Profo Won from FLOOR GANGZ worldwide explains the three major footwork styles in bboying Text transcribe: koreanroc.com/?p=1405 filmed at OUTBREAK 7 KBE Daniel STRIFE.TV
@enzymesX Correct! You cannot learn this stuff from just anyone. Floor Gangz learned it by talking with our bboy pioneers and gaining knowledge. We are lucky the pioneers of our dance are still alive. Always travel to learn from others, and don't stay complacent. Each one, teach one.
The moment he said "Canada" and "threads" I instantly thought of Megas. This was a really fantastic video. Even though the dance is still relatively young, it's still important to try to record and account for the history, so I'm glad Strive.tv took the time to make this. Thanks to Strife.tv and thanks to Profo!
as a hungry student of the game this is exactly what i needed! I would be much more prone to watching bboy vids if they contained educational material like this! thanks strife!
Guidance yo!! Read the article a long time ago, happy to see it reiterated into video form. Big ups to Profo, and thanks for shouting out Gizmo, a Canadian legend.
i also expected something like a move or two in footwork, but i got much more, i got free knowledge and inspiration, mad RESPECT for profo won and strife tv for uploading :D
How to smoke Profo Won: Ask him to try and say perspectives. LOL. On a serious note though, most eye opening vid I've seen in a while. It was interesting to think about these styles and how they apply to myself and other bboys in my scene to see where peoples styles tended to lie. Much respect.
yo big thanks to strife and homie from floor gangz, my apologies i dont know you, but big thanks for droppin the knowledge and lettin the new Bboys grow.
As a bboy i would say that, when i started breakin' i just wanted to you know.. Break! But i became more interested in bboying though. I wanted to learn about history. Its very important to me. Thanks dude! I will spread this history to my friends and keep bboying living on
@ThePayDayRay word up, i understand... perhaps the level is not as distinguishable as other styles to make it known and named as a japanese style.. but yah good to know..
@strifetv I remember zeshen wrote something before saying learn one move you will have one way to move. learn one concept and you will have different ways to move or something like that
@Statykbboy Yes, because floorgangz is very close friends with mighty zulu kingz. If I'm not mistaken mzk has many oldschool/newgeneration bboys. Ness also shares his knowledge and experience with his crew.
@MrRyushinn how much more do you need in terms of city exposure? tdot is always known internationally...of course theres tons of dope crews out in tdot now, mind you it was different before when btx snc bbc etc when they were reppin hard, and different challenges to make themselves known. international battle and events back then are more prestige than it is presently. Now theres so many events that its a different challenge for newer kats to get themselves known...
@UAEbboy from what i hear, a lot of people don't approve too much of leg work in the traditional sense of footwork. lot of people will consider it footwork but since it isn't really composed of "steps" and more of sweeps and such, it won't count.
@bboylego826 Didn't mean to offend you by the question. Just asking since I've read up on wigglez being the first to make thread concepts and what not. Not trying take anything away from Supernatz.
strife you should make a hour long educational documentary. We all know you have the connections with the bboy world. ;)
that was really cool to learn about the right name about russian taps, there wouldn't have been any other way for me to have learned that
This was an amazing video. Mad ups for sharing this, strife and profo!

Mad knowledge. Props to Profo Won for sharing and Strife for documenting.

That's been my progression. I started with steps/hops, moved on to sweeps/spins, and now I'm incorporating thread chains.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge!! This was inspiring and expanded my thoughts on footwork! Now I will teach it to my class...
sisoi
The combination of the three styles is the best!
as a hungry student of the game this is exactly what i needed! I would be much more prone to watching bboy vids if they contained educational material like this! thanks strife!

i love it! thanks for take your time in this educational video.
i also expected something like a move or two in footwork, but i got much more, i got free knowledge and inspiration, mad RESPECT for profo won and strife tv for uploading :D

How to smoke Profo Won: Ask him to try and say perspectives.
LOL. On a serious note though, most eye opening vid I've seen in a while. It was interesting to think about these styles and how they apply to myself and other bboys in my scene to see where peoples styles tended to lie. Much respect.

@ThePayDayRay pls elaborate..
@The808swag Its true.
Yes repin th toronto style
@ALEXTESKI callus that could came from footwork, jackhammer, turtles, stuff like that.
@UAEbboy na i dont think he means that i think he means because the judges were old school and like traditional NY style steps
@UAEbboy from what i hear, a lot of people don't approve too much of leg work in the traditional sense of footwork. lot of people will consider it footwork but since it isn't really composed of "steps" and more of sweeps and such, it won't count.
yeye respect to canada style
Knowledge3 I do the first two
oh yeah, I really like the style-based bboying - specifically footworks/floorworks
I want to see some thai footwork

@bboylego826 Didn't mean to offend you by the question. Just asking since I've read up on wigglez being the first to make thread concepts and what not. Not trying take anything away from Supernatz.
