You do realize that each bending style was copied from different martial arts styles right?

Firebending - Shaolin Kung Fu

Earthbending - Hun Gar

Waterbending - Tai Chi

Airbending - Ba Gua

This. This will come in handy someday.

[–]Tomorrow_he_is_off 1 point2 points ago

You made me smile so big.

[–]fullyoperational 1 point2 points ago

My thoughts exactly. Someone more talented than me make a gif please.

[–]HaydenTheFox 0 points1 point ago

Came to see the comments to see if we had leaked again. I was not disappointed.

[–]dawsx 0 points1 point ago

Requesting that someone edits in flames.

[–]mtgusa 10 points11 points ago

If flying monkeys ever try to invade we've got our man.

[–]a_starfish 10 points11 points ago

I have those pants! Therefore I can do that.

[–]iAMtheTROUBLEDone 11 points12 points ago

Actor/Athlete: Anis Cheurfa

[–]Thezealot 1 point2 points ago

made sure this was mentioned here. Possibly the best in the sport.

[–]DeFeet 3 points4 points ago

Please tell me you have more gifs like that!

[–]Mapes[S] 3 points4 points ago

Found it here!

[–]IAmA_Alien_AMA 3 points4 points ago

Next time he needs to kick Yao Ming this will come in handy.

[–]rogersmith25 5 points6 points ago

Has anyone ever landed one of these ever in any fight ever... ever?

[–]anotherDocObVious 2 points3 points ago

Agreed this is choreographed, but here goes:

[–]rogersmith25 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for posting that - those videos were really cool.

The reason I asked was because I didn't know if that was a viable fighting technique or if it was more like "gymnastics".

[–]anotherDocObVious 0 points1 point ago

Well, to be honest, these are flashy moves. In a real fight on the road, doing such flashy stuff will only make you lose your energy quickly and make you vulnerable to a simple KO in the face.

If you really want to see "viable fighting technique", you need to check out Bas Rutten's fighting techniques. Quick, dirty, but SUPER efficient.

Now THAT - that is guaranteed to take down any moron. However, if you actually see Bas's sincere advice, he says he would, ANYDAY, just walk over, give a handshake, and buy a beer for the other guy. Better walk away with full faces and knuckles, rather than in pain and general bad feelings.

Anyways, that's some preachy stuff.

Like I said, check out Bas' suggestions - that is meant to take out the fight in any situation.

Be prepared to laugh your heart out at some of the vocalizations Bas makes (BAAANG BAAANG BAAANG DONT YOU EVER DO THAT!!) :)

[–]0therWhiteMeat 0 points1 point ago

Anthony Pettis will accept your bet

[–]NOTTedMosby 0 points1 point ago

That is so amazing.

[–]stepph 0 points1 point ago

At first I thought this gif was taking long to load, then I realized it's in slo-mo.

[–]RupertDurden 1 point2 points ago

That was filmed at full speed. He's a level 12 black belt. They can do that at will.

[–]mangaka-yaidir 0 points1 point ago

I always feel that if I kick hard, I would snap my leg or dislocate my knee cap.

[–]FlacoSamurai 0 points1 point ago

I thought he was gonna kick a red ball

[–]Piepig 1 point2 points ago

That was just like toribash!

[–]anotherDocObVious 1 point2 points ago

Agreed these are choreographed scenes, but if you want to see these in actual movie scenes / how it's done, here goes:

[–]dirtymistress 0 points1 point ago

Source please? It'd be awesome to see the video of this!

[–]sansdeity 0 points1 point ago

Useful against a 9' opponent.

[–]hankmarducasII 0 points1 point ago

I can do this aswell, although not as good. I was meant to trick (the sport hes doing) with him tonight, but he didn't end up coming. Would have been awesome seeing this in real life.

[–]penguinater477 0 points1 point ago

I could watch this for hours.

[–]PunchOfTheFalcon 0 points1 point ago

I feel special because I do this sport..

[–]calle30 0 points1 point ago

very usefull when fighting people over 3 meters tall.

[–]jevmorgan 0 points1 point ago

Just got my orange belt in Tae Kwon Do/Shinto Ryu. I see stuff like this, and think "One day..."

[–]rAxxt 0 points1 point ago

What is he practicing kicking? Big Bird?

[–]WallOfSoup 0 points1 point ago

That's as neat as it is impractical.

[–]InvertedPenis 0 points1 point ago

Somebody give him a basketball we need some of this at the dunk contest

[–]Delevdos 0 points1 point ago

Is there any normal paced version of this? Or can someone speed up the kick to normal speed?

[–]whattsonn 0 points1 point ago

how does one learn to accomplish this?

[–]BooyahBooyahBooyah -4 points-3 points ago

Getting in quick to say that I for one can't wait for all the armchair-warriors and weekend Bruce Lee's to criticise his technique.

[–]thebigdonkey 4 points5 points ago

What's he kicking up there?

[–]ItzInMyNature 2 points3 points ago

NBA players.

[–]GasparAlbright 0 points1 point ago

I'd go with the flying monkeys mtgusa mentioned above.
