As I've said before my school has a BBoy/BGirl club, we have about 10 or so members, but as of late we had a member named George or "BBoy Snacks" as he calls himself(because he sells snack foods and drinks at school) well anyways we have alot of devoted members, but George doent want to learn foundation, me and my friend Terrance keep telling him to learn at least cross Step or 6 Step but he ignores it and only works on a one armed handstand, and we keep telling him in a battle he'll get wasted if he only does one move, but weeks go by and he still ignores what we said, and soon enough we had one of our monthly school battles( me, Terrance, Coach) vs (Snacks, skin flute, and jake) and soon enough george went out there and froze, we had a good amount of students watching us, and he went out there did a weird looking C-walk? and did a half assed 6 step(he was pretty much just running around in a squat position messing up the footwork, and did his one armed handstand, so I went out there and did some top, some downrock and mocked him by doing his one armed handstand and did a one armed handspring out of it, soon enough after the battle i thought he would have understood how he needed more than one move and yet he still works on that one move weeks after the battle. So I dont know what to do with him, were not gonna kick him out because we need all the support we can get, he films our stuff usually and ect. but i want him to become a better bboy.

whew if he's really dumb like that you're probaply not going to get anywhere with him. People like that shouldn't be called bboy's, they should be called breakdancers.

Just have another battle, just get better and he'll see he SUCKS
Or you can just tell him he SUCKS..
Or even kick him out, why have someone just for the support?!
It's about quality, not quantity

[Anubis2002]

Why is it there always seems to be a million of these threads that pop out knocking someone for not being a bboy, or doing something wrong when if u understood any of the actual concepts urself ud first, shut the fuck up, second, get offline n stop talking shit about someone to other people who dont care, and third, maybe learn something about the culture that people like you are killing more than other people...

reminds me of someone yellin poser n pointing fingers.....u look and sound stupid.

First....

This is a form of expression and a dance, you learn WHAT YOU WANT TO LEARN AND WHEN U WANT TO LEARN IT! This is individual expression, some people may NEVER battle, some people dont care to. Some people learn a few moves n stop dancing, some keep going and learn all they can. Who are u to judge him n tell him hes not a bboy or hes less of a bboy because he cant or wont do something? Thats a joke.....missing a few concepts about the culture there.

Second....

Your coming online to people who dont know you, dont care about the situation and ur talking shit about someone who isnt hear to defend themselves and doing it in a way u have the "superior" highground, well im sorry but you dont. If you understood anything about this artform ud understand u dont NEED a 6 step if u dont want it, u dont NEED airflares if u dont want them. Some people learn it all, some people learn just a few things....who are u to decide what they need and when to be real? Who are u to decide that they are any less real because they wont be in it longer than a year or past a few moves learned. Theres something in here for everyone but not everyone has it to stick with it, no shame, no problem....only people who talk shit are the ones needing to boost themselves up n point fingers...."aw shit look at the poser do the worm" lol its dumb statments like this and the thread u started that are causing a lot of problems. People seem to be occupied on what is needed, what they have someone else doesnt n that makes them better in any regards. If you were a better bboy u would not be coming on here to talk shit, ud understand that hes doing what HE WANTS, which is the point of ANY form of expression.

Third...

Who are you to judge the skill he has? I could just as easily look down at u and call u a poser or a wanna be or some other stupid name claiming u dont know anything and laughing at what u attempt to do. People learn differently, and people learn at different paces....I wouldnt talk shit about someone learning unless u can back that up against all comers, which u cant.

Fourth...

Kick him out? For what? Do you have any idea how big of a bitch u sound like even for mentioning the idea like ud have a right or a reason to kick him out?

hes doing what he wants, either he'll get more interested or he wont, u being a lil bitch about it and if u act this way to him well ur frankly lucky hes sticking around at all. why dont u focus on the floor in front of u and stop focusing on the other dancers off the side. work on ur own shit before u tell someone to work on theirs.




Some of u people dont understand simple concepts yet u always run ur mouth about people trying to look high and mighty.....it doesnt work because the simple act of what ur doing shows u lack a basic understanding of the culture and the dance since ur using it as an attack that cant be used if u knew what the hell u were talking about.

[BbOyJeOpArDy]

really tho, it is his own fault for not going for six-steps and other foundation
he should watch real bboy battles and stuff, bboy jams....
eventually he'll learn. or not. but it's his fault. it shouldnt affect you too much. should it? well, if there's like a crew battle and he's with you, try to keep the floor to yourself and let him go in only once or twice before things get repetitive

[fukaihoton]

Now before I make this judgement I need to know - does your club serve as a crew or is it just a club where people come to bboy?

Assuming it serves as a crew:
It sounds like Kip-up King has tried to suggest his crew member learn more stuff for the sake of his crew. As an individual bboy he can practice whatever he wants to and nobody has the right to look down on him for that, but as a bboy in a crew he doesn't sound like he's being a team player.

