I'm going to guess this is like 1997 or 1998. I used to break with Iron Monkey around this time and he had this on VHS. Ivan was tough and Sean knew it. Both amazing.
10years ago isnt Oldskool to me, this is still fresh cause i was starting out and these guys were some of the first bboys i seen back then. besides they were BBoying into this decade so i'd hardly class these guys as Oldschoolers. I think Iron Monkey is still doing his thing, but Ivan not too sure what hes been doing.

This... This really sucks.
I was expecting some form of Monkey dance off. Not some silly men spinning around on their head cos they're too silly to learn jeet kune do, and fight their battles like true warriors.
Do you even know what jeet kune do is? It's not a style to be learned, but a philosophy to be implemented in fighting, that suggests one learn an array of styles to understand martial arts as a whole and to anticipate different fights under different circumstances.
Ivan is probably the greatest B-boy of all-time. It's a shame he stopped battling, just as b-boys started making real money, thanks to sponsors like Red Bull and Sony.
