OLYMPIC COACH REACTS TO RAYGUN INCIDENT - COACH SAMBO

[@davidslee101]

Legit question - for all you people hating on Raygun, can you breakdance? She can do a swipe, she can do a coin drop. She can do a lot of moves that took me 9months or longer. I actually gave up on break dancing because I couldnt do a flare. I have a feeling anyone who has actually done some breakdance would totally agree with @coachSambo

I feel like you're greatly exaggerating the skill level of her routine. I also entirely disagree that we can't criticize an Olympic performance without being an Olympic breakdancer ourselves. It is a global competition in which the performance is judged and she was awarded zero points. It was an objectively poor performance by Olympic standards. Regardless of the scandalous allegations of manipulating her way into representing Australia, she still managed to secure an opportunity she was unqualified for via the path of least resistance. I don't find that a noble accomplishment, I see it more as narcissism.

[@Dermatend1]

Bro. We are talking about the Olympics. You should be outraged. You had one chance to showcase break dancing. And you let Raygun who isn’t anywhere close to the best B girl in Australia represent. Now all people are talking about is this and nothing about the other talent. You will not see break dancing in the Olympics again. You should be pissed, not defending her. Its understandable that people express themselves differently but not at the Olympics where it is meant to showcase the most polished people on the planet. Not to mention, if reports are true, her husband and her were in charge of the australian organization who ran the qualifiers. So she essentially put herself over all other representation that could have performed better and you would see highlights of the real talent that performed rather than this interpretive dance routine that got a 0 from judges and everyone else from around the world.

The IOC deferred the selection process to regional associations. I believe that Dance sport Australia is the main body which administers such criteria for other Australian dance disciplines ie. ballroom dancing. Apparently they had no capacity to administer a selection process so they in turn delegated the selection process to a Sydney based breakdancing club/group/association which is presided over first and foremost by RayGun’s husband, either used to coach her or still does and he also happened to sit the judging panel at the Oceania Breaks competition which was run to determine who would be selected to represent Australia. Needless to say, RayGun and her husband didn’t try parlaying their broader network into organising a thorough and exhaustive engagement with any and all accomplished break-dancers that might have what it takes to represent themselves and their country with genuine distinction. …. By the sound of it, they conducted a little quasi selection process which seems more like an exercise in justifying why RayGun was the clear, objective stand-out of the Aussie breaks scene for woman. I’ve seen chicks at raves, with no other motivation than zest for life bust out moves which would eviscerate RayGun by any objective measure. RayRay would know exactly how Stan Marsh felt after he got served at the youth centre. “Moves so original…. so…. *cough* inventive”.

The Olympics are for the best of the best-the cream of the crop in their sports. That's why Olympians are considered professionals. Saying that in order to appreciate soccer, for example, you must be a professional player isn't logical. I understand she did her PhD thesis on breakdancing, so she likely has a deep understanding of the sport. However, that doesn't mean she can translate that knowledge into physically performing it. So no, you don't need to be a breakdancer to recognize that overall, she isn't skilled at it, she probably cand do it much better than me ,still it doesn't mean that she does not suck at it BIG TIME

I’d be interested to see your thoughts on the final battle between Raygun and Holy Molly that had Raygun qualify over her.

As a non-breaker, having seen the others involved in the olympics, I think Holy Molly had a much better shot.

[@AussieFiggy]

Also, just on Raygun’s experience. The start of her training is uncertain, because the AOC who came to her defence said she’s been in the sport since 2008, and Raygun’s wiki page says she’s been doing it since the early 2010s. She started later, but she’s been doing it for at least 12 years, and I think Holy Molly was much more skilful, which is who Raygun beat UNANIMOUSLY.

[@joetowers4804]

Before learning breakdancing, Gunn practised jazz, tap, and ballroom dancing, and competed in the latter.[8] Her boyfriend, later husband, had been breakdancing for 10 years and encouraged her to try it.[2] She began breakdancing in the early 2010s, when she was in her mid-twenties.[3][4] Gunn paused competing while finishing her PhD, and returned to competitions in 2018.[4] She has been breakdancing for close to 14 years. She got a PhD in it, and you are saying she started late? In that case, only those who started as kids or teens should try breakdancing.

[@anthonywoo5614]

Length of time is irrelevant if the years were not spent dedicated to training and improving. I know bboys who started breaking for multiple decades but one practice a week for many months of many years can constitute to JACK SHIT. Muscle memory and experience doesn’t grow with that work ethic in any sport or discipline. Also jazz, tap, or ballet experience play little to ZERO help in the unique dance of bboy. Maybe a specific hiphop class schedule on top of years of gymnastics could assist people coming into it. Also starting in mid-twenties makes learning the technical aspects of freezes and power moves VERY difficult to introduce to compared to the founders of breaking who were literally teenage kids on the Bronx.

Breaking is performed by a decent proportion of First Nation (indigenous), and people of colour in Australia.

