Jackson Rudolph US Open ISKA World Martial Arts Championship 2011 

People who say that it is more showmanship than effective you are right. But this CATEGORY of the tournament is for showmanship not effectiveness.

It's not showman it's a skill of mastering the weapon those that go out there on stage have shown there dedication to the art that they are committed to..

Guys keep in mind most if not all of these guys and gals performing are incredibly gifted in "effective" martial arts as well.

That skills with the stuff is amazing! That show around is ridiculous!

He is so good!!

Love this!!

Amazing!

Very well done

ULTIMATE COMBOOOOOO!!

You are really good

Love it

I got chills man haha

That was pretty good baton twirling.

Jackson can do traditional bo as well.

Good

I wish to one day fly over to America and compete here at least once, i specialize in nunchucks. But still have a long way to go in regards to skill level. If i am to make it, I'd attend class AA and compete against the worlds best.

que nivel

Jackson

Very impressive, great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is this form or style of bojutsu is this?

This guy is nice with a bo!

Where Can WE find this staff ?

Too many IGNORANT people over the sport commenting. Not a martial arts? I dare you to do a sparring session with any of them. Lol

King Kong now reported to be taking twirling lessons in Heaven

nice, more showmanship than effective. anyone who studies martial arts for these purposes is not a martial artist but a performer.

I missed the last episode of Dragonball Z (feat. T-Pain)

this is a goat

how many years did you have the black

What material is this bo made of?

De aquí al circo Atayde

can you tell me the song of 00.20...?

Whaaaaaat the 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤔 are you sure we are still on planet Earth

WUKONG with his ulti ??

Been in martial arts for over 30 years. I've seen "sport" karate evolve into this...whatever you call it. This should be a category called Extreme Baton Twirling for Color Guard enthusiasts. The martial arts in this type of performance (used to be called "creative forms" and no you couldn't win tournaments or grand championships with them, it was for fun) has been so watered down that the gymnastics and twirling are all they consist of. What little martial technique I saw was average in a few parts at best. All that being said, it does take hard work, skill, and practice to accomplish the performance seen here so I won't begrudge the young man or condemn his performance based on what it is. What it is however is not martial arts to me and that's my opinion of it.

As someone who has trained for more than 20 years in traditional and non-traditional martial arts, I can safely say that whatever he was doing had nothing to do with real martial arts. It's likely not his fault. He's a kid listening to his parents and his "teacher." When he gets older, I hope he can put aside his ego and go train with real masters of the martial arts. Go spend a few years in Japan where the teachers couldn't give two squirts whether you can twirl a fiberglass bo like batton. I've spent several years overseas having my ego pummeled into submission, then built back up as I learned what true martial arts are.

Amazing! I bet he pooped a little though at the end

Oh my God.... :-(

Is it karate?

Started off dog shit then improved very nicely but where are the real things :s

I'm talking about traditional karate, the Japanese way. As in Goju Ryu or Shotokan or Wado Ryu ect. Seeing as Karate means open hand closed fist, there's no reason for "traditional bo" or any kind of weapons. If you want to learn weapons go do Ju Jitsu or iado.

Can't stop laughing.

I still think Asians and were the Martial Arts Came From Is better =w= But he still did good tho💙

WTF? Is this extreme baton twirling or what?

Certes c'est un bon athlète (ou acrobate, allez savoir) mais question purement arts martiaux y a rien derrière. Cela tient plus du show que d'un kata ou autre, voire une approche stylisé du combat. Crier à tue-tête n'a aucun sens et un vrai pratiquant martial ne s'amuse pas à jongler avec son arme, sauf si il veut la perdre ou surtout se prendre un coup car son attention est rivé dessus pour la récupérer. Un bon élément pour le cinéma d'action mais pas pour une compétition d'arts martiaux à proprement parler.

Not a single kick and only a few punches during the whole routine, F'ing weak......

booo this is wack

Nice performer, not at Martial Artist

Wtf is this ?!

Go to Japan. Learn.

this is a dance contest...

WTF is this. Martial arts, cheerleading, or tryouts for a TMNT movie.

Can this be done without all the goofy senseless yelling?

I like it but this is only for circus show it's a useless for defense or attack position

the goofy senseless yelling is where some say you draw your power from, so no.

Kinda really gay especially all the yelling

You join martial arts to protect yourself not bullshit tricks with a stick

So stupid all yelling . Try it at a bar fight . Good luck.

so...? martial art has become a juggling act? Here let me throw my stick that's green, up into the air, i'll spin my body a few times like they do in juggling and catch it. Score: 0.0
