bboying is a dance and also part of a culture bboying is a form of self expression and honestly this is a bad depiction of both because theyre doing the exact same thing bboying is more than just power moves it has flavor and your own soul in it while gymnastics is down to exact routines and done with practicly no emotion or sotory told
@RioDangerous no but morgan hamm has put air flare into gymnastics recently (theres a vid on net dude) AIr flare first done in the early 80's but multiple air flares was started by bboy pablo (RIP) soul control.....it's all on youtube
@MrNero101 Flares came from gymnastics.......but air flare(s) was invented by bboys - (air flare first invented in b-boying 1983/4) also a flare is totally different from a flare it's more like a halo (if u know what that is?) Morgan hamm took air flare from breakers and put it in gymnastics (theres a vid on net) fair trade.
@SexyGuy947 i mean so does ski jumping..? Bboying is done to music and is a form of dance. Gymnastics is not- you can't tell me that high bar or parallel bars are remotely similar to breakdancing. You can't just look at two skills in the floor exercise and compare them to crazy power moves in breakdancing.
@SurfdaMountn000 First of all I wasnt talking about Parallel bars..... I was talking about floor, and pummel horse, and yes they are SIMILAR, not the same, they different, but the way the body moves is similar, they share a couple moves, and btw WTF?? lol Ski jumping.. ok I dont think you understood what I was saying, Both BreakDancing and Gymnastics are done with ONLY your body nothing else, no balls or skates or anything just you moving your body beautiful and amazing ways, I do both love both
@SexyGuy947 I mean first of all in gymnastics you use grips and various types of equipment its not just on the ground like bboying or tricking. I understand what you're saying but i still disagree that you can compare them. Floor primarily deals with tumbling rather than non-acrobatic skills and pommel horse is more like magyars and savados and moors not just flares. I do both too and I just don't think they are very much alike at all
@SurfdaMountn000 Dude whatever we see things differently, thats what makes the world interesting right, if everyone saw everything the same way the world would suck, yes I understand what you are saying though, your just going more into detail than I am, Im saying they both have flips, I think Gymnastics, Tricking, some martial arts, Freerunning, BreakDancing, and Cheerleading are alike in some way or another, im sure you dont agree but I dont really care, Tricking is my Fav, LOVE TRICKING,later
but moves in bboying dont exist in gymnastics. theymayhave derived from it but the transitions and nuiqueness some bboys have put in addition to flares and airflares rbgins about a whole different quality to the moves not founded in gymanstics #justsaying
ok just because one can do power that doesnt mean they are the best lol wtf is this dumbshit posting comments about niggas like cico the best is this fag even know anything about bboying and why the fuck would u compare it to gymnastics,, ITS A FUCKING DANCE
both are difficult in their own ways. i believe bboying is more difficult because of the limitless combinations, transitions and moves. for example, all the gymnasts do the same thing. yet if you look at bboying.. theres more difficult moves and transitions. can a gymnast perform jackhammers to airflare? or perhaps airflare, 1.5 into airchair to airflare? one handed elbow airtracks? yes, it is difficult to keep clean but not as close to just the pure difficulty of bboy moves.
@charulzify Your last statement is just screaming "hey look, I'm ignorant, go flame me."
Breaking is not even close to being based from Gymnastics, and you're such an ignorant person to believe that.
As you can clearly see, the bboys in this video have perfect form whilst doing much more difficult moves. Not to mention those bboys aren't even the best powerheads.
The only things bboys took from gymnastics is flare and some flips.
@rebound2003 LoL How can you say Bboys "only" breakdance. That's like saying Gymnasts only do gymnastics. There are many elements to Bboying. Try to know a bit more about the subject.
@disaznboii19148 Yes your right there are many different elements to breakdancing, although if your going to look at it that way there are hundreds of different elements spread out through 6 different pieces of equipment in gymnastics.
@rebound2003 Well the only way that can be true, is if you look at every single move. And there are just as much Bboy "moves" (power, toprocks/etc) as there are gymnastic moves if you put it that way.
Like jackhammer and Airflare and windmill. Those can technically be classified as different if you put it that way.
most gymnasts would make good bboys. korea and japan are known for their gymnasts and a lot of these guys are going into bboying which is why they seem to be dominating the bboy scene. They do lots of power moves, but only a few of them can really dance.

