I guess the TRUE MARTIAL ARTS school are soooo trained in the classical way that they did not even place. If you know your history, the Hung Mun is the gradfather of the lion dance. It was this organization who hide their Martial Art in the lion dance to avoid the ban of Martial Arts by the Ching Dynasty

My theory on why Boston Freemason didn't win this tournament is that they are not classically trained the way other Schools are. Boston Freemasons play hoops, v-ball, etc. They're not skilled Martial Artists so they don't have the flexibility and depth of Lion Dancers from TRUE Martial Arts Schools.
I think that's the glaring difference between "Dance Troupes" and hard-core Martial Artists. The NY Masons on the other hand may be different from Boston.

when i was at the show i didnt think this team did good enough to finish in the top 3. After watching this on video i realize how wrong i was. this routine (mistake free) woulda got these guys the win and deservedly so. so them getting 3rd is def justifiable. the move from 1:20 - 1:35 already blows all the other teams below 3rd place away.

it seems to me that asiansilky made a good point about having a degree of difficulty and creativity. they tried to do a snake routine and that's creative because i didnt see a snake till it moved. they did their best. reppin boston, y'all!