Raygun on the other hand lives in Hornsby, Sydney, where the median price for a house is $1.6 million AUD. Also, us taxpayers funded her free trip to Paris only to be laughed at. I’m not a breaker, but I think it should be in the Olympics because of the inclusivity - all you need is a bit of space - and the positive energy of the sport.

Also, everyone NOT in the hiphop or breaking scene needs to STOP saying "Bring in the real breakdAnCeRs like Jabbawockeez, Les Twinz, CHRIS BROWN..USHER....NYC SUBWAY STREET PERFORMERS!" LIKE WHAT?! First of all, no disrespect to ANY of these artists...BUT THIS IS A BREAKING COMPETITION. Jabbawockeez are insane as a crew with their innovative choreography and major success, and amazing individually, but they are getting swept because they aren't competitive breakers, sure there are a few of them who did break competitively like Kid Rainen, but he's Logisticx's mentor and team USA's coach, so obviously he won't be competing...LES TWINZ? They're HIPHOP, not breaking, two completely different styles. CHRIS BROWN AND USHER? Amazing performers, artists, singers, and dancers..but again NOT BREAKERS...NYC SUBWAY STREET PERFORMERS?! SURE they'll maybe last 1-2 rounds, but they're not lasting more than that, they're PERFORMERS, meaning they will practice the same couple moves to PERFORM, not to battle. People think that ANYONE that dances and do tricks are instantly breakers, no..they're just performers. Anyways, all in all, Raygun's catastrophe did bring a bit of light to the breaking scene by bringing in more views, regardless of it being positive or negative, because now there's more eyes on the breaking scene..and even IF breaking for some miraculous reason does not come back in 2032 (Brisbane), or any other future olympics, it's okay! Breaking and Hiphop has lived for over 4 decades without the Olympics and will still keep it pushing and evolving without the Olympics!

really love Logisticx girl, she sooo awesome with her smile ❤

[@KaioFalcrow]

I'm born in the late 60s and my uncle Bob was the first bboy ever! good video though! :D

[@CoachSambo]

1000's of them 🤣

[@akosinoobita3516]

These clowns are trying break in to our birthday party😂

[@jzola3937]

As an Australian, I am delighted that Raygun happened. The memes, the parodies, the intrigue. It's incredibly entertaining. The initial reaction might’ve been disheartening to Raygun, but when she returns to her university, she'll surely be met with applause and cheers. She'll be thankful in the long run and it'll only encourage her craft.

[@Kelly-k4j]

I love Ray Gun.

[@friendlykiwi384]

People are laughing all over the world. She has made a lot of people happy. There is a silver lining.

[@bluetech2809]

they're laughing at her not with her though

[@IslamicMuhammadIsPedophile]

She will be cheered and applaused because they see her as a clown.

[@catwrangler7907]

Your delusional. But I hope her mental health is ok.

[@wasuchermsook3058]

I think like that, after sawing her move, what she did is breaking. She may have strange move but if watch many of her performance, she knows a lot of basic moves and can create many variations of them. Her level maybe low compared to her opponent but what she did, is breaking without doubt.

[@SurprisedGeoCave-zl5zr]

I like what Raygun did, she made breakdance mainstream

[@simonschakfarlot953]

Why wasnt there a Continental battle in South America.

[@CoachSambo]

Pan American qualifiers.

[@eat.food.not.friends]

I noticed that. Not a single bad word from the breaking community. They all just said "That is just her style...." But come on, we all can see it in their faces. They all thought "How did she get to the Olympics?" And apparently she and her husband managed to not to make a big deal about it, so not many B girls showed up for the qualification. And then he was on the jury, and the two of them probably have influence in the dance scene, which is why she was able to win every battle and qualify for the Olympics. Well I would say they didn't play fair, now she gets what she deserves. But seems like Raygun doesn't think so positively of the breaking community!? Otherwise her team leader wouldn't have told on the press conference, that she had such a hard time as a woman in breaking. The picture that Raygun publicly paints of the breaking scene is less positive. It makes it look completely different than you described in the video. And her doctoral thesis is obviously also about breaking, misogyny and so on.

[@CoachSambo]

We know what it's like not to be accepted for doing what we love.

[@lon9056]

Do you know why you don't understand anything? Because in order for a federated athlete to participate in the Olympic Games, he has to pay a fee every month if he wants to add points to the ranking. If he wants to get a permit to hold an event he has to be federated, if he wants bureaucratic help to get the government to pay for a trip to a qualifier, he has to be federated. If he wants to train in official gyms, he has to be federated.

[@Orb-w3aver]

You’re assuming a lot

[@rickard.eriksson]

Yeah her take on male breakdancers, is really whacked, but she is a quack professor with a phd in gender studies.

[@rickard.eriksson]

@@Orb-w3averWell no, just read her thesis.