@InfiniteStyleCrew I didn't want to say gymnastic has higher level; I love and respect both of them. The reason I wrote my first message was that it's ridiculous to compare bboying and gymnastic, it's two different sports: bboy only train on floor whereas gymnasts works on 6 apparatus and get more technical training, and they haven't the same objective. But I'm sure bboying came from gymnastic, wich is so older.
So don't think I tell gym is better than bboyin, it's totally wrong!
gymnastics no creativity maybe once upon a time they created moves, and as for how clean there moves maybe how many years must go by before a double back flip or so is not considered clean before you move on its been years the same moves have been performed by diff gymnasts... every moment that passes bboys out there are creating different ways of movement and you see something different each year that passes with bboys also its not even considered to be on an international level..respect 2 both
@frockesh true but honestly, it isn't impossible for a gymnast to grasp good dance skills within a year or two, where it would be impossible for a bboy to get even half decent routines for the pommel horse, high bar, rings, parallel bars and vault within a year or two. Not hating on bboys but gymnastics is such a broad sport, i don't like to see it shrunk down.
yeah.. but how many bboys can do an iron cross followed by handstand on rings followed by planche, front lever, back lever etc etc. just my opinion i see bboys borrow from gymnastics but with sloppy form e.g bent elbows, body not aligned etc etc
Gymnasts spend too much time training strength and flexibility and other things, and they wait till a teacher teaches them the moves.... Not to mention they are very limited in floor exercise. They lose much time, while bboys spend time trying new moves and learning techniques from videos and people. That's a big difference. Strength and Flexibility is very helpful, but if you have technique... You can do it.
bboying power is much more diverse and has alot more developed skills such as one handed airflare airflare 1.5 elbow airflare whereas gymnastics power revolves around the basics flare circle 1080russians and airflare(morgan hamm).
I think its funny that people think that this is all bboying is when really bboying is a dance and even if people cant do flare or airflare, they can still be a dope ass bboy.
funny how gymnasts has been around for much longer then bboys, but still bboys manages to do better flares and finding better techniques for it, i think the reason is the gymnast they all is beeing teached the same tech. by all trainers worldwide, its like a recipy that goes around and they stick to the same flares, same goes for airflares & 90s
@jiiiigsaw Flares are only a small part of gymnastics that most dont even need to do. Basically every bboy does flares so obviously the more you practice with them the better you will do them. Besides gymnasts focus on making flares as clean as possible im sure they can make them look however they wanted.
Lol cool... hating on the gymnasts just for that bboy pride...?
Just look. The form/technique of most bboys' flares is hardly anything compared to the form/technique of the gymnasts' flares. They (gymnasts' flares) are so effin clean.
I'd have to say that gymnasts generally have better flares than bboys.
Btw, I'm not a gymnast. I'm (trying to become) a bboy. I just try not to be biased or blinded by pride.
@CJoMin actually the gymnastic flares are less clean.. Their legs are fully straight yes but look at 0:58 they are not smooth, and their feet get so close to the ground, looks like it touches the ground even, and they make it look harder to do. When bboys do flares its smooth and looks easy. Thats the mark of a better flare. peace
@CJoMin for the flares well I never tried pointed toes.. so ill try it and ill get back to you on that haha. But im pretty sur I can still do it cleaner with pointed toes. I can upload a video if you want it could be funny. But momentum yeah it doesnt cancel gravity, it manipulates it. It was just an over the top expression hehe
@CJoMin yeah lol most people care more about not being wrong than actually being right. Makes conversations really hard to have on youtube. Props to you too
@MrMente322 i replied that lilou is not the best check out in youtube bboy punisher or nazim or cico or the end or demon and you will see ,frankly they are the best ,see also bboy junior his very strong ,but to be best does not mean that you should have great muscles
@bboysistou i know man but i try to say that lilou is one of the best and he have none muscle , yeah i wrong lilou is not the best for me the best is bboy alien ness XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD ;D (i just joke about this) ;D
@MrMente322 LOLLLL at alien ness. But yo the reason why they dont need muscles is because momentum cancels gravity. The more momentum you have, the less your muscles have to work
@bboysistou so ur saying bboying is about power...... sorry man but it takes much more than power. the only bboys u listed were power heads but no stylist.
@bboysistou what you mean to say is different style of bboys not the best. there is no one best bboy nor one best gymnist...but there can be a well rounded best bboy or a well rounded gymnist..as for cico demon the end they are the best of powermovers
@bboysistou LOL youre only interested in Breakdancers, not true Bboys. All Breakdancers like Cico do is straight up power, just to impress the crowd. They don't dance to the music, like how Lilou does. Wanna see an amazing bboy? Search up Bboy Cloud.
both look like gymnasts to me. just because you can air flare doesn't make you a bboy. don't get me wrong i love all the power moves, load of respect to punisher, cico, etc.. i just like dancing more and dancing is what the dance is about no???