I mean, if you have a soccer team and everyone is practicing drills about defense, offense, and strategies and you have one member who only practiced kicking the ball as far as he could, in the long run he wouldn't be very useful would he?

Assuming its just a fun club:
Just leave him be, he'll either quit, keep doing what he's doing, or learn foundation. Whatever he does shouldn't have an affect on you if it doesn't directly concern you or the club. You never know, he might be the next Cico if he keeps on practicing those 1 handers.

Before I say anything:

Anubis! (lol)

Your coming online to people who dont know you, dont care about the situation

Man, just a quick two. I really respect ya and all but you need to shape somethings up. You's judgin all of us out here as well, please don't be sayin' that cuz I really do care and enjoy helpin fellow cats out, remember that the Movement is about peace and love a'ight?
Also, in that whole big mighty post of yours, I didn't see a single thing on helpin' the cat out. Sure, you's tellin' him what not to do but where's that land him? Exactly where he first started, again, don't focus on the bad homie, the world's made of that, look up for us instead of always showin us how down we really is.
(it would help if you wasn't so ragin too =P)


Anwyays, back to the thread: IMHO, you just gotta keep it real man, I respect you tryin' to give the dude more in Dance but remember that he got his style too. Since by your discription the dude did some wack stuff out there I suggest that you talk to him from a different angle. Ask him about his style and stuff, don't be all, "you gotta/have to know and perfect this, this and that.. blah blah" but (at least in your thoughts and heart) "Your style is cool, but you could improve in these parts, you could try doin' somethin' new as well, and ... blah blah" Ya know? not exactly like that but just the idea of it.

Anyways, that's your humble post of the day!

[killatay]

Anubis, y r u bein so negative towards him??? personaly i respect this thread. i think u should keep having battles wit him and keep embarrassin him until he learns thats hes never going to win. make sure its a one on one battle so it can be a lot of rounds. if he still dont change then just let him do wat he wanna do.

thats my 2 cents!

[Sleep]

Just let him be, if he doesn't eventually find out he should other stuff, he'll probably just stop breakin and it won't be a problem. Its just a school club, you're not a teacher or something. If hes gonna focus on one thing, whatever, let him.

bboy snacks, man thats terrible haha.

[Markos]

Anubis, there IS a difference between a bboy and a breakdancer. I don't feel like arguing with you since that's a waste of time, I just made my point.

Or are you calling all gymnastics bboys too because they can do one minute handstand? LMAO

Something else, I've been part of software development groups, and if there are people on the team that don't follow the team's direction, things WILL get f*cked up. I guess you're not a teamworker then nor ever work in a team at all.

[T-Stunna]

I agree with most of your points, I just want the guy to suceed, Every other member in the "club" acts like were a crew because their that devoted, we all have a website now for the club(lol) but anyways, i tried talking 2 snacks on MSN yesterday and i sent him some vids on how to topock and ect. and he said "thanks" so I dont now what hes gonna do from there, but most members think of me as a teacher actually, i by no means am that great but i always have something to offer about the bboy culture, no one else in the club knew what a bboy was until i joined and helped, ha they even made me president of the club(lol)

[Anubis2002]

LoL for everyone saying theres a difference, ur missing a vital portion of anything to do with this dance and EXPRESSION.....you do what u want, no one tells u what u NEED no one tells u what u SHOULD do....

should he have more? of course if he wants to go anywhere, but this is a form of expression, he does what he wants and how he wants it. No one is going to change that....someone go tell cico he aint a bboy because hes 99% power, someone go tell paranoid android he aint a bboy because hes abstract...lol

u guys make some funny points and some funny judgments considering half of u dont get the concept. The reason this thread is stupid, is if that is a club, than no one has a right to tell someone else what they need or have to have, this isnt about NEEDING anything, its not about HAVING anything, its DOING what you WANT to do for the expression or feelings u have for it. Nothing more.

He may never go onto be a world class bboy, he may never go on after highschool or even after this year. Who are u to judge him? Your no one to him and if ur letting someone elses form of expression bug u than u dont understand shit about the dance.


***********N to bboy Rash

Most people dont care about a situation like this, the way I meant it is most people dont care to have someone come online and bitch about how someone else isnt a bboy, or someone else sucks or how they roasted them but didnt get it.

I'm sure plenty of us care about him understanding the concepts, or the idea that the other kid can do what he wants.

The main focus of my high and mighty post is to let the kid do what he wants, its not effecting anyone badly or shouldnt be if they have any clue.

The other kid will be interested or he wont, pushing him wont help, attacking him wont help, neither will coming on here to complain about a kid who just wants to have fun and do what he wants.

So are you saying this is a dance with no boundaries? That so long as you are expressing yourself, you are bboying?
