the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

Kick ass!

looks like in brazil.... i heard soccer is a way of life there
i think they mix some capoeira there too

This is fake just like the Bruce Lee ping pong clips. This version is EA advertising the FifaStreet 3 video game.

Fooled me.

Dude... really?! Look at the part at 0:12-13... Please tell me you don't think that's actually humanly possible.
(Unless you've never played soccer, in which case I guess it's possible for you to not be able to see its impossibility. )

... where would we all be without the power to imagine?

Taking boxing lessons and tightening up on your wrestling skills instead of messing around with antiquated dance routines?


heh heh *zinnnng*

the EA site shows some of the filming of the clips that went into the edited video. most of it looks real but probably took a lot of takes. sorry i can't view :12 - :13 now. where you can find great gymnasts/parkour/soccer players beats me but i do remember being a kid and a gymnast did handspring throw-ins and other non gymnasts somehow picked it up. i have no aerials but even i can do a little juggling and balance a ball on my head for a couple of seconds.

It's entertainment. The stuff people spend years learning how to do is pretty amazing. Watching something entertaining on youtube quality is mostly just for fun. It's like going to the movies.

Just please don't tell me that Danny McGaskill bicycle video was faked. I would be disappointed.

no idea if :12 and :13 is digitally enhanced. i think it's possible, but I am more wowed by the move at :18 - :20. very nice.

I was fooled at first too but definately fake. Just go to the website advertised at the end of the video.

It is not without a little bitter taste in my mouth that I say I feel this way about a great deal of the methodologies put forth as martial arts these days.

But I'm just a fuckin dick that way apparently. lol

"Possible"? I gotta ask, have you ever played soccer?

And at 18-20... The ball is falling down like someone kicked it out of a space station... Sorry man, but that is not only fake, that's a badly-made one.