BBOYS WINS !!! Quem discordar que veja com os próprios olhos e conclue. Bboy sempre está em evolução,Ginasta segue regras e estão parado no tempo, quem é bboy sabe o que estou querendo dizer. Quem dizer que bboy não tem a força de um ginasta é mentira !!! Força (Strength) : watch?v=iYNFK8lQegI&feature=related Power Move,Guinho (Brazil): watch?v=h0nQSOhDW-k Flexibilidade (Flexibility): watch?v=-JWlkKFR6Ls E Ginasta não tem tricks e combos como os bboys né. BBOYS WINS!!!
i think bboy powermoves r better, just bcuz they have a much wider variety of power. however gymnastics is cleaner, but at the same times itst like 2 clean...
Bboy and gymnast have partially different skills: a gymnast can't do whitout training an headspin, a 1990's, an airflare; such as a bboy can't do a double flip or a double or triple twist.
At R-16 a couple years back one of the tsunami allstar b-boys did double twists from round off as well I believe. Don't remember a triple twist, but double twists from baby rox/mills are getting very common as well ( Flying Buddha / Luigi / Just do it / Spee D ) to name a few. I'd like to see some gymnasts rocking triple twists on hardwood :D
Gymnasts and B-boys are both humans capable of delving into each others field.
IMO, Gymnasts is athlelte (sorry cant spell), B-boying is dance. Gymnast's airflares and flares are always look same, (it has to be flexible, point toe, has to very clean; no offence btw), but bboy's airflares and flares are more creative and it does not really fit with gymnasts. because it's called dance. I think gymnast is more like, strength, accurate, flexible, athlete but bboying is more like musicality, creation, style, expression and passion.
the only reason I like bboys better (besides the fact that I am one) is because in gymnastics the majority of what happens is just a series of moves and you chain em. Putting in different moves in certain orders to make it difficult, while this is the same in bboying, you can do variations. Ever seen elbow airflares, one hand airflares, chair flares, or king flares from a gymnast? No they do flares and airtracks. To them it's all about combinations, to bboys it's all about being unique.
if they would, i'm sure gymnast could do all the stuff BBoy can do, they have technical, flexibility and streng (surely more than BBoy). But break moves are not in the code of points, so they didn't show. And don't forget gymnast routines on 6 apparatus... I know personnaly a gymnast, who've succed a break moves he's never tried before in 20 min whereas a BBoy tried that since years... BBoy and gymnasts don't make the same stuff, but both are great. each have proper and different style
@sae05z powermove is not a dance ,it's linked to the dance but only powermoves are not dance it's recqueire a great condition and stamina and agility don't confuse footwork is a dance
@bboysistou show me a clip where a guy uses music in their floor routine. And I don't mean a gymnastics show. I mean actual competition. I used to compete in gymnastics and we never used music in competition for the floor routine.
@KalaXionE haha in 20 min are you crazy,it means that yoy havn't tried powermove morgan hamm(tp gymnats) tale 2 years to learn one skill (airflare) ,powermove is very hard and let gymnasts to train and attain the level of bboy punisher , bboy nazim or bboy demon
A b-boys Airflare which you see one of the Hamm brothers doing in this video as a gymnast took him 2 years to master, some b-boys attain this faster although not very often. A gymnast with fairly easy flare-handstands will still take a long time to master this complex b-boying skill. Unless you were talking about "succeeding" a simple "break move" like knee drop. It is like me sayin, b-boys can learn gymnastics moves in 20 minutes (forward rolls) :P
@InfiniteStyleCrew As I said, gymnasts work on 6 apparatus, bboys does only floor exercises.. Hamm work 2 years to master his flares, but in the same times he's worked a lot of others skills, on floor and on the 5 other apparatus, not the bboys. The skill my friend succeeded was a dome ("coupole" in french, I don't know if it's called the same in english, flare+ rolling down+ up to flare again), and BBoys were there and said it was perfect.. but I agree Bdance is so great, don't think opposite.
@InfiniteStyleCrew You can learn forward rolls in 2min.. the move I'm talking about is a difficult move, that need much more than 20min to learn, I don't know how many exactly, but maybe few monks at less.; My friend try it 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, and didn't need more tries.. I know a lot of BBoys that come in my gym to get lessons from my coach for their flares or some strength training
I think your original comment is silly, as a b-boy I have gained a lot of skills in Gymnastics, gymnasts can do the same in b-boying. To say Gymnastics has a higher level than B-boying is silly. Either can push the limits, have you ever seen a quad twist from vault? No, have you ever seen a triple twist from airflare to rocks? No, both have new horizons that are unexplored and you don't decide how b-boys train, many do very intensive training regiments like gymnasts.
the legs on gymnasts are so straight, it looks very clean- but somehow bboying looks when its not so perfect and has a bit of flavour. for example a flare for a bboy the legs are slightyly coked and feet arent pointed- for a gymnast theyre so straight and no expression. i think both can learn from each other- obviously bboying has borrowed greatly from gymnastics- but i think gymnasts can learn too from bboying and implement some moves into their routines- which are a bit rigid and boring.