[@demgutts]

Nah son! That sh!t was trash. You should listen to those in the comments telling you th!t they've been I it since the 80's. Boogie down born and raised

"So much outrage towards a break related topic." - Sambo It is a jungle. 🌴😂🌴

[@CoachSambo]

You bet

[@eleannakritikaki4811]

... But these clips starting from 0.50 is what we should be seeing in the Olympics. Not Raygun's performance. I doubt we have to have inside knowledge to figure this out.

[@samon_kurowassan]

It's simple, if you see a boxer in the Olympics who doesn't know how to punch wouldn't you be concerned how he qualified? The French paid for the Olympics with their tax, at least they have the right to be concerned. People paid for PPVs and she's a joke, we have thw right to complain. 1+1 is not = 4, you don't need to be a mathematician to know that, the same way that we don't need to be a BBoy Pro like you to know that she is awful. A mathematician saying 1+1=4 doesn't make it right, the same way as a BBoy Pro like you saying she knows how to dance and deserves to be in there doesn't make it right.

[@lizalohan01]

Without knowing all this jargon ... She looked rediculous, in an event with the worlds elete athletes.

[@TheBoskiJohny]

Great video! Appreciate you explaining things from bboy's perspective, must be tough having to argue with all the random people on the internet who suddenly have "opinions". It's a bit triggering listening to so many incompetent people speaking negatively about breaking the past few days, but I'm sure breakdancing and the culture in the end will be fine.

[@joypang5458]

You’re triggered??? Hahaha incompetent? Nobody has claimed to be better than her! You’re speaking like this inclusive mediocre culture. It is people like you who makes up this culture that promotes mediocre and shoves it at our faces. Get real. You’re being brainwashed

[@EpyongndmMusic]

If you take it logically, Olympics --> Redbull Bc one. Even if breakdancing has nothing to do with the olympics, id imagine you train to get to an elite level given the fact the the whole world is going to watch you, period.

[@bluedragontoybash2463]

This video aged well

[@adam5038]

1:53 Good point

[@lilth501]

Not one bloody mention about breakdancer Jeff “J Attack" who also represented Australia. Even his old school Classic moves weren't even enough for him to get a point. Cut this fake shit shame BS OUT.....!

[@mrweasel]

Good stuff

[@divyanshisingh4116]

Well said❤🙌🏻

[@alexojideagu]

It's about her stealing a place from a better Australian girl. I don't care if she's "Loved" by the community. Nobody is saying she can't do it as a hobby or for fun, we don't care. However this is the Olympics, the best in your country, not a social club or a participation trophy. If she was 100% the best female in Australia, she'd get far more sympathy and love for doing her best.

[@stuartwalker6786]

Bigger question is: How much are YOU being paid to justify this? It's not about showing respect!, it's about being honest about the level of her performance and it didn't belong in the Olympics! That wasn't THE BEST B-Girl in Australia!, the qualification process was as flawed (probably more so) than her so-called performance! She shouldn't be vilified, but at least there has to be the honest and obvious recognition that the optics of this were never going to look good and as a so called 'academic' she should have had the self awareness to see how her choice in clothing and routine would be perceived! I'm sure she could have put together a better routine without the 'artistic experimentation' and she would have just been another performer, drawing further attention to yourself when your skill, fitness and technical level is already in a different orbit isn't smart!

[@StacyCool-br8qc]

true, but she did not want to be just another performer, that’s why 😂 Her choice of clothes was wrong no doubt

[@Deo721]

Bro what you talkin bout? 2:39 Jimmy Fallon was doing her exact same moves on his Tonight show. He did it exactly like her too 🙃🙃🤣🤣 also 1:42 of course we see people being creative at lower levels competing at Jams like Freestyle Sessions. They get better by working their way up the latter. Yes it's nothing shocking too us.. But that's great for a Jam event. Not at the Olympics where Breakers are trying to prove to people it belongs in the Olympics as a sport. We got to get respect. We can't have any beginner levels on the biggest stage in front of the world. Especially on its debut in the early stages. Save it for a Jam. Now it will be much harder for Breaking to get back into the Olympics becuz of the negative feedback. It's like trying to start a small business. You can't have people that's at a mediocre skill level as the main starters of a business. Becuz the business will fail. You need high Level skilled people to represent the business the right way for it to become successful.

[@Gerardo-k9d]

olympics are four years behind today's fast pace dance revolution. 🙃

[@keshiki27]

It's funny how your last video has the highest engagement, and also the most polarizing opinions 🤣(I have a plug-in to view dislike counts so I know)

[@roberthipolito1351]

When I saw it, it felt embarrassing and frustrating. She had a couple of legit powermoves that everyone is ignoring, but I felt it wasn't Olympic level. I used to be a huge fan of breakdancing, and even tried learning. The farthest i ever got was a headstand slide and 2 flares before collapsing. I'm aware she has real skill, more than what the folks mocking her imagine. All that being said, her skills weren't up to par. Maybe Oceania doesn't have that many bgirls? Could it be her age? Did she not prepare? I just hope breaking makes a comeback into the mainstream, along with parkour.
