| My real name in Or Eliason, my nick is Ariad, I use Ariad as my “tricking” nick and everybody knows me as Ariad. Please call me: Ariad (Or Eliason) in the contributors list, or something alike :P I'm 16 years old. Email: AriadEiz@hotmail.com Ariad (Or Eliason) I live in Israel . I'm one of the founders and a member of the first XMA team in Israel – Team Naien ( www.teamnaien.tk ). I practice Karate Goju Ryu for 6 years until now. I'm practicing with poi ( www.homeofpoi.com for identification) for 4 years until now, it's more juggling than a weapon but its great, used to fire it up but after some injuries I decided to stick with stick lights. More than a year ago I saw some videos of bo-staff tricking, it inspired me allot and I started to trick alone and tried to imitate what I saw in the videos. I had some experience with spinning things from the poi (I'm one of the bests in Israel ) and I learned moves quickly with the staff, this inspired me even more and I was spinning a bo-staff in front of the TV everyday, I really enjoyed it. I also wanted to learn acrobatic tricks, I was searching for a place to learn but couldn't find one, my dream was to be a member of an XMA team and perform in shows, I was really eager for it. After a few months of practicing alone I've met some trickster guys (one of them is Simon Barak, he is a contributor here) And we started to trick together, I taught them weapon tricks and they taught me acrobatics, I learned do to 540 and almost a back flip. After a while my right knee started to hurt so I quit tricking and kept practicing only with weapons. I study archeology alone and I go to digs here and there, I also do allot of trips to the desert, I like to fossil-hunt, I needed my knee in a good shape for the other things I enjoy, so I had to give up acrobatics. But I kept training with the weapons, the only thing that will make me stop doing that is if I'll loose my arms. Our XMA team kept growing and evolving, we perform here and there, and soon we will also be on TV. I'm known as one of the best Bo-trickers in Israel if not the best. I made my dream come true :) Inside my karate we learn traditional weapons, I have MA background in Bo, Jo, Tonfa, Katana, Tanto and Nunchako, I also own them :D I have a few more weapons in my collection that I practice with alone, I have a Philippine spear, and a big chain with painful wooden sticks in the ends that I've built by myself. I don't own weapons only for beauty, that is a waste of money. My next goal is to practice more with Tonfas, and to be able to trick with them nicely, to add more parts into our XMA shows, that way our shows are longer = more money :D and also because it's a great weapon and I want to master it as well. I have many more plans for weapons but only time will tell if I succeeded them. Bo combos: |