gymnast has handstands.. flips backflips double backflips.. backtucks.. flares airflares ..that's about it or more.. but BBOYING? they have air flares? but its the same so lets not count that so .. elbow air flares that counts.. windmills, 2000 spin, 1990 spin , elbowspin, halos, headspin, airchair spins, crickets, handglides , turtles , buddhas, chairflares(hong 10) and more.. i didnt even count footwork..
you havn't understand what i mean,i mean that there a category of bboys used only powermoves they are called powerheads it's not realy bboy because he does only powermoves ,this bboys in this videos are powerheads
GYMNAST HAVE PERFECT FORMS o.o but bboy have more to it then just flares and airflare in their transition ahah well ima not gonna vote since ima bboy =p to bias
Def gotta give this one to the bboys, though gymnasts are clean and technical, bboys can incorporate their own style into it, way more fun than watching static moves with no flavor. But I guess gymnasts do surpass bboys in alot of fields, just not power
The gymnasts are pretty limited in the amount of time they can put into learning stuff like airflairs... that's why morgan's been the only elite level gymnast to do it. Wish he could have done it at the olympics. It would have probably made it more popular. I feel bad it won't get named after him after all his effort.
bleh never heard of any i learned flares in my own basement i got flexible in my own basement i learned alot of stuff on my own that i didnt need to be for a gymnast
@vixinvi well yeah, i'm not saying I do gymnastics too... I learned my flares by myself as well. But all i was saying is that it's weird how he's comparing them. Cuz every1 knows that powermoves surpass what the gymnasts do now. Beside, the gymnasts like in this vid, do the same exact thing over and over.
Its an entirely different sport. Even though they both perform tricks with the human body. Gymnastics consists of performing moves with control and perfection, that is why they don't really do airflares, also floor routine is not the only compition they compete in there is definately atleast 8 more events i'm guessing. Also i'm a bboy so i am not being biased at all
well they have too i heard gymnast have too do a very clean amount of flares before focuseing on anything else... well actually they have too do a clean amount of flares and flips.. for they're routine
bboying is a dance and also part of a culture bboying is a form of self expression and honestly this is a bad depiction of both because theyre doing the exact same thing bboying is more than just power moves it has flavor and your own soul in it while gymnastics is down to exact routines and done with practicly no emotion or sotory told

