[@purplepixi18]

I remember actually watching that event on TV.

[@maloni]

thta's nice to know...thank you for sharing!!

[@rockstarsanger7]

@hivelocity100 Because Martial arts is an art as well as dancing. They both are fluid and have beautiful movements

[@dubmywub]

thats ok, anytime!!

[@poopindaturd]

some Martial Arts where actually studied as dance when the Mongols controled territory for if they where to show up. converting strikes into dance moves. so Martial Arts is in a way a kind of dance

[@liger60408]

relax dude. I'm just stating my opinion and the reasons for it. As for the Bboy move, they bit that off from martial arts. But any knowledgable dancer would tell you that dancing has two parts. 1)Technique(moves) & 2)groove part(feeling to the music). Ideally, you want both, but you can still be considered dancing with #2 alone. However, #1 alone does not count as dancing. Lastly, if you know what they have been through, then you would know that itz only natural that they are that good.

[@Shane_Raw]

I think they count it as dance because it requires intense choreography

[@onewaytosavetheday]

They're doing what they Love to do. It doesn't have to make sense.

[@uzerofutube]

Shaolin martial arts is commercialized. The Shaolin monastary is a business company, the head of the Shaolin company is CEO Shi, Yong Xin.

[@pebblez_]

dam 3 years ago when all my fam is togetter

[@EckoStream]

Breakdance was inspired by African-American Dance... Shaolin Monk stuff only came around the 90s... Some breakdancer were probably copying some of there stuff in the 90s to now, but Breakdancing definitly was originaly inspired by Shaolin.

[@jorgeoroncoy1466]

GUUAAAUU!!!!

[@liger60408]

itz only "sick" because you don't know what they have been through. You will actually be sick (disgusted) when you learn that they probably have been training 10 hours a day since they were 4 years old. Unfortunately, there are tons of these kids in china (not only doing martial arts, but in gymnastics, weightlifting, etc.). These kids are only exceptional compared to 9/10 yr old north americans. If we can put our kids into the same training regiment as them, we would get the same product.

[@snowmanmagik]

National Geographic Dance Party Vol. 6?

[@maloni]

[@mihailopetrovic2740]

CHINA OWNED FACE GJ

[@AznSupaStar14]

This was a great show, but the judging shouldn't be done by opposing countries. There was another performance with the Shaolin Monks where everyone gave 9's or 10's, except for the US judge, where he gave them an 8 because he didn't want China beating US.

[@rockstarsanger7]

@michelle334 Dancing is an art

[@michelle334]

@rockstarsanger7 its a dancing show not an art show

[@lagoon710]

so dude just like the move in martial arts and stuff he 540 kick spin is known as a B-Boy move too. And also i know wut they been through.. I've been put through these kind of stuff when i was 3. so yu don't have to argue through out this whole video!!!!

[@dubmywub]

and there are poeple who are 6"3 and are also big

[@777vasil]

what was in 2:35

[@onewaytosavetheday]

... kay.

[@PrinceChris93]

LMFAO Chinese are smart they know Sh!t can get real, really quickly in these competions they Brought Monks!

[@34skydragon]

its more kung fu than danceing

[@Xtariz]

Actually this is a part of Breakdancing... Seen the History of breakdance?

[@nazariosam]

@hivelocity100 If I remember correctly there was a time when fighting and learning how to protect yourself through training was only available through the army and anyone found practicing was executed for treason or something of the sort. SO in order to train people to fight without looking like they were fighting they created a from of martial arts that looked like dancing so they lied and said they were dancing.. in order to survive. Then when the time came they kicked ass.. just like yours :)

[@enerumu]

@sickosandsuch something like dancing? wtf this is martial arts, shaolin, and it has many many fighting styles, and they do fight, what you see here and in the movies is just for demonstration, but it is a martial art

[@lagoon710]

like i said i know wut they been through im a b-boy myself and martial artiist too but yu also forgot a #3 3) yu need good rhythm and have to be in totally sync to be that good

[@WiTeBoi]

where's the dance?

[@liger60408]

um...no.. sorry but i would disagree. Is walking dancing? it's a movement of the body. Under your classification, it would be dancing. Is a person doing jumping jacks dancing? that's a movement of the body. I understand if you are open-minded and emphasizing one's own artistic expression but dance still has to involve rhythm, and that rhythm still has to be structured. That rhythm and motion should compliment each other and work as one. Rhythm and motion are NOT in unison in this vid.

[@Elthenar]

So, your saying it is more likely that a secluded group of ascetic monks copied from the guys who did "Breakin" than the other way around? I guess the fact that there are videos of these guys doing routines like this a good 40 years before breakdancing existed isn't going to change your mind. Tell ya what, go to China and start telling everyone that their monks bit off of off of the 80's breakdancers, see where that gets you.

[@MaryzAigredou]

WTF was that thing at 2:34?!

[@maloni]

l think these were the rejects from Shaolin Temple because they were more of Disco Queens then Monks.....lmfaoooo!! Just a joke now so don't get offended anyone, and if you do!! "GET OVER IT".......lol

[@dlsb13]

Is this called dance ?? This is Martial art . I don't see any dance steps at all. The judges wants excitement - so they prefer Kungfu and Belly shaking.

[@retardedkids707]

wat da hell is up wit 2:35

[@MechPhantom]

shaolin kung fu has soo much acrobatics like gymnatsic till its called a dance. Its lost its martial value

[@liger60408]

Only the ignorant would classify this as dance. Ask any wushu (that's the style of martial arts that they are doing) practictioner out there and the majority of them would tell you that they get pissed off each time someone says that what they are doing is a dance. All of my wushu aquaintances from around my city AND the world share this mentality. How can it be classified as a dance when the people doing this doesn't even classify it as a dance?

[@sleeplessnights7745]

why is this dance?

[@Boom2Pow]

i am chinese but does this even considered as dancing -_-?

[@maloni]

and you look like a coward.......lol. anyways thank you for the love and support.........bwuahahahaaaaa!!
