Running Man Basics

[@skeyboardi]

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.

[@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

[@jabbawockee131]

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

[@JoshuaXRamey]

This the real running man

[@davinatest8467]

This was the best tutorial that I have found and tried...thank you ...I don’t care how hold it is...it works

[@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?

[@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.

[@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

[@cynthiaalvarez5593]

I learned how to shuffle with this video August 2010 took me a month. Thank you stranger!

[@HarryJamesButler]

Anyone here in 2016??

[@dailyentertainment3450]

Lol

[@BigMilan]

+Harry James Butler I'm still here! :)

[@tex_doom]

+BigMilan 10 years later, still running

[@BigMilan]

:) far far away... but still here

[@HarryJamesButler]

+BigMilan did u basically make this

[@jigganator]

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

[@Diamant33]

Anyone in 2019?

[@Asdxv-r2f]

2024 here

[@workingclown]

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

[@TheUnixe]

holyyy fuckk this is old

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@RainyBlue7]

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

[@dickygear]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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. ^_^

[@ReppuRepa]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 :)

[@tools99]

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

[@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.

[@SupernaturalFTW94]

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

[@Ess3nc3_]

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

[@Hillfigger]

Maybe this is lame for those who are practised but those who need the practise is this video the best one (my opinion). At first i tried some of those basic steps - only few min. and i couldn't get fats enough. Then after a few weeks without practise (few days ago) i tried it again and i did the basic running man in fast movement after round 30sec. like it should looks like in the end. For me are those movements easy to learn. n1 Video Milan!

[@Risespunk]

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

[@kagymym]

@Hey13251 Doesn't really matter on what kind of shoes as long as your not wearing cleats or something built for traction. Most tennis shoes are good, vans and converses work, and pumas work too. I guess if you want major sliding with little resistance, you'll want things with vans+converses like bottoms. Its more of the surface you shuffle on rather then the shoes you shuffle in.

[@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!

[@DoinaUta]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@MrChewyboi]

@SGfromMS It's all on the foot work, once you get all the foot work mastered, you can speed up and it will look as if you are gliding/ sliding/ drifting. (Which ever term it is used)

[@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!

[@kagymym]

It's not actual shuffling but a core move that is used in conjunction with shuffling.

[@DatBoiAntix]

putting music over this vid makes it look really good.

[@Astonish_]

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

[@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!

[@lilacocean4137]

this video made such an impression i came back many years later to rewatch. i still can't do the running man though 😭

[@aldooffline]

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

[@Ess3nc3_]

Thankyou for explaining that the foot isnt sliding and that isnt hopping im finally making progress!! I was wondering why it looked so awkward!

[@SHOWTEKFANCLUB]

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

[@shirubiu]

i love that shuffling sound

[@Krobivnov]

@tanieyagurl101 yes, shuffling is a dance style. like rave, jerking, break dance, etc. running man is one of the basics of shuffling

[@Br0kenWarrior]

@filthyrugrat the running man is the only original part of shuffling they keep. i like how they put there own style and swagger in it, but the original stuff is what made the shuffle and we cant slip away from that. i saw a california person melbourne shuffling (not malaysia shuffling like cali likes 2 do) and he used the pindrop in it and it looked tight

[@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!

[@TheJesusCrysist]

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

[@Pwntus]

@TheBadVictory Lol, no. That's the running man. It's just one move or part of the dance called Melbourne Shuffle.

[@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 :)

[@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

[@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.

[@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!!!!

[@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 :)!

[@MsHardstyle4life]

it takes a while to learn but its worth it in the end i never knew how to dance but always had a love for the music look at my progress if u want a rough estiment i upload a vid every month or every half a nd a half

[@Omgisuckatd2]

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

[@ems4976]

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

[@TazzedoFranky]

@JillnRe That's just endurance. Over time you will go faster as you practice a lot more.

