Tricking Show (Martial Arts)

As Germany’s first professional tricking show performance team, Hyperhook was founded in 2016 with the aim of putting tricking on the map and introducing it to the world.

The tricking crew’s performers, who have been active for over 10 years, have been a part of tricking since its origins in Germany and have heavily shaped the sport over the years. Each tricking performer from Hyperhook is among the national pioneers of tricking’s history and has formed the sport with his own skills and personality, which has helped spread tricking to the public as an art form of self-expression.

Tricking
Tricking originated in the USA nearly 20 years ago. Martial artists performed a sequence of movements for demonstration in their katas to the judges at tournaments. To steadily increase the point valuation over the years, the most diverse spins and jump kicks were incorporated, which increased the overall difficulty of the sequences. Over time more variations and combinations with a higher complexity were created and, in reference to the movements, this is where the term ‘tricking’ came from.
