Running Man Basics

Recorded this months ago with Miki and Misha; at the same time as the melbourne shuffle. I was lasy for ages, but here it is finaly, all edited and whatever. It's shorted than the shuffle because there's no switching or anything - just continuous "running".
I know a lot of you are eager to learn the running man, but I have a special place in my heart for the shuffle :D which is why I put that vid up first.
Well, enjoy and practice lots and lots!

[@Kimbino]

I remember when I first saw this vid. I thought it was freaking impossible to learn. But I kept trying day after day, week after week. And now... I can shuffle and my friends want to learn to but they do not have the patience like I did. To all who are trying to learn shuffle. It might seem impossible to learn. That's what I thought. but it's not. I know it's easy for me to say. but just keep trying! Good luck all shufflers!

[@miamclove5148]

with this video i learnd shuffling 8 years ago!!!!thanks

[@LeeyoShuffle]

Legend taught me how to shuffle more than a decade ago. I can still hear your shoes when I think of your tutorials lmao. Now I'm sharing it with friends.

[@jabbawockee131]

i remember watching this six years ago, this taught me how to shuffle. the nostalgia is real

[@JoshuaXRamey]

This the real running man

[@gabriela.ts_]

I remember 8 years ago when I started to shuffle, I learned with BigMalan :D Good times

[@BigMilan]

Gabriel Sartori wow look at that - this video just went over 4 million recently :) thanx for watching hehe ...i've been out there shuffling for about 12 years now... wow... what an epic side quest!

[@rossboylan3162]

***** Could I just ask, what are the most common injuries you get?

[@miker1642]

+BigMilan just watched your video for the first time today. So far I've gotten the movement down but not the speed. Any tips?

[@workingclown]

You created music with your feet. You could tell it was perfectly in time to whatever song you had blasting in your head.

[@jigganator]

Dude, this is really good. You cut to the chase, focused on the fundamentals and let us loose. Bravo!

[@varunsaproo4120]

I can't believe i just did it in my first try thanku so much brother.

[@BigMilan]

+Varun Saproo :) excellent! now practice lots to make it second nature! :D

[@Diamant33]

Anyone in 2019?

[@user-kj3gn5hu8o]

[@cynthiaalvarez5593]

[@davinatest8467]

[@HarryJamesButler]

[@HarryJamesButler]

[@TheUnixe]

holyyy fuckk this is old

[@ReppuRepa]

These videos help so much, even though they are hard to learn. Thanks.

[@IknowJo3]

Learned from your videos! I have to say I have gotten a lot better :) It just takes practice. Start slowly and build it! I ain't a pro at shuffling, but I do know the basics pretty well because of your videos such as the (running man and t-step shuffle and switching) I'm going to keep practing to get better :D

[@Arkssa]

Thanks for the introduction. Mastering and practicing this dance is very good for my health and really keeps me in shape. Not to mention I have a blast while doing it!

[@TheGeneralleasy]

Wow... i learned doing the running man with this video the time it was uploaded... didn't know it's been so long :o you helped me a lot :D

[@shirubiu]

i love that shuffling sound

[@Risespunk]

I swear back in the day I learned how to shuffle thanks to this guy right here!

[@ControlAltDelight]

wow its so cool to come back to this video 2 years later and see that i've reached his level....at some point, you cant surpass someone. everyone has their own style. their own version. its frustrating at first but do NOT give up and practice practice practice. before you know it, it'll be second nature. THANK YOU SO MUCH @BIGMILAN! Shuffling has changed my life, easy.

[@SHOWTEKFANCLUB]

thank you ^^ your all shuffle vids help me in shuffling ;D

[@DoinaUta]

Thank you really much for these tutorials, I'm starting to learn to shuffle because of these vids.

[@Astonish_]

Your videos are perfect for those that wants to learn, thank you very much for subbing them!

[@meishalaurafionax]

im learning, i picked the basic steps up within an hour, and now its developing into a run and tbh, just think of something to help you remember the steps and its good doing it to an upbeat song, it looks and feels amazing! im gonna learn the hardcore shuffle too, altogether i think its great!

[@45tema]

you don't know how much you helped me

[@tools99]

love it so glad there was no music as the shuffle noise made it even better :P

[@VE5MC]

Thank you so much for posting this video of THE RUNNING MAN dance, I have wondered what it was called and how to do it for a long time...now I just need lots of practice and I will be the envy of many on the dance floor.

[@meganj7139212]

I like your video the most becuase other people put music to it so you never hear what their feet are actually doing. When there isnt any music you can actually hear the two hops. Thanks! Now i feel like i can actually get somewhere. ^_^

[@Dissonance86]

That looks like sooo much fun!

