has anyone ever seen marcus do karate?

[meadow]

not only did tom let marcus win the arm wrestle, marcus went on to be beaten by a man afraid of spiders who wears camp clothes and makeup.
karate can be adapted for any occasion. has anyone ever seen marcus do karate?

[Taijitu]

Dont think he has ever done karate on his entrance video I think he says he would want to take it up some time. Could be wrong.

When I first watched I wondered why he wasnt doing katas every day to keep in practice so maybe the beating 100 opponents was a little fib?:shocked:

[Dr.Gonzo]

I saw him do a *****ing massive flying kick and I nearly shat I laughed so much.

[SiCkBuLLeT]

Firstly Marcus got beat by a better wrestler its in his blood its there sport, you could tell Siavash had experince in wrestling his technique was good.

I saw Marcus once do a running flying Kick it was very impressive actually :bigsmile:

Marcus didnt take it seriously he wasnt trying hard other siavash would have ended up in the pool and the thing with Tom was that he was acting to be putting in all his efforts.

Try to be more perceptive, you are just seeing things as you would like them to be and not the way it is!

karate can be adapted for any occasion. in iran wrestling is a major sport but vash only has little training as opposed to marcus's karate claims.

Do you think Marcus will use his Karate in real life? The dark horse is unpredictable, acceptance is the key to moving forward....

Marcus did do Karate with Kenneth. Marcus also verified with Kenneth that Marcus successfully completed the Kumite.

[BB22]

Marcus has to keep his killer karate death moves under wraps in case impressionable youngsters or TIBB forum members attempt to copy them in their living rooms.

Marcus is licensed to kill. With great power comes great responsibility.

[florence33]

He is not my biggest fan but the way the scaled the walls when the house mates were protesting and to help Kenny escape was impressive

Marcus is able to leap tall buildings (and high walls) in a single bound. This is a fact.

Flying death kick on Sophie had to be one of the funniest moments ever. What a fukktard lol!

[atieah2009]

lol at when he did tht fly kik near sophie

[BB22]

Poor Sophie, she should have realised that Marcus' killer karate moves are possessed of pinpoint accuracy and there was more chance of her being struck by lightning than of Marcus making contact when he didn't mean to. Hopefully she has learned something from her mistake. Silly, naive girl.

The thing that made it so much funnier is that Marcus had been feeling humiliated over something. I really can't remember what it was.. Sree outjumped him over the pool or Tom was getting attention (before Tom maybe?)
but,
the point was that Marcus was getting plssy and wanted to be the big man for something scary and hilariously chose to scare Sophie with this spontaneous death kick of doom.
Everyone else's reaction are great. Like looking over and 'Oh.. just Marcus wanting attention.. back to whatever..'.

But that was back when it was still funny to watch him making an idiot out of himself.

[Nigeria_Bob]

And that's why everyone loves him…

Hey Kenny you're back for more ridicule, nice to see you again.

marcus competed in Kumite as in sparring, this is done as part of karate training in several disciplines, along with kata and kihon. All three aspects are practised to varying degrees depending upon the style and rank being followed. Not in THE Kumite as in the international fighting tournament featured in movies by JC Van Damme etc.

[BB22]

I think Marcus would probably make a great psychologist. He is undoubtedly astute enough to diagnose the deep-seated psychological trauma that lurks beneath the obsessive hysteria of one or two members of this forum.

A man of many talents, I feel.

[Nigeria_Bob]

If anything Marcus is too talented, which can lead to jealously by housemates and forum members alike. As astute as he is, I got the impression that he tones it down for that very reason.

[Yorkyboy]

Maybe BB didn't make the rules clear to marcus about the Wrestling event.

Obviously from what is being said he was allowed to chop Shi across the throat or take his eye out.

Wrestling+Karate=different contact sports:rolleyes:

[J-Rock]

THAT flying kick was amazing, and shows perfect technique (I know a bit about martial arts)...

If you watch cage fighting you will see that there are often two sides: stand-up and grappling on the floor. Some fighters are great at 'stand-up' but get beaten (sometimes in seconds) when taken down and grappled.

Marcus has not been tested in the BB house on his karate, so we cannot know for sure, but that kick does suggest some skill.

Just rewatched his video and he says he has done Karate. :blush2: What did you guys think of his balance after the kick though?

[madbaddog05]

I suspect the task was specifically designed to give Siavash his moment to shine. Did you notice how confident he was just before he started wrestling with Marcus? I'd bet money that he has wrestling experience and that BB knew that from the interview process:

i cant see how a wrestling match that halfwit tried to fix and wrestling in baby oil shows how good someone is at karate but his mate on BBLB did say his 100 in a row fight was an exsaguration and it was more like 3 but weather or not he is good at karate he is an excellent hilarious housemate that i want to win :hello:

Just wondering. He seems to turn his back to the target too much but maybe that was just because he wanted to face the others. Just wondered if you thought the same.

[Prole]

I think the only thing the video clip of "that kick" proves is that Marcus can jump. Like lots of people who profess to be knowledgeable about martial arts, Marcus talks a good fight.

Mmm. I'm sure he didn't want to really 'target' Sophie. Was just a spur of the moment thing - showing off! In mid-flight he has perfect poise and control, and the kick itself looks the right shape for someone who does martial arts...and he seems to land fairly solid for me. Given his failings at the wrestling last night, I think we can give him an A+ for the kick. :spin2:

B*llox I'm afraid. I've done quite a bit of martial arts (oh, dear, I hate having to sound like Marcus!!), and that kick shows he has done martial arts. It is pretty difficult to effect that kick as high and as perfectly (and with the shape of the kick) as he does... :wink:

Yeah thats the one forgot her name when I was typing.:blush2: Certainly does look right in the air and he talks about stunts etc. so he probably has practiced it a lot.

Did you learn flying kicks when you did/do martial arts? I always thought they were a bit clumsy for anything other then show.

To end with a bit of useless information... did you know that Jean-Claude Van Damme is a trained ballet dancer?

Yeh, they are quite often used for show I would say, but if they connect can be devestating. Bruce Lee used them! I think the spin-kicks are often more a 'show' thing, but even these have been used in mixed martial arts for example. I'm not a top expert, like, but the kick is well executed imo. Also, I remember Cantona executing a similarly perfectly poised 'kung-fu' kick on a footbal hooligan who felt the full force of it!

Perhaps thinks Marcus is full of sh*t because he does talk some sh*t (e.g. 100 men thing etc.), but there's no denying that kick! haha:elephant:

Yup dance and martial arts are very very closely linked as they rely on good posture, breath control, co-ordination and balance.

My sister and I used to do shotokan karate as kids and she would manage to get double gradings (something quite hard to achieve) based partially I think on her ballet training.

Im not sure how your friend would come to those conclusions as I havnt really seen much to be able to tell but I think the fact he doesnt practice daily does say something.

Ack, what am I saying! It is Marcus he doesnt have to practice! Probably does push ups with his eyebrows when nobody is looking. :laugh:

Edit: And hay we guys always like to look as if we know how to be tough even if women beat us by being better at technique.

Yes, I honestly do believe that Karate and Wrestling are 2 different contact sports.

I like Marcus,I want him to win.
But that leap is enhanced by the fact he to a long run and was already higher than other housemates due to the decking.
He never got much height
