Tricking
Martial arts tricking, known simply as tricking, is a training discipline that combines the kicks of martial arts with flips and twists from gymnastics as well as many dance moves and styles from breakdancing and capoeira. It aims to achieve an aesthetic display of different combinations of “tricks”. Tricking practitioners are commonly referred to as trickers or tricksters, and can come from various backgrounds.
