How is Teach Me Tricking Different?
Teach Me Tricking is not a collection of tutorials; it's tricking lessons. Each video is like taking a class with me, where we'll walk through the skills and learn in a progression so you can determine where your current abilities are. In every lesson I'll offer multiple options for you to customize your training based on whether you find the material challenging or easy. I'm not just giving you 'tips' or sharing what has worked best for me. I'm guiding you through the process of how to get your body to perform new movements. Telling someone how to do flips is a nice fantasy, but in reality you need tangible instructions you can realistically follow. Here are things you will not hear me say:
"Spot your landing." Looking toward where you land does not make you land a trick.
"Spot your target." Looking at a target and kicking toward a target are not the same.
"Now just put everything together." If it didn't start together, this can end poorly.
"Throw your arm to twist." It can help, but sometimes your body still won't twist.
"Kick/Jump/Twist hard" Sure, if the skill is already working. If not, need more info.
"You have to fall if you want to learn." No, everything I teach is to keep you on your feet.

See for yourself what Realistic is like:
Land successfully, learn safely, build consistency.

Learn Tricking with Structure
Teach Me Tricking is based on my Cinematic Martial Arts program; it's a structured curriculum for learning tricking with levels like in the martial arts. There is no special equipment, spotting, or crashing required. Here's how it works: you start at Level One. Everyone does, because Level One is a framework upon which students learn to build trick-ING (as opposed to individual tricks). There is no time limit. You can move through each level quickly if it's easy, or take your time otherwise. After you've made your way through the material you can record (on your own time, wherever you train, with as many retakes as you want) your Level One tricking test. Submit for review & feedback and just like that you've unlocked the next level while improving at tricking!
Learn Tricks. Level Up.






What Do The Levels Cover?



"Cinematic Martial Arts is a systematic and organized way to learn tricking safely and successfully. I've been using Dan's system of training my students and also myself, and I've learned more from CMA than in the ten years' time I've been tricking altogether."
-Ish Payne, Martial Posture Owner & Lead Instructor
