I see Eric Branch HX 99

See, I always wonder if this is the form that black Americans have when they brought over African stick fighting it matches stick licking in the Caribbean with spinning the cane but it focused more on the dancing side because most African martial arts had a dancing aspect and black Americans had to practice their martial arts and secrets and they often turn into dances. So I'm curious if this is the remnants of what the enslaved people did when they came over here and I'm comparing it to the other stick Arts of the African diaspora in the world

You could brother can i reach out to you?

But did he graduate????

He's still got it, he was teaching the young bros at the Kappa Kastle in Harlem last week.

This is still legendary a decade later. 🔥👌🏾

YESSIR 👌👌👌

This video was so awesome dude thank you for posting it

Sad....This nonsense in 2022. Knowing that fraternities and sororities stem from Masons who worshiped Satan. Christ is ALPHA and OMEGA anyway. I mean the real Christ and not the FAKE White man hanging on some people's wall.

Sik wit it bro.👌🏾

next to gawd.ly...

Ain gone lie you super cold!! OMG!!!!!

Tight

Damn

Bro no matter how many times I see this Jamez you are the coldest bro

This dude is ridiculously smooth with the Kane!!

GREAT TALENT, although this is NOT a "how 2" video as advertised. Call the video "Just showin off"

Ever consider installing an LED or 2 in your cane? Maybe near the base?

This was one of my favorites videos when I started watching KZbin. Now it pops up in my feed lol. 👌🏾

This was hott! This Is/Was what I reQall from y'all. Speaking as a True Bruh and a Brother to all The D9, I am Very impressed with this Nupe's skills. He would likely get what I've been screaming for years re: how far too many of our [D9's] newer members have strayed from the historical stand out, or Owt for My Frat, style of our different orgs. Now, many of our ladies step with very little distinction. Several of our guys mimic The Bruhs' swims/kicks/slides/even hops. And, almost No younger Nupes or Sigmas seem to know how to twirl their canes. The latter rarely even have them anymore. The former often carry them around their campuses but still have No klue how to use them. I'm Not here to bash. I love The D9!! I'm simply paying due respect to my fellow '11 D9 Brother and suggesting that we stress & teach our performance traditions to our newer members. Perhaps, they require this in order that they may return to the time when we took pride in stepping with precision, style, rhythm, and distinction. None of us, okay except maybe the Sigmas-sorry but it's true, blatantly patterned our style after any other org's signature stuff. I respected, enjoyed, and was motivated by that. Now, I miss it because it's missing. This Nupe Brother gets bizzzzzeeee 1x with his topnotch kanework and I salute him for it. I hope Mannnnnnny younger Nupes watch this video and maybe put a bit of a moratorium on all the shimmying. It's lazy, at least somewhat feminine, and Not on what Nupes once relied to get thru a show. Precise, smooth, stepping and kanework was! Please find your way back home, young Nupes. Also, everybody Stop being jackasses when making folks!! Pretty soon, None of our orgs will be able to afford our insurance and then None of us will have to worry about any of what I've written because we'll all be "historical" as in defunct due to civil and criminal litigation. I believe Strongly in ensuring that folks earn, Not buy, their way into our Family. However, I also believe that discretion starts with members Not with candidates who are put through a process which we control and which often leaves them unwell but then are told to behave/walk/look/be discreet. It seems that'd be a Much easier thing for them to do had they Not had to endure quite as much as they had the night before and the night before that and so on. Be smart, D9 Family. Or, be dismantled. That's about where we are now. Anyway, great display of ol'skool Nupedom and I appreciate this Brother sharing. And, with that all said, I'm Owt!! #♎💜💛Is💪!! RQQ to The S.O.B.A.T.!! And, peace and love to The D9.

too cute honey!!!

Whats up James hey man when are you guys gonna have a twirl off no vids expect for anniversary ..i hoped u guys were gonna be in atlanta picnic

AWESOME!!!!!

I now remember this from the Minneapolis, Minnesota Grand Conclave of 2009. Very impressive Cain work which is an art. The stroll is cool. However, keep this form of artwork in our craft and become a Kane master!!! A.Z., Spring 1988

I am not a Kappa (yet) ... but this the tutorial vide ever. this may be a dumb question. but is a walking cane different from a twirling cane?..

I've tried the bodywrap so many times, but I still can't do it.

NUPE YOU ARE FRESH!!

damn nupe!!!!!!! Ive seen only two bruhs on your level!!!!

The matrix... jeeeeeeeeezzzz that was dope man

In my best Obama voice, "We, The Young Gentlemen of Houston Texas, approve of this video!" No question, James Keith (among others) has inspired the next generation of Kane Masters. His freestyle moves seem effortless, which is why so many cane aficionados have mimiced them. Take a Bow and keep this artform alive! BigRandallJordan Houston Texas, Jones Gents, Fall86

The Legend of James Keith continues. Nasty, Just NASTY!!! "Cane Twirling is a skill to be mastered..." Meet a true KaneMaster...

I've watched step shows since 1988 when we first adopted Cane Twirling @ our high school probate show. After travelling to Prairie View's Homecoming to catch a glimpse of Yogi, journeying to the former U.S.L. Ragin Cajun steps show in 1991 to see D-Nice, trekking up to Huntsville to witness Dirty Red, and even viewing Skinny(Sigma Rhomeo - PVU) - don't hate the Rhomeos... This Kane Master is a true culmination of all styles aforementioned!!! James Keith, you've inspired the next generation!

"Cane Twirling is a skill to be mastered:" and this Nupe has the skill Mastered! Repping the Young Gentlemen of Houston Texas! a.k.a.Young Gents a.k.a. G Phi.

nigga did that

please check out my video help me out dude..

@468duke I can tell you're a lame, raised by other lames. You should probably worry about that instead of this video.

What's the name of this song?

Now that's what it is Phi Nu!!! Boy you one kold piece with that wood. Willie Dynamite Sp '03 Gamma Sigma Chapter Right on

I need to step up my kane twirling BADLY! lol Watching videos is one thing, but I need a brother to actually be with me to show me what I'm doing right/wrong.
