SIDESWIPE (Extreme Acrobatic Martial Arts Group) 

Based in L.A., USA

Five-time martial arts world champion Matthew Mullins, (www.matthewmullins.com) initially created Sideswipe for team form demonstrations at karate tournaments, and later, corporate industrial shows. 

With the use of martial arts fight choreography in mainstream action-adventure films at an all-time high, martial arts choreography has become the main attraction. As Sideswipe’s lead choreographer, Mullins combines traditional forms with intense athleticism in each performance. “Sideswipe is a collaboration of today’s greatest young martial artists,” said Mullins. “Each performer incorporates their passion for the art into the creative process, adding his unique attributes to each production.” 

Based in Los Angeles, CA, Sideswipe has been entertaining audiences across the country over the last five years, performing
on television, stage, at sporting events, live action shows and karate tournaments. Noteworthy television appearances include
“America’s Got Talent,” “Final Fu,” “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “The Steve Harvey Show,” ESPN2’s “Cold Pizza,” “The Wayne
Brady Show,” and the Jerry Lewis Labor Day MDA Telethon 2004.

Sideswipe has also performed during half time at the NBA’s
Chicago Bulls and Dallas Mavericks games, and created live action shows for Casio Electronics, Diesel Clothing, ,Fedex, Intel, Nike, the 10th Annual American Choreography Awards, and for Des Arts Martiaux in Bercy, France, among others.
