After about 10 hours of surgery yesterday and 5 today, the site is sporting a new look. Some links are still down, but you'll notice the frames are gone, and the main links are slightly different. The terminology link is going to feature a combination of a new tricktionary, the MAT General Kicking Rules, and a TOTALLY RE-DONE combination listing, finished now- have a look! Next update: recreating dead links and new links
February 2nd, 2007
Probably the most important material ever to come out of this site, the MAT VERTICAL SPIN KICK RULES have been updated (rounded off a couple things I left out, added/subtracted from a few pages, got rid of the term "gainer step" in favor of the much more reasonable "swing step") with 1 of two updates it will ultimately hold. Notice also it has been moved out of the "tribunal" section because it did not receive any worthy opposition and still hasn't to this day... the next update to it will feature better examples and possibly some additions to the "faq" portion of it. If you haven't seen it at all yet, please have a look! Next update: recreating dead links and new links
February 3rd, 2007
Updated more links, including the last of the about link and the other news pages. Next update: recreating dead links and new links
February 5th, 2007
The "extra section" is active, with the most important link it will probably ever have up now: Sesshoumaru! If you have no knowledge of that name or "the tricking bible," check em both out now! Next update: "Links" page
February 6th, 2007
The Links page has been redone, I removed links to sites that have not been updated since forever or that went offline and sites that weren't linked back (except for the TT and club540) and added a few important ones, have a look! Also I am beginning work on a tricktionary that will be organized differently and hopefully more efficiently than ever before!

The page for Karate America's Seminar is up, if you are a student of that school you may register at this time. Next update: Tricktionary

Fixed a few typos and broken links, and reworded the afterthought on the wrapthru page. Next update: Tricktionary
February 15th, 2007
Welcome back! After a break, I've decided to hold off on the release of the tricktionary until I have more pages finished. Its progress is moving smoothly so far, however I believe it will be more successful if it has plenty of tricks to begin with, all done by trickers other than myself. In order to accomplish this goal, I have opened up the site to accept footage of trickers here in the community who would like to be a part of the tricktionary as it's built. I am currently looking for quality clips of the following tricks to be included:
butterfly butterfly twist K-kick (aka L-kick aka handplant) aerial cartwheel (so-called "karate" version where the legs go over but hips do not) aerial cartwheel ("gymnast " version where hips go over similar to barani)
So far everyone has been great about submitting the links for their footage, I've got a few pages going now but remember, I am going to include 2 examples of everything so please, if you think your example is good enough don't hesitate to let me know! Hopefully I'll be able to keep the momentum I've got going so far and get new tricks up every day or few days!
February 22nd, 2007
Late update: after some easily solved but extremely time consuming problems, the very beginning pages of the Tricktionary have been posted! Even less than bare bones for now (only 2 actual tricks) but expect daily additions from now on! Also I've recieved some submissions that were just shy of being added so starting tomorrow I will post a separate page with specifics on what I'm looking for to publish.
February 23rd, 2007
A new problem has arisen with the gif examples in the tricktionary- the speed at which they play has randomly been jumping! I have a solution to this problem but in the mean time they may be running too rapidly to see. If this happens, try opening the page in a different internet browser (if you are using firefox try using Microsoft Internet Explorer or a non-Mozilla browser.) Added today: arabian, performed by Sesshoumaru!
February 26th, 2007
Late update: Had no access to the site the last two days, but back on track today with an update on the Tricktionary! All pages updated (some things I forgot to change on the frontflip and backflip pages) as well as 2 new pages: aerial and karate aerial! Next update: New entries in the tricktionary
February 27th, 2007
In the process of adding a new video link, for now I have redone some things in the Learn To Trick link. New Tricktionary material and TT Forum Battles link coming soon! Next update: New entries in the tricktionary and "TT Forum Battles" link
February 28th, 2007
3 new entries in the Tricktionary! I have also created a page describing what exactly I'm looking for in regards to trickers who would like to contribute, it can be found here. Next update: New entries in the tricktionary and "TT Forum Battles" link