[@jflo9992]

Dude uv helped me learn the basics to a lot, thank you

[@dickygear]

love this..every time i see this dance, it makes me smile...i think this should be taught in school..made compulsory...

[@technomage6736]

Haha! Very nice; love it! I like the cha-cha sound too. It really helps me get a rythm going right off the bat. Cheers!

[@Khazar01]

Like most of the dances today, shuffling is just a collection of various dance moves (that's why it's called like that, it shuffles different moves together), running man is one of those moves.

[@aldooffline]

I watched your videos every day for weeks until I got it right haha. Thanks

[@Retrodesperado]

Lol this videos is why I am able to shuffle today. 5 years later, I must admit I am very good. I've even taught people to shuffle and to think I once was watching a shuffling tutorial vid =D

[@Kimbino]

I remember me training to this video day in and day out.. Today I'm just as good as Milan. Big respect to you milan who made it possible that I'm shuffling today!

[@DatBoiAntix]

putting music over this vid makes it look really good.

[@AEWarehous]

the sounds of you shuffling makes a nice beat

[@SupernaturalFTW94]

for everyone saying he sucks: look at the title! its the basics! this actually helped me out reallyg ood. thanks for the vid

[@Metalvidvid]

i love the crush sound at the "fast" running man :D

[@ems4976]

Just the fact that there is a video for this is hilarious X-D

[@sageman4u]

just keep workin at it. i've been trying about 4 days a week for like 10-20 minutes for about 3 weeks now and i've been able to speed it up quite a bit. it really does just take time.

[@mikelo0000]

THANKS so much for posting ! (Brazil)

[@Cailette7530]

This was really helpful. I am still terrible at doing it but with a little practice, I am sure i will improve. Thanks for putting this up!

[@steve2708]

How you made my day with your reply,I really laughed 10/10.

[@TheJesusCrysist]

nice tutorial thanks for actually explaining everything as you go and showing it at different speeds :)

[@ThAnIaROxZ17]

this video really did help me in learning how to shuffle !!! it's awesome must watch if you're trying to learn! :))

[@CommunistSpyware]

yes i would pay for you to teach me. Finally somebody who made a good explaination. THank you

[@vicenziano]

Man, thanks so much, i could understand how to do this, you show how to do it very clearly on the movie, I started 2 hours ago, and so I'm just a noob yet, but man, you're great :)

[@YourFrienjamin]

For over a decade I thought we were supposed to slide it backward. HOPPING it baclward makes sense! At least three positives are: save energy and soles, and most importantly - less resistance, making the backward glide more fast & seamless.

[@monicaolivas6]

That's sickkkk. Keepin it fresh.

[@MOFP]

thanks dude that changed my life !

[@NoNameJerkz]

Thanksss! Were doing the running man in our dance class so we can do it at the pep rally and I just wanted to make sure I have it right!

[@Omgisuckatd2]

this video is sick and i learned it in 1 day i can't get it to looks as smooth as you though

[@sexykakashi536]

ok so im doing this but when i lift my knee i mess up and do it partually and i go on a my toes ,it almost looks like im doing the can can. is there a way to stop that?

[@timjholmes]

That's awesome, going to practice for a few years now :D

[@J0n0tanII]

Man I started watching then jumped up out of my chair and had it in about 5 mins! Great vid! I recommend if you're sitting in your chair right now, do the foot work while sitting then incorporate the hop. Also, it's easier if you alternate your weight a little to the foot on the ground :)

[@jigganator]

Freaking finally! I knew there was some kind of double tap. Many thanks :)

[@claudiusxp]

IM back to watching this again. been 6 years since :DD

[@TheWingman8008]

this is a smooth melbourne shuffle!

[@Deadpool035]

Superb. Thanks for the tips

[@nicko2444]

thnx man!! this video helped. wanted to be able to shuffle for ages! but had no clue how i watched this video and walla i can shuffle:p

[@map2001luvskitties]

OMG he was awesome!!!!!!! with a little practice i'll have this down! thx 4 doing it in steps instead of just showing it to us.really helped!!!!

[@Kimbino]

Thank you... My running man is getting better.

[@DianaArellano.]

I remember seeing this video when this gentleman post it lol dam 9 years has pass

[@xxAwsumDuoxx]

that was real helpful thanx but when ur doin ur lil kicks in the air whats the other foot on the ground doing? Can't really see cuz the bois at skool do it and it looks hell kool thats y i wanted 2 start learning shuffling and i know the running man is one of the basic moves!! But thanx :)

[@racheybaby99]

This didn't really take me that long to learn and do, but when I do it it's sloppy. So I'll work on making it neater. But so far I guess I could say that I'm doing pretty good! Thanks for the video it really helped!

