Lion Dance Championship 2010 (*Accident), Malacca

[ELuTionisT]

Humpback Lion... Tail fail, didn't lift high enough...

[sigmax07]

if u want to learn lion dance. choose a part; head or tail

head - hard training at the beginning but quite easy when the time goes on

tail - easy in first but very hard when your already doing that..

[evilbat100]

do lion dancers have to know kung fu like all the old kung fu movies show the martial arts schools doing the lion dances, or is it its own thing

[JorJorArmany]

tail really need to practice more, go watch kun seng keng's tail... see how low ppl stand...

[wt599313]

Trying hard and sporting spectators!

[dosleemy]

geez....all u guys here are giving comments.especially this paul86.i bet u dun even hv 10% of his talent n guts

:)

im more worried bout the kid

[insyirah11]

Is the boy okay? it's so unfortunate.

[marcialim]

even if the tail guy hangs on, can see the both of them swinging forward. if he continues to hold on, the both of them would fall face first and land on their necks.

[niceyougood]

failer im a lion dancer too

[kennfong]

The tail man looked inexperienced and tentative. His landings seemed to miss slightly, and he was not very sure-handed all along. Everyone has to learn. It is unfortunate that someone got hurt and this accident happened in front of an audience. My grandfather taught me about lions 50 years ago. In the old days, you would never see the faces. They would march down the street and at the street corners another man would wait. The head guy would shoot the head up and the relief guy steps under.

Hey you know what? Your the best camera man/girl ever! u caught everything

[heartlessforever951]

Tat was a bad tail... i think the problem is that the tail didnt go down enough n didnt hold on to the guy.. becuz the head was slipping and he just let him fall

[iPiez]

Pause at 7:57 looks like the tail let go

Also i think the tail needs more pratice... If the head falls, you hold on tight no matter how much it hurts you or him. Better than one of you two falling. Good luck nxt yr

[Chematofit]

Why it is called lion dance... more of a dragon to me.

[rhun86]

[Ottoraver]

@christine6998

So true, the tail has to be strong to support the head, the performance of the lion and the safety of the head is in the tail's hands

[Doctorscientist1998]

Anyway i hope that kid is alrite specially how old is he?

[rhun86]

i think he is just around form 3~4...

[Doctorscientist1998]

[rhun86]

[shaunkoh]

[acheungwhitecrane]

the competition is in a mall? that's cool, except the people getting hurt part.

[howkemon6559]

The lion is very beautiful. The performance was great except the unfortunate fell down. Wish them all the best in future competition.

[rhun86]

Corrections:

*that kid* was hospitalized.. i wasn't part of their team... somehow i am just an audience only... i also wish that kid have a speedy recovery...

[showlink]

[Lai829]

[zhenchao1224]

this team is MCA Taman Desa from Kluang,Johor

[rhun86]

thx for the info!!! now i know...

[LaZyDaNni3]

amazing performance

[Joecrack253]

eventhough he fell on the mat, why is it still painful? I am just askin, I am a kid..........

[liondancerulez]

because he might of hit the pole plus the mat is only about 5 to 10 cm thick and the force of the fall will go through the mat

[rhun86]

yeap...the momentum from the fall is somehow... great. luckily he was not heavy...