funny how gymnasts has been around for much longer then bboys, but still bboys manages to do better flares and finding better techniques for it, i think the reason is the gymnast they all is beeing teached the same tech. by all trainers worldwide, its like a recipy that goes around and they stick to the same flares, same goes for airflares & 90s

Bboying is about Style and Gymnastics is about clean moves.
FkYouBish 1 year ago
@jiiiigsaw Flares are only a small part of gymnastics that most dont even need to do. Basically every bboy does flares so obviously the more you practice with them the better you will do them. Besides gymnasts focus on making flares as clean as possible im sure they can make them look however they wanted.

Lol cool... hating on the gymnasts just for that bboy pride...?
Just look. The form/technique of most bboys' flares is hardly anything compared to the form/technique of the gymnasts' flares. They (gymnasts' flares) are so effin clean.
I'd have to say that gymnasts generally have better flares than bboys.
Btw, I'm not a gymnast. I'm (trying to become) a bboy. I just try not to be biased or blinded by pride.
CJoMin 1 year ago
@CJoMin actually the gymnastic flares are less clean.. Their legs are fully straight yes but look at 0:58 they are not smooth, and their feet get so close to the ground, looks like it touches the ground even, and they make it look harder to do. When bboys do flares its smooth and looks easy. Thats the mark of a better flare. peace
FloMonKish 1 year ago
@FloMonKish Isn't that b/c they point their toes? It's more difficult to flare when you're constantly pointing your toes.
CJoMin 1 year ago
@CJoMin for the flares well I never tried pointed toes.. so ill try it and ill get back to you on that haha. But im pretty sur I can still do it cleaner with pointed toes. I can upload a video if you want it could be funny. But momentum yeah it doesnt cancel gravity, it manipulates it. It was just an over the top expression hehe
FloMonKish 1 year ago
@FloMonKish Lol nah it's cool. You made a good point anyways.
Well it doesn't necessarly manipulate it either. Momentum just lets your counter the force of gravity.
Wow, we're actually having a talk on YOUTUBE where neither of us are raging/flaming each other. Props man.

@CJoMin Well then that depends on what the person's opinion of "clean" is.
The more physically appealing and less mess ups, the cleaner it is and I definitely think Bboy flares look way better. by a long shot.

@bboysistou LOL youre only interested in Breakdancers, not true Bboys. All Breakdancers like Cico do is straight up power, just to impress the crowd. They don't dance to the music, like how Lilou does. Wanna see an amazing bboy? Search up Bboy Cloud.

both look like gymnasts to me. just because you can air flare doesn't make you a bboy. don't get me wrong i love all the power moves, load of respect to punisher, cico, etc.. i just like dancing more and dancing is what the dance is about no???

Bboy and gymnast have partially different skills: a gymnast can't do whitout training an headspin, a 1990's, an airflare; such as a bboy can't do a double flip or a double or triple twist.

