[@lancehobbs8012]

in all seriousness, these guys have obviously been influenced by modern break dancing. look at 0:13 , I mean this is a recent thing they weren't doing this kind of dancing (yes, dancing) even 30 years ago, it CERTAINLY isnt a traditional hand to hand combat system that we see depicted in this video

Hi Patrick. This is traditional shaolin kung fu, and I wouldn't say they have been influenced by break dance. If anything, the other way around. In the video you can see movement combination that are not combat systems, but are more "theatrical" - but traditional, none the less. This has evolved into a modern style of kungfu, often referred to as Wushu, that is even further from combat techniques, and even more theatrical.
