Martial Arts Tricking, known simply as "tricking", is a training discipline that combines martial arts kicks with flips and twists from gymnastics as well as many dance moves and styles from breakdancing. Unlike many other sports, tricking has no formal rules or regulations and participants are free to perform any kind of dramatic maneuver and call it a "trick" - though there are certain moves which are widely accepted as tricking moves.
Founded in January 2016, Tide Tricking is a performance and entertainment team dedicated to showcasing the exciting sport of tricking. Through dynamic performances and demonstrations, we aim to entertain audiences while encouraging people to be active, move their bodies, and embrace healthy lifestyles. We are passionate about spreading tricking throughout the community and highlighting how it can be both entertaining to watch and beneficial for physical and personal development.
With members of all ages and nationalities, Tide Tricking encourages a strong team mentality and strives to promote creative, active, and healthy movement throughout the community.
Since its formation, Tide Tricking has performed at various events, including the 2016 Cayman Islands Annual Agriculture Show, the 2016 Cayman Islands Fashion Week, the 2016 and 2017 NORCECA Volleyball Championships, and annually during both Pirates Week and Cayman Carnival (Batabano).
