Greetings,

Moves that were associated with Capoeira and Chinese Martial arts were pulled into Breakdancing. They were not the foundation of the dance form, nor were they the inspiration.

Capoeira instruction in both the Regional and Angolan styles were available in NYC.

Possible NYC sources for Chinese martial art movements:

1- Chinese Kung Fu Wu Su Association: Very well known for having groundfighting in their curriculum.

2- Ying Jow Pai

3- Fu Jow PAi
