Training in Japan 2: Tricking and stunt work at Studio BOS

Just finished editing the next episode of Training in Japan, profiling Studio BOS, where I do a lot of my trick-kicking, gymnastics and stunt fall training. Check it out! 

Tricking with Rebel Alliance (Aug. 15th)

My good friend Jackie Nattapong, the leader of Tokyo’s Rebel Alliance tricking group put on a full day tricking seminar last weekend, and Jackie invited me to attend. PowerArts, hailing from Osaka was also there, as well as another good friend (and the highest jumping white dude I’ve ever seen), Enis Cetin a powerhouse of a tricker from Germany. (Yellow T-shirt)

The seminar covered a multitude of techniques ranging from straight up martial arts tricks like lazyboys, sideswipes, and 540s to basic gymnastics techniques such as back and front handsprings and backflips.

All in all, it was a really good vibe, and a lot of fun. It was nice to cover such a wide variety of techniques (which gives me a lot of ‘project kicks’ to work on over the next few months), but I wish I could have spend more time on each techniques. Such is how it goes sometimes though. As everyone was there for different things, I could appreciate RA’s wanting to cover a vast array of techniques. Can’t wait for the next one.