@diobagascio
B-boy Gravity - Double backward flip on hardwood.
At R-16 a couple years back one of the tsunami allstar b-boys did double twists from round off as well I believe. Don't remember a triple twist, but double twists from baby rox/mills are getting very common as well ( Flying Buddha / Luigi / Just do it / Spee D ) to name a few. I'd like to see some gymnasts rocking triple twists on hardwood :D
Gymnasts and B-boys are both humans capable of delving into each others field.
InfiniteStyleCrew 1 year ago
IMO, Gymnasts is athlelte (sorry cant spell), B-boying is dance. Gymnast's airflares and flares are always look same, (it has to be flexible, point toe, has to very clean; no offence btw), but bboy's airflares and flares are more creative and it does not really fit with gymnasts. because it's called dance. I think gymnast is more like, strength, accurate, flexible, athlete but bboying is more like musicality, creation, style, expression and passion.
sae05z 1 year ago
the only reason I like bboys better (besides the fact that I am one) is because in gymnastics the majority of what happens is just a series of moves and you chain em. Putting in different moves in certain orders to make it difficult, while this is the same in bboying, you can do variations. Ever seen elbow airflares, one hand airflares, chair flares, or king flares from a gymnast? No they do flares and airtracks. To them it's all about combinations, to bboys it's all about being unique.
KnowIdeaxPoppinCRS 1 year ago
if they would, i'm sure gymnast could do all the stuff BBoy can do, they have technical, flexibility and streng (surely more than BBoy). But break moves are not in the code of points, so they didn't show. And don't forget gymnast routines on 6 apparatus... I know personnaly a gymnast, who've succed a break moves he's never tried before in 20 min whereas a BBoy tried that since years... BBoy and gymnasts don't make the same stuff, but both are great. each have proper and different style

You are very ill-informed.
A b-boys Airflare which you see one of the Hamm brothers doing in this video as a gymnast took him 2 years to master, some b-boys attain this faster although not very often. A gymnast with fairly easy flare-handstands will still take a long time to master this complex b-boying skill. Unless you were talking about "succeeding" a simple "break move" like knee drop. It is like me sayin, b-boys can learn gymnastics moves in 20 minutes (forward rolls) :P
InfiniteStyleCrew 1 year ago
@InfiniteStyleCrew As I said, gymnasts work on 6 apparatus, bboys does only floor exercises.. Hamm work 2 years to master his flares, but in the same times he's worked a lot of others skills, on floor and on the 5 other apparatus, not the bboys. The skill my friend succeeded was a dome ("coupole" in french, I don't know if it's called the same in english, flare+ rolling down+ up to flare again), and BBoys were there and said it was perfect.. but I agree Bdance is so great, don't think opposite.
KalaXionE 1 year ago
@InfiniteStyleCrew You can learn forward rolls in 2min.. the move I'm talking about is a difficult move, that need much more than 20min to learn, I don't know how many exactly, but maybe few monks at less.; My friend try it 1 time, 2 times, 3 times, and didn't need more tries.. I know a lot of BBoys that come in my gym to get lessons from my coach for their flares or some strength training
KalaXionE 11 months ago
@KalaXionE
I think your original comment is silly, as a b-boy I have gained a lot of skills in Gymnastics, gymnasts can do the same in b-boying. To say Gymnastics has a higher level than B-boying is silly. Either can push the limits, have you ever seen a quad twist from vault? No, have you ever seen a triple twist from airflare to rocks? No, both have new horizons that are unexplored and you don't decide how b-boys train, many do very intensive training regiments like gymnasts.
InfiniteStyleCrew 10 months ago
the legs on gymnasts are so straight, it looks very clean- but somehow bboying looks when its not so perfect and has a bit of flavour. for example a flare for a bboy the legs are slightyly coked and feet arent pointed- for a gymnast theyre so straight and no expression. i think both can learn from each other- obviously bboying has borrowed greatly from gymnastics- but i think gymnasts can learn too from bboying and implement some moves into their routines- which are a bit rigid and boring.

Def gotta give this one to the bboys, though gymnasts are clean and technical, bboys can incorporate their own style into it, way more fun than watching static moves with no flavor. But I guess gymnasts do surpass bboys in alot of fields, just not power

The gymnasts are pretty limited in the amount of time they can put into learning stuff like airflairs... that's why morgan's been the only elite level gymnast to do it. Wish he could have done it at the olympics. It would have probably made it more popular. I feel bad it won't get named after him after all his effort.

Its an entirely different sport. Even though they both perform tricks with the human body. Gymnastics consists of performing moves with control and perfection, that is why they don't really do airflares, also floor routine is not the only compition they compete in there is definately atleast 8 more events i'm guessing. Also i'm a bboy so i am not being biased at all
