Not quite yet....but I plan on putting together a video for my tae kwon do club to throw up on our website. As soon as I get some clips or even the whole video, I'll either post it here or give a link. Hopefully this thread will spur me into action to get off my but and do it...

Do it!

Haha, thanks for the encouragement, but until I get some things set up it might take a bit....but I may have a short clip or two at the end of this weekend...

Until then, you'll just have to be satisified with the pics in this thread:

This one has a cool little back story. Being a college club we're pretty relaxed and the student pictured has a tendency to randomly attack me. Mostly out of jest, and most of the time it's just a quick feint or roundhouse. But this time I was talking to the photographer about shots we should get of the class and she came up from behind and tried to grab me. I have no idea what I did, but this is how we ended up, with the photographer right there taking a picture of me, as my jujutsu instructor would say, helping her harmonize with the universe.

Funny story. Nice photos Nick. Thanks!

The photos are very cool Nick. I really like the first one, action shots are the best. Thanks for sharing. :)

Very Coooool Nic, very.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice pics, Nick. Can't wait for the movie!

I plan on putting together a video for my tae kwon do club to throw up on our website.
Well, I didn't see you club throw up on your website, but I did like the rest of it. Seriously, that is really cool. Excellent photography...good job catching those action pictures...they look great!

Got some stuff video taped, but anybody that's done video editing knows it can take a while

Those pictures bring back memories... Thanks for sharing. It looks like your cross-training in JJ, Judo and TKD is paying off.

I like the first pic, where you are air-born

looks like you are riding a HUGE, invisible, Harley in the sky....

Yeah, I like the "wire work" in that one too!

Got a very, very, very, rough draft...basically just to show where I want to go...the music i just threw in, but it seemed to work well. But I need to get a lot more clips.

So check it out here.... (http://www.geocities.com/bignickolson/TKD.wmv)

COOL:
Vintage "Run-DMC"

I especially enjoyed the demo where you launched that poor skinny person.

Nice!

No kidding! I hope he got his pilot license before that little demo. He was definately airborn. :rolleyes:

Nicely done. Very good choriography. Thanks for posting it!

Well, just remember it's not always me there...but yeah, that was fun.

sorry about the bandwidth problems, by the way...

Who says big guys can't move gracefully? Good job, Bignick!!!

Not bad for 6'5'' and 340 lbs, eh?

looks cool man :)

Great stuff! I'm not much of a kata fan, but the stage fighting and your nunchaku work were awesome. Did anyone else notice the song starts off with a non-word?

I agree, the nunchaku stuff looked great. Shows you've spent ages practicing in your bedroom, whacking yourself round the elbows and in the back of the head over the past few yrs!:)

You study that style too, huh?

That's why I never owned a pair of the foam chucks, the "feedback" of the wood ones are a lot better.

My son saw some foam nunchakus the other night, and I had to explain to him that the foam was there to protect the user, not the partner! But I too always used (octagonal) wooden ones for the feedback. Ya gotta know how you're doing.

Me too, I learned on a pair of 18oz octagons with a chain. I always made sure that I practiced in hearing distance on someone waiting to hear a "Crack!!" so they could come check on me!

No. Very good. I really enjoyed watching.

I just found out that my similiarly sized Physics professor friend studied ballet for years. (not equating your MA with dance, only the idea that large people can be graceful as well as powerful).

Well, hopefully there will be less of me in the future...the goal is to be under 300 by the time I graduate in May...

Good luck with that. Forty pounds by May seems a reasonable, though not easy, goal.

Yeah, he'll get it though. Trust me.

Also, you want more footage for that tape? 'cause we can do that.

Yeah, but that Pizza Hut today didn't help...

Yeah, swing by sometime and we'll video some more stuff...

A video of you two guys eating pizza? Dude, I'll pass!

(And why haven't I gotten an invitation to share some pizza?)

(And why haven't I gotten an invitation to share some pizza?)

Shoot, I'd watch it...while eating pizza. Yes!

Yeah, in case anyone hadn't figured it out...I know this cat...

He's my goto guy on topics of health/fitness/etc...

I'm eager to see a few clips of this nunchaku work without the badwidth problems. I also couldn't see the pictures either, bad deal. >_<

Looks like their back up...

If anybody has any problems with the clip and wants to see it...I can email it to you no problem...just PM me...it's just not good enough to ask Bob to host it here yet...

Finally saw it, not too shabby. You need to put footwork into your chucks stuff and stop looking like you're holding your breath though (makes a flexible weapon seem rigid). The self defense stuff looked amazing though, good speed, excellent breakfalls. Overall, I liked it.

yeah, actually, the chucks are really just filler until I can get a bunch of the other students filmed...didn't have time to plan anything....just started whipping them around...

Good ideas though...

I have never EVER planned any kind of a routine with chucks. They're a weapon that gets into your muscle memory and should just flow out of you like waving your hand around in water.......and then slapping water into somebody's face!

That was massively cool, Nick. I really enjoyed the stage show.

I just saw this...harmonize my ass...you were having fun hurting the poor student...she looks to be in a lot of pain...why do you cause her so much pain?

Ah...don't worry about her...we sorted it all out in the end...

OK...got a new video if you want to check it out. I'll be attaching it shortly...

It's from a demo a few of us did the other day. I compiled all the breaks and added a bit of metal and here we have it...

Ok...here it is!!! Keep your eyes peeled in the last two seconds when you can see Shirt Ripper and Slippery_Pete walk in front of the camera and make a guest appearance...
