. All I have is a strip of grass in my backyard, and I did try learning, but when I got to the front handspring, I injured my left knee on the 6th of July. I couldn't train legs for 2 months and still now I get some pain. I got pain by extending the knee and bending it in the ends of the range of motion. I don't think I will ever get into tricking again until I get access to the proper safety equipment, for now I can do a cartwheel, some super basic combos and kicks, weird cartwheel gimmicks like gumbi and machine but nothing that requires you to flip, and I think for the time being I'll stop here. Since my main sport is Calisthenics, the thought of possibly getting injured from tricking and damaging my calisthenics progress, both acutely or chronically, just isn't worth it for me. Your videos partially inspired me, especially the 60 tricking basics, and I even left a comment saying I would return when I had learned all of the tricks in the video, my main inspiration was Spider-Man, I wanted to become like him, strong and super agile. Unfortunately it's gonna take a lot of time, or perhaps never.

When training on grass only, the progress is slower definitely. Sounds like you had some tough luck and therefore a bad first experience with flipping. I'm sure it feels really bad and discouraging.

I really want to start tricking, im also a martial artist though a beginner right now but the thought of injuries scares me a bit what should i do to overcome this fear????

[@johzuke1]

Hey! As someone who has had many injuries and even serious ones I can say that they are not the end of the world and many of them are actually very preventable by doing enough conditioning and not training tricking when you are absolutely exhausted. Most of my injuries happened when I was exhausted and trying too hard stuff that my mind couldn't react to fast enough. If you don't push it too much, tricking is fairly safe but of course faster progress requires some risk taking from time to time.

I always despised the question "why are you tricking?"... why play football, why gaming, why swim, why read a book? Obviously the person enjoys doing it for some reason, isn't that enough? Also the question "what's the point?", haha that's just a rude way of phrasing "why are you doing/enjoying it". Name me a sport that has a "point" that is worth while more then any other sport... Good video Johannes! Enjoyed it

[@johzuke1]

@@danielkarnestad840 haha indeed. The point is enjoyment and purpose. One could argue that for example going to the gym is wiser than tricking because it has less long term health problems for your joints and probably better metabolic effects. But if we think about all sports, there is not really any point in any of them. Any form of exercise is great in moderation is good for us and tricking has all the added complexity benefits compared to many other sports but let anyone do what they want in the end 😄

I think tricking is too OP to not to be part of Olympic Games.

[@johzuke1]

@@DocAmbient suggestions on how it should be done down here! As someone who regularly judges battles I do not think that is a good way to do it. Too random and hard for the regular people to watch. Better would be to have different categories where participants could be given some actual points based on difficulty and execution of the things they do. Don't ask me any specifics though.

[@DocAmbient]

@@johzuke1 There you right too! Most of oficcial sports are not loyal for beginners to go train with pros, and also Olympic Games can corrupt relationship in community/

Everyone trains based on their own schedule, recovery, time spent training etc. There is no correct amount. If someone tells there is, it's a lie.

Can 'Trickers' run fast? They have a lot of athletic ability. I just wondered if tricking type exercises would be better than the usual plyometric and weight training exercises that track atheltes do, for developing sprinting speed... Thoughts?

[@johzuke1]

@mathewstovell5167 what is considered fast? Trickers are probably fast compared to general public but way slower than people who train for short distance sprinting competitions. Training tricking for faster sprinting is not a good idea at all. Tricking for tricking gains but tp increase sprinting through that would be unnecessarily hard and inefficient. Weights and plyo are in fact great things for trickers too.

[@mathewstovell5167]

@@johzuke1 Ok, but I certainly wasn't considering doing advanced tricks. I mean even thebasic cartwheel - which I have been preacticing lately, seems to have more carry-over to my running, than squats and kettlebells and jumps etc.

[@johzuke1]

Probably in the beginning since you unlock some more complex understanding to moving and get more mobile etc. So it could be true in some cases.
