Okay first of all clown walkin aint the same as c walk ,
c walk is played out and just isnt a dance, and is juss gang related, dont c walk if u dont bang. then theres tha clown walk, clown walkin is a dance, just steps and steps you do with your feet. its pretty sick to watch and do. so basically its krumping and clownin. thats tha dance we all do now so get to know it

Actually KLOWN!

Get ur facts straight, howd I know krumping was gonna get thrown in there somewhere from the very beginning of that shit.

clown walking is DIRECTLY from crip walking, first of all, if u have seen anyone hardcore walk then u know how a lotof the steps are the same. The difference is that crippin u just do to rep ur set or who ur wit or some other shit, while clowning, u end up doing to the music n put it in ways that dont rep just strut ur shit.

Second...it has no relationship to krumping, other than the fact that those bastards stole something else n love the idea it has "clown" in the name so they can feel special

Since krumping is a fairly recent development, n walking has been around for a long time, go get ur history before u come knock something.

Clownin is DIRECTLY related to cripping, period...

Ur idea of cripping is probally those lil white boys who have no clue tryin to do it....

please...krumping, hahahahahaa

Its bad enough those lil wanna be krumpers steal everything they have, now they need to claim it as part of their lineage n not what it truly is...please....

Alright here we go. I love when people like to talk like they actually KNOW shit. Clown walking orginates from CWALKING. if you watch really nasty cats cwalking and clownwalking the steps are almost the exact same. Cwalking is gang related, but technically not everyone who is in a gang c-walks. It changes from gang to gang, go tell a blood or black gansta disciple he's cwalking. He'll hit you. They B-walk. It depends on the cru you are repping. Now clown walking, although it has a different name is almost the exact same thing except for some minor things. Firstly, in clown walking, you are not repping a set, so you do not need to spell out your set, your name or your city, second because it is not gang related you have more freedom of steps. Therefor, just because someone who is clown walking bust out more steps coming onto the floor, doesn't mean its any different then c walking. The cwalker has all those steps, they just use the ones they need to rep who and what they are. Anyone who says clown walking doesn't have roots in cwalking is just walking through the world a peon and is very ignorant. NEITHER walk has any relation to krumping. In fact, cwalking isn't a dance because real GANGSTAH"S do not dance. Think of it this way.... clown walking is the dancing version of cwalking.
Btw to the clown cat, if the c walk is played out you may want to stop clowning. All the steps are the same, and the movements have bases in things like the atl stomp and other types of dance. Cwalking, apparently in your world is nothing more then tiny steps, but any true walker knows that its kicks, stomps, hops, techs and many other things you do with your feet. I will put a cwalker agaisnt the best clown walker you know and I bet they will be doin almost the same thing. Specially if the cwalking isn't steppin to spell out who and wat he is.
Krumping is just a style of biters. All your style comes from cwalking, harlem shaking and other types of culture. I don't think their is one thing you krumpers do that is anything close to original. Your steps? all cwalking... your body movement? all shaking and popping and ritual dancing from africa... your dress and paint? hell even gangs have painted themselves like jokers and clowns before... can you really say you have anything original?

HaHa, N the smack down by Avalon.....

dude....krumping/clown walking is a west coast based non gang related dance. has nothing to do with the crip walk.

oh yea and where you talking about crip walking when you said clown walking, or did you mean clown dancing?

Avalon2000 · 10-24-2004, 10:26 PM

Actually when someone Clowns they are in fact doing CRIP WALKING. JUSt without gang affilation and shit. I know for a fact, and by the by, C walking was a west coast thing before it went national, so.... you can't be like oh clowning comes from the w. coast.

The aspects of those two things are almost the same thing as I pointed out under Anubis' name. If you don't believe me, take a nasty cwalker and someone who clowns and watch em. I bet it'll look the almost exact same,

Krumping or whatever is just a waste of time, its bitin too many styles of dance, and not mastering any of them. WEAK

Ok since those buttheads up there(please don't take any offence, it's jsut that he asked a question and it's not being answered) are busy arguing, I'll help ya.

*note* This dance is all in your hips

Start off standing up with your legs spred around shoulder length. Now, find some style to end up with your foot in front of your other foot making a straight line. Depending on which foot is in front (if you're right foot is in front, you go right, if your left foot is in front, you go left), you go left/right. Twist your foot in that direction, then twist the other way, twist back again, then switch, but use your hips. like I stated before, this is all in the hips. do all that over when you switch. As it gets cleaner, throw in your own style in there

Hey, Drrop hit me up and i'll help you learn all the walking you want

SouthPeaceCrew · 03-17-2005, 04:56 AM

you guys are all confusing me. but let me say something from my in-person perspective of clowning, c-walking, and krumping.

clowning- is when you hop onto your heel and toe and twist them in random directions. jtWo describes this well.

c-walking- is just moving your feet at different angles trying to spell out crip; the movements were abused though, so no one spells it out anymore and instead everyone just does movements like clowning. so c-walking and clowning should be ranked in the same category.

krumping- my all time favorite type of dance besides bboying. i take this one very seriously. krumping is basically the speed movements of the arms, shoulders and waist. there are a lot of different movements in krumping. but basically its pretty much just a bunch of taunts and shit. like krumping is pretty much putting your anger into movements. try to think of someone fist fighting another person and sticking up the middle finger right in the middle. lol thats a piece of what krumping is. so if you ever got into a krumping battle, make sure you know a TON of taunts. or else your just gonna be publically humiliated and laughed at by a bunch of clowns [paints, aka. the siick krumpers with face paint].

but dont get me wrong. krumping is very difficult to master. especially if you never get any cardio. its very fast and aggressive. i think someone said something about www.getkrump.com . yeah if you ever get around to buying that dvd/s. that should help you a lot. but if you dont live anywhere near the west coast, dont expect to be able to use those krumping skills you learned any time soon. so yeh. what ive said here is all from my own experience with clowning, cwalking and krumping. there are krump battles going on at every fucking party over here in cali. ive been in many battles, and someone always incorporates a different type of dance with another, so its always hard to keep up. very different then some places.. especially in so-cal, you'll see people blood walking into six steps. and krumping into toprocks.. unless you go to some wacked out party without pinoys, or black people. then its just gonna be wack. hah

[i expect some people to argue against me] -.-
