    I don't know 14, but I can definitely guess what the Top 5 most challenging XMA "tricking" moves are...:

    1) convincing traditional martial artists that what XMA does has anything to do with actual martial arts

    2) finding excuses not to spar when asked

    3) justifying how techniques using fake "competition" weapons that do not resemble the real thing in any possible way are valid, and how practicing them actually makes them a proficient fighter

    4) also, not killing themselves when attempting to perform those moves with real weapons

    5) not making me waste my time after a demonstration having to explain to people which have watched XMA demonstrations that we don't twirl our swords or do flips because anyone that did that would be dead within a fraction of a second.

    Yes, as you can tell I do not approve of XMA. Primarily because it gives people a false impression of what martial arts are. Maybe if it was called dance fighting or something like that then I wouldn't take such offense to it. I could just be bored to, who knows.
