Martial arts mixed with gymnastics...?

where could i learn that?


like martial arts with a bunch of flips


and handsprings,


and jumping and lying kicks and stuff.


weapon training too...


targets...sticks...swords...etc...


the flips would be useful to avoiding a punch and


stuff.





i don't think wu shu looks very effective in real life situations though...





is shaolin kun fu effective in real life?

Martial arts mixed with gymnastics...?
All martial arts incorporate aspects of gymnastics in them. However, the martial arts you see in movies is not real at all. I've watched three different documentaries where the martial artist technical advisers talked and demo'd true moves and then how they had to radically change them so that they "looked" good for the camera. They showed how the fancy moves...flying kicks, somersaults, etc. would never be used in actual combat and how a real artist would literally chop up anyone foolish enough to use them to show off. Real martial arts is done quickly...fight's over in a couple seconds and it's usually so fast you don't even see the moves...just hear the sound of broken bones.





I'd say, go with Tae Kwon Do personally...I think it's probably the most 'western' friendly.
