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!
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.
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 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 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 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..
@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.
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
@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
@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.
@Statykbboy Profo volunteered to share the knowledge he knows in his point of view. He does make perfect sense of what he is trying to show/explain. I'm guessing you're one of those types that must have everything perfect. Respect Profo for his knowledge if what he is saying doesn't suite you then watch another video. Besides, you understood exactly what he meant about the different styles "note, they did show different bboys you can check out that had that style". C'mon man no reason to hate.
@robnasty i aint hating on him at all. i actually love and respect the fact that Profo broke it down to how much he knows..he def did his research.. i basically commented the fact on someone says "he's from so so crew im sure he knows what hes talkin about" guess what go ask yourself is that the right way to base a knowledge just because he from this and that crew..ofcourse not! I have no doubt Profo did his research!!! Big ups to Profo..
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
@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.
Mad knowledge. Props to Profo Won for sharing and Strife for documenting.
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!
This was an amazing video. Mad ups for sharing this, strife and profo!
@strifetv i meet him before he really nice..really glad i can learn from him
The combination of the three styles is the best!
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.
yo strife man we realy need more vids wit knowledge like these if possible for those who cant reach pioneers
2:38
thats a real bboys hand
This is probably the best knowledge about bboying I've seen.
That's been my progression. I started with steps/hops, moved on to sweeps/spins, and now I'm incorporating thread chains.
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 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!
anything that expands bboy history is good knowledge. very informative video profo
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
FORGET MATH AND CHEMISTRY I'D HECKA RATHER LEARN THIS!
MORE OF THESE PLEASE, STRIFE!!!!
AWESOME
this is the true art of bboying
everyone should see this to know that bboying isn't a subculture or a sport... but a TRUE form of art
I feel blessed that I had someone teach me all this knowledge in person already. People really should go out and find someone to teach em
I expected profo to teach actual footwork steps, but this was much educational! Thanks for this.
yeah finally Canada gets some love! big ups to profo won for sharing his knowledge and passing on what he's learnt!
Man this guy knows his stuff!!! i gots some studying up to do, thanks Profo!!!

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.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge!! This was inspiring and expanded my thoughts on footwork! Now I will teach it to my class...

@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.

@Statykbboy Profo volunteered to share the knowledge he knows in his point of view. He does make perfect sense of what he is trying to show/explain. I'm guessing you're one of those types that must have everything perfect. Respect Profo for his knowledge if what he is saying doesn't suite you then watch another video.
