better place to work on the difficult tricks than in a safe environment?

Martial arts tricking in Hawaii has become more and more popular recently. The training hinges on encouraging individuals to find their own way to move, to add what is specifically their own creation to the fundamentals they learn from those who have gone before them. "We all harbour immense potential for extraordinary activity. We all possess the innate ability to move with the seemingly superhuman attributes. The truth is, of course, that there is nothing superhuman about these activities – and there are no secrets either. Diligent, intelligent practice and focused, regular training will bring about the realization of this potential."
Urban Movement
This combines a series of natural body movements to quickly and effectively traverse about our surroundings. It can include running, jumping, climbing, balancing, swinging or even crawling, whatever the situation calls for. We simulate these situations to train and prepare the body as well as the mind to overcome the obstacles ahead in our run. Repetition of this type of movement will allow for proper progressive increase in skill. The training is also about preservation of the body, injury prevention. While you will learn how to use your body effectively in any situation, the curriculum is about readiness of the body when needed through constant conditioning and repetition of techniques by properly learning how to avoid injury.