[@MrUssrparadox]

what kind of shoes for shufflers are good for a starter pumas?

[@xChriz503]

when ur practicing u hop.. but when u go fast, do u still do a little hop or does the sliding come naturally as u pick up speed?

[@Jebzey]

any1 got any tips on speeding up the running man? i can get it slow and medium speed ok but if i cant get it goin fast enough for my music thanks

[@eliasenlol]

Seriously thx man :) i've been shuffling for like a week now, and my T step works fine still abit slow. but my running man, i can do it like VERY slow, and when i try set the speed up im failing. But im gonna work hard on it :) Thx man :)!

[@AlvinSpitoon]

The OG shuffling

[@GeMallieerde]

Hey mate I already knew these movies before I met you in real life in Melbourne in some kind of hardstyle club! Nice man. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Amsterdam!

[@Suesskrautkuchen]

maybe its a dumb question but i'm tryin this for 3 days now. I can make it faster as at the beginning, but i have always the opinion that my movement is not "flowing". I'm goin right up and down. left 2 times a hop back and all the way around. I always try to make it like in the video and can't find a difference in my efforts. Will it just come with practise or is there a trick? >.

[@ferialsouhail]

superrrrr amazing man!!! ur steps are easy to learn thanks ^_^

[@DanielPryorr]

Excellent video dude!

[@iselamosqueda1919]

Love it!!!!

[@vitaeva]

very good video, thank you!!

[@rustyoneone]

believe it or not when i was a little kid i taught myself this one without ever having seen it before then i grew up and totally forgot it. one day i saw one of the ravers at my HS dancing like that, and i was like; HEY that's my dance! i thought that up years ago! well... i didn't actually say that but i did yell it in my head real loud hmm... i'm going in the back and practice it right now! thx

[@thatdinho]

could u also do the running man the other way, u know sliding ur back foot to the middle n lifting up the front one to the middle?? or is it just one way, to slide ur front foot to the middle n ur back foot lift it up to the middle??

[@Rexafrek]

with your steps, LMFAO ran out of words, you are amazing, and I learned fast

[@56shout]

Hey so I have a question. I have been trying to do the running man for awhile now and everyone I ask says it looks like I'm jumping too much. How do I fix that and how long did it take u to get the running man looking smooth?

[@Ess3nc3_]

Thankyou for explaining that the foot is hopping and not sliding!! Im finally making progress!!!!

[@MrSikira12]

Excellent man

[@rowancerberus]

This is so helpful!

[@XXXbmansterXXX]

Bigmilan, hello, i am a new shuffler as of today, my friend is my insperation, hes been doing it for 4 months now, and he started from learning from you, so i have a question for you, when i do the running man in slow mo, it looks like yours but when i speed it up, it looks and feels like one step instead of 2, any advice???

[@0ceani]

How long does it take to start being able to like move from side to side while doing the running man? I can't even do it well standing in place :( Also, I have a video of me doing the running man, I've only been practicing for a few days but if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong because I can't really know for sure, but there is something really wrong..thanks!

[@konnykontant]

Ahh, the running man. Brings me back to the late 80's early 90's. Good times xD

[@mp3nd4]

when i do this i always feel like if i am only doing one slide instead of two on faster beats is it suppose to feel like that?

[@kokodjam]

can i do it with only one slide instead of 2 or this is the original way to do it pls tell me

[@hypersonic1337]

this is the one move i cant seem to get down, im decent at shuffling and sliding but i always feel like im doing the running man wrong. anyone have any tips. i get the motions but to me it feels stiff and i get tired real fast

[@FireUnderTheBridge]

Just tried it now, best thing to do is to not look at your feet to see if your doing it right because it puts you off balance. Keep your upper body in the same place. You'll be able to feel if you're doing it right!

[@alexanderbander1]

does it matter if you slide or hop with your feets?

[@Rekku102]

When I try to do the running man that fast, it turns into one slide, what am i doing wrong? well, when i do it to a beat

[@cantrememberusername]

then nothing else I have to drag the foot to do it? No jumping or anything?

[@ClassicWavetrooper]

when you pick up speed..is it still 2 steps? it seems when getting fast i cant get my leg to hop back twice,it rather slides once =\

[@spiderobert]

what brands make good shuffling shoes?

[@SpiritHawk7]

That was really cool! :)

[@TheMuffman07]

@FoolyCL yes, you just have to keep practicing, for me it took ages to finally get my running man to be fast enough for hardstyle songs.
