Andrew Ellis of Trial By Fire edited and premiered this sampler on Saturday, February 28, 2026. Film credits to Morgan Haymer, Zac Brannen, and members of the Atlanta Tricking community.

This body of work has been two years in the making and encapsulates the efforts of Atlanta-based martial arts tricker Andrew Ellis. Andrew's journey in the discipline as a whole began roughly four years ago, however the voyage leading him into tricking precedes even that. Nearly a decade ago Andrew met ATL Wrecking Crew member Patrick Chu at a community event where each was representing the business they were each affiliated with- Andrew, a tae kwon do studio and Pat, a ninja warrior gym. Andrew was mesmerized by Pats display of skill performing various swing chains. Little did Andrew realize the impact the encounter would hold in his personal identity until years down the line. The next stepping stone in Andrew's quest was solidly placed before him in 2022 in Greenville, South Carolina where he met Malik Shepherd at a parkour event. This is where Andrew discovered the community he had awaiting him back home. Malik was a marked athlete deserving of the accolades that preceded him; Malik too, served as a vessel of inspiration and directly catapulted Andrew's intrigue of the sport of tricking. Later in the year Andrew took up Malik's proposal to train alongside him at a notorious gym in Atlanta, and it was there that Andrew fostered his skills and adopted his identity as a tricker officially. Andrew's relationship with the community, and that gym, grew exponentially. He loved tricking and wanted to share his passion with others. Andrew began working for the facility and started a martial arts tricking program as well as hosted the Trial By Fire Tricking gatherings. Fate held that Andrew's manager would be none other than Tanner Hodge. Tanner became a mentor in Andrew's life offering invaluable knowledge ranging from work-place habits and tricking technique to health tips and relationship advice. Tanner is a wise man that shared his gifts readily. A fourth figure that Andrew looks up to and accredits his progression in the realm of tricking is Chris Schmidt, better known as Chris Nado. Chris has graciously opened his personal training arrangement to Andrew countless times and has pushed him to strive for more, always. Andrew considers Chris a coach, a comrade, and a friend. So, in summary Andrew would like to shout out Pat, Malik, Tanner, Chris, the Atlanta Tricking community, and the entire sport of martial arts tricking for the profound impact each has had on his life. We cannot wait to see where this adventure takes him next. Good luck Andrew! And thank you all for taking the time to watch this video!
