Over the past amount of time that I've taught here in the heart state of America, I've realized that its really important to take new practitioners of the game to a jam if they haven't been to one. It really opens their eyes, well at least here in the Midwest. Here in Iowa, there are not many bboys, and the bboys you do see aren't as established as you may see elsewhere.
In MY eyes, when I first went to a bboy jam called Breaking The Law and competed, it blew my mind. I had no idea what it felt like to be surrounded by all sorts of bboys. After that day, I had a spark, a spark to really become serious with bboying. In Iowa we bboys here can only help each other to a certain extent. We don't have the resources of great bboys and instructors of populated bboy states.
I took one of my students to a jam last September. I know it blew his mind away after going to Falling with Style 4. It included a lot of top bboys in the U.S. ( The Squadron) which included bboys like Roxrite, Kid David, Kevo, Keebz, and among others. The Seven to smokes was pretty dope as well as the final battle.
Aside we went to the Mall of America and ran into some fellow bboys.