[@45tema]

you don't know how much you helped me

[@AEWarehous]

the sounds of you shuffling makes a nice beat

[@ErikaBardere]

woah I noticed immediately from you what I do wrong in the running man. A couple weeks ago I discovered that it was two hops (hah whoops) and tonight I realized that the reason why it looks like im doing it horribly wrong is because your legs are always straight (except for the slight hop) and mine weren't

[@JosiahFierce]

@nesquik602 Yes, this is the right way, 2 hops. No sliding. You can add more motion to lifting the leg up. But make sure your moving your knee up and not lifting your back leg up. It's both very simple and very complicated to do quickly lol. If you go too fast without the proper form people tend to skip one of the 2 hops (like me lol) which screws up everything lol.

[@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

[@KTVStudio]

it actually helps to just to react on every 2nd tap of a beat so it would be ca 70bpm

[@AceOfSpades1197]

@Dragontron20 If you glide, it makes it look more like your moving your foot back once, instead of twice. Hopping is also a lot easier than "gliding" imo :P

[@jigganator]

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

[@SnowUltra]

it doesnt matter what you do first. I start almost every shuffle with a running man

[@ShufflinForL1f3]

@Garbanian Look up Melbourne Shuffle Turtorial that should help some more it is taken off of the running man its just longer steps and instead of steps its more like stomps.

[@TheBob0429]

When he is actually dancing he is definetly dragging not "hopping". It looks better dragging anyway...

[@Domokun11111]

lol when i was younger i used to do this because it was fun lol i thought i had discovered something cool...turns out its an actual move leading up the the badass-ness of shuffling!!!!!! xDDD im so learning how to do this. :D nice vid!

[@Dissonance86]

That looks like sooo much fun!

[@Rexafrek]

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

[@timjholmes]

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

[@JosiahFierce]

@nesquik602 Should add there will be a little bit of sliding when your hopping as you can hear in the video he's scuffing his shoes as he picks up the pace. It's inevitable. But still, 2 little hops.

[@DianaArellano.]

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

[@Metalvidvid]

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

[@TheWingman8008]

this is a smooth melbourne shuffle!

[@dontgotosomalia]

ive heard it can take up to 3 months to become fluent at the shuffle

[@whereyousobbysobsob]

@ObamaLovesMexican There's a middle step although when you are doing it fast. you can see the shoe / leg is getting skippy why dragging. The skip happened when you stop and done the middle step.

[@HardstyleHurricane]

@0xVx0 I have been shuffling for bout 7 months now...It's been great !! It took me around 3 weeks to make it look ok but everyone learns it at a different pace :P Hey I practice it still everyday and it's not perfect :P

[@TNoideaT]

only Training. I thought the same and now it`s easy for me. U are going to make it !

[@JosiahFierce]

@nesquik602 lol sadly no. It's not a real running man without 2 hops and yeah it's very tiring. Trust me I know that feeling. I just figured out I was doing it wrong not too long ago. I practiced for a couple hours to relearn it the other day and my legs were dying. I had to take a break for a few days in my left leg didn't want to strain it too bad. If anything think of it as a workout. But later when I picked it up again the 2 hops feel natural and a whole lot easier. Just takes practice.

[@konnykontant]

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

[@jflo9992]

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

[@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.

[@nerdboyxx]

Alright I think I got it now :) I gotta practice though lol. Now I know, two hops omfg I was only doing one and dragging my back foot the entire way, it looked super bodgy. Now it should be cool thx bro :)

[@betolicious23]

It looks like your gliding cus when your at a party or w.e the lights make it look a billion times better and you do hop twice. you pick up the pace eventually it just comes to you just keep practicing

[@bigmig707]

dude that is so dope.....im gonna practice me some of that!!!!!!!

[@elloingo]

@DiverseLA the running man is part of shuffling

[@TheRickiestx]

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

[@Evallandercomingsoon]

@JillnRe there's a solution it's called practice and persistance

[@Bona_Music]

@NeonLugia I use rabens, there probs the best, but any shoe with a small amount of grip works great, if your shoes have to much grip on a surface just rub some skate wax on em XD

[@MrUssrparadox]

@esuomz you move your arms around in any way the shuffler likes i do belive.
